With the recent weakness in the economy and desire on the part of many investors to protect their wealth, investment in precious metals has become more popular than it has been in a decade. One of the first questions investors decide on is whether to invest in gold or silver<\/a>. While gold gets significantly more attention and press coverage than silver, silver has actually outperformed gold this year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not unusual, as during bull markets silver can often see greater price performance than gold. During the 2008-2011 bull market, silver nearly quadrupled in price, while gold \u201conly\u201d tripled. Investors in many asset classes would have been thrilled to get either of those price gains, and undoubtedly many would also be thrilled about the performance that gold and silver could see over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Today, more and more investors are choosing to invest in silver. They\u2019re looking to take advantage of the upside to silver, investing in a metal that has been undervalued for years, and that is overdue for a price breakout. But once they\u2019ve made that decision to invest in silver, the question becomes: should I invest in silver coins<\/a> or silver bars?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an unimportant question, as not all silver is created equal. And if you\u2019re prepared to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on silver, you want to know that your investment will make you completely happy.<\/p>\n

So what will it be? Silver bars or silver coins? Read on to find out the differences between silver bars vs. silver coins, and which form of silver investment makes the most sense for you.<\/p>\n

What are the Differences Between Bars & Coins?<\/h2>\n

One of the first things investors think about when trying to decide on silver bars<\/a> vs. coins is what the differences are between the two. There are at least five that investors need to take into account.<\/p>\n

1. Legal Tender Value<\/h3>\n

The primary difference between silver coins and silver bars is that coins have or had a legal tender value, while bars do not. The legal tender of nearly all silver coins is far less than its metal value. For instance, the Silver American Eagle contains one ounce of pure silver, yet has a $1 face value. The Silver Canadian Maple Leaf also contains one ounce of silver, and its face value is CAD$5. And the Australian \u00bd-ounce Silver Saltwater Crocodile has a face value of AUS$0.50.<\/p>\n

Silver bars don\u2019t have a legal tender face value, partially because in most cases they\u2019re not produced or issued by government-owned mints, nor were they ever intended for circulation as money. They\u2019ll normally contain some indication of their weight and purity, either on the bar itself or on its packaging.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note a third alternative to silver coins vs. bars \u2013 silver rounds. Rounds are, as the name suggests, round silver planchets that are minted with various designs and are best described as a type of medal. Their designs may imitate designs of silver coins, but they\u2019re not produced by government mints, nor do they have any legal tender face value, so for investment purposes it\u2019s best to consider them as essentially a round bar.<\/p>\n

2. Shape<\/h3>\n

In general, coins will be round and bars will be square or rectangular. That isn\u2019t exclusive, as square coins exist, although none of the commonly available silver coins demanded by investors are square. And while bars are normally square or rectangular, silver rounds, which are perhaps better classified as a type of bar, are round.<\/p>\n

3. Size<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest differences between silver bars vs. coins is their size. Silver coins were most commonly available in sizes up to one ounce. In recent years, mints have started to produce silver coins for investors and collectors in sizes up to five ounces. But silver bars have always been available in much larger sizes.<\/p>\n

Silver bars produced in troy ounce sizes generally range from 1 ounce up to 100 ounces, with industrial bars of 1,000 ounces available too. Metric bars are now available in sizes as small as 1 gram (0.032 troy ounces) up to 1 kilogram (about 161 ounces).<\/p>\n

4. Silver Purity<\/h3>\n

Because silver has been a monetary metal for millennia, silver coins have been minted for centuries, with a wide range of silver purity. Sterling silver (.925) was a common alloy for coinage in the UK, while the US and numerous other countries favored a .900 fine alloy. You\u2019ll also come across coins in .800 fineness (Canada), .835 (Latin Monetary Union, Austria-Hungary), .625, and even .500.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that if you intend to invest in silver coins through a silver IRA<\/a>, they have to have a minimum fineness of .999, which means that only coins minted in the past 35 years or so, and intended for the investment market, are eligible for you to invest in. If you use your IRA assets to invest in coins that don\u2019t meet that minimum fineness standard, it\u2019s considered a distribution of your IRA\u2019s assets, and could subject you to income taxes and penalties.<\/p>\n

Silver bars, because they\u2019re intended for investors from the outset, are normally minted to a fineness of .999 or higher, allowing investors to hold them in a silver IRA.<\/p>\n

5. Designs<\/h3>\n

Silver coins offer a multiplicity of designs. From the classic Adolph Weinman Walking Liberty design of the Silver American Eagle<\/a> to the changing reverse designs of the UK\u2019s Silver Britannia Lunar Series, there\u2019s a design out there for everyone. There are even limited edition coins minted to commemorate various occasions such as the end of World War I, coins that won\u2019t be produced again once their supplies are sold out.<\/p>\n

Silver bars sometimes feature a design, although in most cases they aren\u2019t nearly as ornate as those on coins. Silver bars are often the choice of those looking purely to invest in silver without concern for the beauty or design of their investment assets.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Silver Bars<\/h2>\n

One of the benefits of investing in silver bars is that they\u2019re available in various sizes. For someone wanting to invest $50,000 in silver, that could be thousands of coins. But with large silver bars, that could mean investing in a single 1,000-ounce bar and several 100-ounce bars. That\u2019s easier to store and keep track of.<\/p>\n

Silver bars may be more affordable on a per-ounce basis, especially in the larger sizes. The downside there is that not every investor can afford to drop tens of thousands of dollars on a single silver bar.<\/p>\n

Some silver bars also come with certificates of authenticity, serial numbers, and other means of preventing counterfeiting and fraud. That can help assuage the minds of investors worried about being defrauded of their hard-earned money.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Silver Coins<\/h2>\n

One of the major benefits of silver coins is that they are easily recognizable. Everyone recognizes the coins produced by the US Mint, Royal Mint, Perth Mint, and others. But not every investor is familiar with the bars produced by refiners and assayers.<\/p>\n

Silver coins can also be easier to transport than large bars. And because they\u2019re smaller in size, in the event of a breakdown of the monetary system, they\u2019re easier to use in commerce than silver bars. You may not think that the monetary system will break down anytime soon, but when currencies collapse, it often happens quickly and unexpectedly. Remember the Weimar hyperinflation in post-World War I Germany, in which those who owned gold and silver, or currencies that could be redeemed for gold and silver, fared better than those who held paper money, bank deposits, or pensions.<\/p>\n

Some silver coins, especially those minted specifically for investment through a silver IRA, also come with certificates of authenticity in order to combat counterfeiting. And if you purchase those coins from sellers who deal directly with the mints who produced them, you\u2019ll eliminate the possibility of buying counterfeit coins, a problem that can plague some secondary precious metals markets.<\/p>\n

Are Silver Bars or Coins Right for Me?<\/h2>\n

As with any other investment, the form of silver you purchase is dependent on your investing goals. If you\u2019re looking only to benefit from the monetary gains that you could make from an increase in the silver price<\/a>, and you don\u2019t plan on ever taking physical delivery of your silver, then you might decide that silver bars are the better choice for you.<\/p>\n

If you want to benefit monetarily from silver\u2019s price gains but you also want to hedge against devaluation of the dollar or a collapse of the international fiat currency monetary system, and you think that you might decide to take some or all of your silver IRA distributions in the form of physical silver, then you may decide to invest in silver coins vs. silver bars.<\/p>\n

Or then again, if you want to maximize your exposure to silver and diversify your silver investments, you could invest in both. A healthy mix of both silver coins and silver bars could be just what you need to rebalance your investments and position yourself to benefit from future price gains.<\/p>\n
