About this round
One ounce of .999 silver with the classic Buffalo nickel design, struck by SilverTowne Mint. Not legal tender; pure silver all the same. Contains 1 troy oz of fine silver (.999). Packaging: Tube of 20.
A one-ounce round of .999 fine silver struck by SilverTowne Mint in Indiana, with the Buffalo nickel design by James Earle Fraser.
Rounds are privately minted, so they are not legal tender and carry no government guarantee, but the silver is the same. That is why they sell at a lower premium than sovereign coins.
This round costs a little more than our generic round because you know exactly which design you will get. Ships in tubes of 20.
Questions
How is the price of the Silver Buffalo Round calculated?
It contains 1 troy oz of fine silver. At the current spot price of $51.74/oz that metal is worth $51.74; our premium for one unit is $1.75 (3.4%), paying by bank transfer. The price updates with spot until you lock it at checkout for 10 minutes.
Why is the card price higher?
Card networks charge us a fee on every card payment. Our list price is the card price; paying by bank transfer (ACH) or wire saves you 4%.
Can it go in an IRA?
Yes: it meets the IRS fineness rules for a precious-metals IRA. It must be held by an IRA custodian at an approved depository, not at home, and the custodian has the final say on what it accepts.
Is this legal tender?
No. Rounds are privately minted, so their value is the silver they contain.
Can I hold this in an IRA?
It depends on your custodian. Some accept privately minted .999 silver; ask yours before buying for an IRA.
How will it be shipped?
Fully insured, in plain packaging with no reference to what's inside, and a signature is required on delivery. Tracking is emailed when it ships.
