Invest in silver bullion today with our assortment of low-premium circulated silver bullion. Silver has been considered to be a safe haven investment for centuries now, protecting people’s wealth against inflation and erosion of major currencies. Moreover, with its intrinsic value and historical significance, it makes for an attractive investment option to help diversify your precious metals portfolio. 

Why invest in Circulated Silver Bullion 

Circulated Silver is an excellent and cost-effective way of investing in Silver to help grow and diversify your investment portfolio. When compared to brand-new bullion, premiums tend to be lower as brand-new bullion premiums contain costs such as mining, refining, minting, shipping, and small dealer markup. Whereas, circulated bullion has already been traded in the market before and will have a lower overall premium. As a result, it leaves you with more space to acquire more Silver as well as the potential for a strong return on investment.

Circulated Silver – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does “circulated silver” mean?

Pre-owned or circulated silver are pre-owned silver bullion coins, bars, or rounds which could reveal signs of usage, handling, or toning. Although they are not mint state coins, pre-owned coins are guaranteed to hold their original weight and purity of silver.

2. What types of circulated silver coins are provided by AU Bullion?

We provide a large selection of circulated silver coins, which include:

• Canadian Maple Leafs
• American Silver Eagles
• Silver Britannias 
• Silver Kangaroos
• Silver Krugerrands 

Issued silver bars (1 oz, 10 oz, 100 oz, and kilo weights by various mints)

Released silver rounds by reputable private refineries

3. Are circulating coins authentic?

Yes. All circulated coins we offer are authenticated for legitimacy, weight, and purity prior to sale to you. They can have cosmetic defects, but their intrinsic value as silver does not diminish.

4. What condition should I expect with circulated silver?

Churned silver can display:

• Minor scuffs or scratches
• Minor edge wear
• Natural coloring or toning
• Packaging that is not sealed

Regardless of the cosmetic appearance of age, the content of silver is exactly as claimed.

5. Is circulated silver cheaper than newly purchased silver?

Yes. Pre-owned silver coins usually have a smaller premium over spot than new, uncirculated bullion coins. It is an inexpensive way to own large quantities of silver.

6. Do circulated coins and bullion have investment value?

Absolutely. Since their value comes from the weight and purity of silver, circulated silver is just as effective for investment purposes as new bullion. Many investors prefer circulated silver for its lower entry cost.

7. Are circulated silver coins still considered legal tender?

Yes—if they are government-issued bullion coins (e.g., Silver Maple Leaf, Silver Eagle). While cosmetic wear does not affect their legal tender status, their silver value is always higher than the face value.

8. Do circulated silver bars and rounds include assay cards or packaging?

Mostly circulated bars and rounds are not offered sealed or with assay cards, even though they might have come with those originally. These are rather offered as-is with a complete guarantee of purity and authenticity.

9. How are circulated coins priced?

Prices are subject to:

• Current spot price of silver
• Product type and size
• Brand and design

Since circulated silver often has lower premiums, it’s an excellent option for stacking silver affordably.

13. How should I store circulated silver?

Even though circulated products may already show signs of wear, proper storage is still important:

• Store away safely or deposit box
• Use plastic flips, tubes, or capsules for coins and rounds
• Store bars in protective sleeves or stackable boxes for large holdings
