Types of Silver You Can Buy
Silver Coins
Government minted coins such as the Silver Maple Leaf carry a face value and recognized purity, making them highly liquid and easy to resell.
Silver Bars
Bars from recognized refiners usually carry lower premiums per ounce than coins, which suits investors buying larger quantities.
Silver Rounds
Privately minted rounds offer some of the lowest premiums, though they are not legal tender like government coins.
Silver Coins vs Bars vs Rounds
Each format trades off premium, liquidity, and recognizability. Here is how they compare for a typical Canadian buyer.
\n| Format | Premium Over Spot | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Government coins (Maple Leaf) | Higher premium | Most recognizable and liquid, backed by the Royal Canadian Mint |
| Refiner bars | Lower premium | Efficient for larger positions, widely accepted |
| Private rounds | Lowest premium | Lowest entry cost, slightly less liquid on resale |
Premiums move with market demand and product availability. Check the live product page for current pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is silver GST and HST exempt in Canada?
Yes. Investment grade silver refined to 99.9% purity or higher is exempt from GST and HST across Canada. Lower purity items and most jewellery do not qualify for the exemption.
What is the best silver to buy for investment?
For most investors, government coins like the Silver Maple Leaf offer the best mix of recognizability and liquidity, while refiner bars offer lower premiums for larger positions. The right choice depends on your budget and whether resale liquidity or lowest cost matters more.
Where can I store silver safely in Canada?
We offer Brink's insured storage in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, so your silver is held in a professional vault rather than at home. You can also take direct delivery if you prefer to hold it yourself.
How much is the premium over spot on silver?
The premium is the amount above the live spot price you pay for a physical product, and it varies by format and demand. Coins carry higher premiums than bars or rounds. Current premiums are shown on each product page.
