Silver coins come in two basic types and are valued and priced differently.

Silver dollars or other denomination of coins formerly used in general circulation, either in the US or abroad as money, are usually not 100% pure silver. Pure silver is defined as metal purity of .999 (99.9%) Old silver dollars, for example, are only about 90% silver and do not contain one troy oz of silver. Additionally these old monetary coins may have numismatic value from collectors over and above the melt value. A collector premium can be very high based on rarity and condition. All other old silver coins are priced at some premium over the spot silver value. Coin or bullion dealers generally charge a premium above the spot silver price in the 10 to 20% range at a minimum. Old silver coins are generally well worn and used merely as an alternative to bullion coins or bars.

In contrast, one troy ounce .999 silver proofs minted from our own refinery output are an excellent way to buy and hold silver for value and liquidity. The silver coins produced by Capital and Assay are of the same weight (one troy ounce) and purity (.999) and are as attractive as any coins coming from the U.S. or Canadian mint. The weight and purity are minted on each coin which serves to verify value whenever they are sold or exchanged.

More importantly, if you're not happy with your one ounce .999 silver Liberty coin from Capital and Assay, we will buy back the coin at the London fix price on the day you choose to sell. Capital and Assay charges a small $2.50 premium over silver fix price making these one of the most attractive silver bullion coins available today. We have substantial inventory to cover most orders and you're buying direct from the manufacturer.
