1/2 oz Silver Coin: frequently asked questions
-
The cheapest 1/2 oz silver coin we track is listed by UK Bullion at $59.67, which works out to around 79.6% over the spot price. Prices move with silver spot, so the comparison table above always shows the live best offer.
-
A 1/2 troy ounce silver coin contains 1/2 oz of silver at 999.9 fineness. In metric terms that is approximately 15.55 grams. Note that a troy ounce (31.1 g) is heavier than a standard avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g), so the coin weighs more in grams than buyers used to imperial ounces might expect.
-
Generic silver coins are privately minted rounds or coins sold purely for their metal content, without a sovereign government's legal-tender status or official face value. Named coins like the American Silver Eagle are struck by government mints, carry a face value, and typically trade at a higher premium because of their official backing and broader secondary-market recognition. Generic coins offer the same silver content at a lower cost over spot.

It depends on where you buy. In the UK, silver carries 20% VAT; in Canada, investment silver is free of GST at 0%; in Australia, bullion silver is also GST-free at 0%. VAT treatment varies by country, so check local rules before purchasing.
