1 oz Silver Buffalo Round - Random Mint

1 oz Buffalo Silver Round - Random Mint

Many investors looking to diversify their portfolios look for silver rounds as a way to do so. Silver rounds may not enjoy legal tender status or carry a face value like silver coins from a government mint, but they tend to have lower premiums over the spot price.

The Buffalo rounds design is arguably one of the most popular ones among silver rounds producers and a best-seller among investors. Many private mints draw inspiration from the discontinued James Earle Fraser Buffalo Nickel.

From this purchase option, SD Bullion offers you the opportunity to purchase 1 oz Buffalo Silver Rounds from random mints. No matter from which facility, you are guaranteed to receive a silver round of at least 99.9% pure silver.

• Shipped in tubes of 20 or strapped cardboard boxes of 500 rounds

The Design

Silver Buffalo Rounds reproduce the famous design created by James Earle Fraser for the Buffalo Nickel coin, also known as the Indian Head Nickel or the Silver Buffalo coin. A reviewed version of this classic design also stamps the 24k Gold Buffalo Coin.

The obverse depicts a Native American bust that joins the characteristics of three important Indian tribes: the Two Moons, the Iron Tail, and the Big Tree. The only inscription on this side is “LIBERTY,” which arches in front of the Indian’s face.

The reverse design corresponds to the image that names the piece. It is the image of an American Bison, resembling a Buffalo, hence the moniker.

On the upper rim, the engravings describe the round’s weight of 1 oz silver, and on the bottom, they express purity and metal content.

Random Mints

Random shopping may be an interesting option for investors who are more interested in bullion than its brand. SD Bullion has a comprehensive inventory of 1 oz Bullion Silver rounds of at least .999 fine silver with lower premiums over the silver spot price.

Mints may vary according to our stock availability at the shipping moment, but we guarantee an original American Buffalo One Troy ounce round.

Buffalo Silver Rounds - FAQs

What is a 1 oz Buffalo silver round worth?

The value of a 1 oz Buffalo silver round is based on the current silver spot price, multiplied by 1, plus a dealer premium. Dealers add this premium above the spot price to cover costs such as manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and general business operations.

How Can You Tell if a Silver Buffalo Round Is Real?

Because Silver Buffalo rounds are privately minted and do not include government-backed security features, it’s important to verify authenticity carefully:

• Check the Hallmark: Look for a clear “.999 Fine Silver” stamp indicating purity.
• Verify Weight and Dimensions: A genuine round should weigh 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams). Confirm the diameter and thickness match the issuing mint’s specifications.
• Buy from a Reputable Dealer: Purchasing from a trusted precious metals dealer, such as SD Bullion, helps ensure you receive authentic silver products.

Are Silver Buffalo Rounds a Good Investment?

Silver Buffalo rounds are widely regarded as one of the most cost-effective ways to invest in physical silver.

Pros:

Low Premiums: They typically carry lower premiums over the silver spot price than sovereign coins like the American Silver Eagle, allowing you to acquire more silver for your investment.

Strong Liquidity: They are widely recognized and easily bought and sold through major precious metals dealers.

Cons:

No Legal Tender Status: As privately minted silver rounds, they are not backed by a government or assigned a face value.

Resale Preferences: In certain niche markets, official government-issued silver coins may command slightly stronger resale demand.
