The tradability of silver investment coins

When investing in physical silver, there are various options and choices to make. As you may read in many places, the smartest option for private individuals is purchasing silver coins. However, even here, the choices are vast. In this blog, we delve deeper into the tradeability of silver investment coins and lesser-known coins.

Investment Coins

There are various types of investment coins available for those investing in physical silver. At The Silver Mountain, we buy and sell only globally recognized investment coins, ensuring their worldwide tradeability, unlike lesser-known coins.
We’ve previously written about silver investing and the coins you can choose, and we’ve also covered this topic on YouTube. Check out the video below from Rolf van Zanten, founder and owner of The Silver Mountain, for guidance on choosing the best silver coin.

Which silver coins should I buy?

Recently, we’ve seen many new silver coins emerge. These are often relatively unknown coins priced slightly cheaper than recognized investment coins. However, these are not globally recognized, meaning they cannot be traded internationally. For this reason, The Silver Mountain does not buy or sell such coins.
We deal exclusively in globally recognized investment coins. These coins are acknowledged worldwide and, therefore, tradable everywhere. The weight, purity, tradeability, and buyback prices are the same for all our investment coins. As such, choosing the most affordable silver investment coin is always the best option, ensuring you can sell your silver at fair conditions anytime.

Recognized Investment Coins

On our webshop, you can easily browse our selection of investment coins. These globally recognized products allow for international trading. The most common investment coins offered by The Silver Mountain include:

• Philharmoniker
• Kangaroo
• Maple Leaf
• Britannia
• Krugerrand
• Silver Eagle

The most well-known silver coins are the Maple Leaf, Silver Eagle, and Philharmoniker, while the most renowned gold coins are the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf. However, all of the above coins are globally recognized and tradeable, with the same buyback guarantee offered.
Other coins traded for their silver value alone are not bought or sold by The Silver Mountain due to their limited tradeability and lack of global recognition. For inquiries about specific products, feel free to contact us.

Best Options

At The Silver Mountain, we recommend selecting the most affordable recognized investment coin. The weight, purity, buyback guarantee, and tradeability of these coins are identical. When selling these coins back to us in the future, we base our offer on the current silver price.
Occasionally, our website features coins from previous years, bought back from customers. These are often priced lower and are a great alternative. We recommend choosing these coins, if available, as they offer the same buyback percentage as newly minted coins.

Collector Coins

In addition to investment coins, we also sell collector coins at The Silver Mountain. These coins are often part of a series, such as the Koala series by The Perth Mint or the Queen’s Beasts series by The Royal Mint.
There are also collectible editions of well-known investment coins, often struck in higher quality. For example, the 1 troy ounce gold Krugerrand proof coin is a stunning collector's item based on the iconic gold investment coin. This coin is struck in the highest quality, comes in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity, and is part of a limited edition.
