Questions & Answers
Common questions about Silver Canadian Superleaf Coins answered by our editorial team.
What are silver bullion coins?
Silver bullion coins are government-minted coins containing a specific weight of .999 fine silver. Popular examples include the American Silver Eagle, Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, and British Britannia. These coins carry legal tender status and are recognized worldwide for their purity and authenticity.
Why choose government-minted silver coins over bars or rounds?
Government-minted coins offer legal tender status, guaranteed weight and purity backed by sovereign nations, and superior liquidity. While bars and rounds may have slightly lower premiums, coins are more easily authenticated, widely recognized by dealers, and often qualify for IRA accounts.
How much does a silver bullion coin cost?
At current silver prices, a 1 oz silver bullion coin costs approximately ~$140-$160 depending on spot price and dealer premiums. The price consists of the silver spot value plus a premium typically ranging from 3-6% for standard bullion coins.
Are silver coins easy to sell?
Yes, government-minted silver coins are highly liquid. As products of sovereign mints with legal tender status, they are recognized and readily purchased by dealers worldwide. Most established dealers will buy silver coins at competitive prices, typically within 2-4% of spot.
Can I hold silver coins in my IRA?
Yes, many silver bullion coins are IRS-approved for Precious Metals IRAs. The .999 fine purity meets the IRS minimum requirement, and government-minted status meets eligibility requirements. Coins must be held by an approved custodian in an approved depository while in your IRA.
