Is It a Silver Coin or Is It a Silver Round ??, The COA Says it's a Silver Coin, I Say It's a Silver Round

In 1984 a 25th Anniversary Commemorative Silver Coin was Distributed by Alaska Nuggets in Fairbanks, Alaska............

Now the COA (Certificate of Authenticity) refers to This Silver Piece as a Coin, It has the Same Shape as a Coin, But is it Really a Silver Coin or is it a Silver Round ??

Silver Coins VS. Silver Rounds......

Is There is Difference?

Yes Indeed, There’s a Key Difference.

A Silver Coin, such as 1 oz American Silver Eagles, contain a Minimum of One Troy Ounce of .999 fine silver. Being a Silver Coin, by Definition, The American Silver Eagle is Minted by a Government.

It is Specifically Minted by the U.S. Mint.

That’s why we call them “Coins”.

Coins are Produced and Guaranteed by Government Mints.

“Rounds”, on the other Hand, typically still contain One Ounce of .999 fine Silver Bullion (Although there are fractional smaller versions available). For Example Silver Rounds are all Technically Minted by Private or even Publicly Traded Businesses, not Governments.

I Will Leave The Debate Up to You in the Comments Section, Coins VS. Rounds...........

@dfinney Yes thank you for pointing this out. We Don't have Bear Huts in Scottsdale........

It is a nice commemorative silver round. Thanks for sharing.

Yup I'm saying round also. You always find the coolest pieces @stokjockey!

It is Hard to Pass Up when some of my Favorite Watering Holes come Up with These and Original COA's Too @vgholdingsllc

That's a nice "round!"

You explained the difference well.

Cool rounds. I did not know the difference thanks for the explanation.

Rounds can be Very Nice, but Coins, especially U.S. Coins
are the place to be, when the Biggest Transfer of Wealth,
the World has ever seen, takes place... ...Prepare Now...

IN GOD WE "TRUST" THE PLAN...

It’s very good looking whichever it is ( a round I reckon 😉)
