American 1oz Silver Round
Table of Contents
Over the years, a number of private mints have endeavored to create various printings of silver rounds to commemorate various people, events, or other things of significance. Because these come from private mints, their makers cannot refer to them as “coins”, as that term is reserved by the US Mint for its issues. Although the silver “round” looks in all respects like a coin, it cannot be used as legal tender. However, because it is 1 troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, it indeed has value as determined by the silver market and the secondary market.
American silver rounds are not significantly different from those made in other countries, apart from the subjects printed on them. They are 2.54mm thick, 39mm across, with a standard weight and purity. Pure silver ensures that the round will retain its value even when the market for the specific subject is not in demand.
Printings
There are many different varieties of American 1oz silver rounds. Here are a few:
- Cybermetals
- SilverTowne Lady Liberty
- SilverTowne Liberty Bell Stackable

Many of these offerings are current, or recent. There are too many American silver rounds to list here, and each one has its own year or years of release. If you have one or more silver rounds, we invite you to any of our ten locations in Southern California. We can tell you everything you need to know about your rounds, including the printing, the year, the rating, and the purity. And we will probably make you an offer.
Description
There are so many 1oz American silver rounds that there is no point in describing each one. Because each one commemorates a specific person, place or thing, each mint has its own approach to bringing those images to life. Some use expert engraving, others use color. But in every case, the subject is transformed by the work of the creator.
Value
At the time of this writing, one troy ounce of silver is trading at $24.93. Although the price of silver fluctuates, it provides a base for which to value silver coins and rounds. As these items are collectable, each carries a secondary market value based on the level of interest of the consumer. But at the end of the day, the round is still an ounce of silver, and carries that value.
Grading System
Coins and rounds are scored according to their appearance based on such factors as the strength of strike, the wear, contact marks, and eye appeal. Based on these qualities, the evaluator will give the round a score from 1 to 70. The score of a round can affect its secondary market value, as collectors tend to prize items with no flaws. At Crown Gold Exchange, we have the necessary expertise and equipment to evaluate your round and confirm that it is indeed .999 pure silver. We do this free of charge, because we have to know what we are making an offer on. If your round is pure silver, we will almost certainly make you an offer. But even if it isn’t, we routinely make offers on items made from lower grade silver, once we determine the quality.Customer Testimonial
