What is the Silver Spot Price?

The spot price of Silver is the current price in the Precious Metals marketplace at which a raw ounce of Silver can be bought and sold for immediate delivery. The spot price fluctuates constantly, making it important for investors to stay up to date on current events, market conditions and other performance indicators, as they affect both the buying and selling of Precious Metals. The price you will pay for any Silver product is the spot price plus a premium, which is added by all dealers to cover their overhead.

Silver values are quoted in ounces but can easily be converted into grams or kilos, depending on the quantity you want to buy or sell.

Silver Price FAQs

An ounce is not a "regular" ounce when paying the spot on Silver price. When Americans refer to ounces, they generally are referring to avoirdupois ounces. The price of Silver per ounce is always measured in troy ounces, which are equal to 1.09711 avoirdupois ounces. One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams.
The Bid Silver price per ounce today is the current highest market offer to sell to a dealer. Consumers can expect to receive the bid price when selling Silver to a dealer.
The difference between the Ask Silver ounce price and the Bid ounce price of Silver is the Spread, or the bid-ask spread, and represents the dealer's profit. The dealer will pay you the Ask Silver price today when you sell Silver, while you will pay the Bid price of Silver today.
First, decide what kind of Silver you’re interested in buying. There are several types of Silver, ranging from scrap to bullion products. Second, determine the form in which you’d like to buy. If you’re buying Silver bullion, choose between Silver coins, bars and rounds (they look like coins but carry no face value and are not backed by a sovereign government as currency). Next, do your research and identify a reputable seller. For example, American Numismatic Association offers a list of Authorized Dealers. Atlas Gemstones has been on that shortlist for many years. Finally, prepare for how you will securely protect and store your Silver. There are many factors and options for this. Of course, many choose to store their Silver in their own vaults or lockboxes at home, as well.
Today’s spot price of Silver, like all days, is constantly changing according to supply and demand, market conditions, geopolitical forces and many other variables. However, today’s Silver value could also refer to the total percent change of the spot price, as calculated relative to the price at the start of that trading day.
A troy ounce of Silver is equal to 31.10 grams. It’s a unit of measure first used in the Middle Ages, originating in Troyes, France. You may notice that this is slightly heavier than the 28.35 grams we’ve come to expect from the standard ounce (also known as the avoirdupois ounce). Troy weight units are primarily used in the Precious Metals industry.
The price of Silver can fluctuate based on market conditions, supply and demand, geopolitical events and more. When someone refers to the price of Silver per ounce, they are referring to the spot price. The spot price of Silver is always higher than the bid price (what dealers pay for Silver per ounce) and always lower than the ask price (what you will pay a dealer for Silver per ounce). The difference between the spot price and the ask price is known as the premium of Silver per ounce.
Silver prices at any given moment are the same no matter where you buy in the world. Live Silver prices always reflect Silver traded in U.S. dollars. In local markets, the Silver price in USD is simply converted to the local currency to reflect the price for 1 troy ounce of Silver.
The overall price of your coin will change with the spot price, but Silver coin values also vary depending on factors such as mintage, scarcity and condition. Whether they come from a private mint or a sovereign mint, Silver coin values will differ. Coins and bullion make great opportunities to grow the value of your collection.
Make the most of your Silver with Precious Metals IRAs, which are Self-Directed IRAs. Just like with regular IRAs, any profits on your Silver investment sales can be tax deferred as long as the proceeds are kept with your reinvestment custodian or transferred to another IRA account.

When someone refers to the price of Silver, they are usually referring to the spot price of Silver. Silver is considered a commodity and is typically valued by raw weight (in this case the weight of pure metal content). Unlike other retail products where the final price of a product is largely defined by branding and marketing, the market price of 1 oz of Silver is determined by many factors including supply and demand, political and economic events, market conditions and currency depreciation. The price of Silver changes constantly and is updated by the minute on AtlasGemstones.com.

The worth of Silver is determined by the current spot price. This price is determined by many factors such as market conditions, supply and demand, and even news of political and social events. The value or worth of a Silver product is calculated relative to the weight of its pure metal content and is measured in troy ounces. However, collectible or rare Silver products may carry a much higher premium over and above the value found in its raw metal weight. Additionally, other factors such as merchandising, packaging or certified grading from a trusted third-party may influence the final worth of the Silver product you are purchasing.
Silver bullion refers to a Silver product that is valued by and sold mostly for its metal content and does not contain any numismatic or collectible value. Silver bullion often appears in the form of bars, rounds and Sovereign coins that carry a face value and are backed by a government. These products are most commonly categorized therefore as either .999 fine or .9999 fine Silver bullion, meaning the product is either 99.9% or 99.99% pure Silver.
