These privately minted rounds, which are roughly the size of a nickel, are increasingly in demand.

When compared to silver in coins before 1965, these rounds make a wise alternative. Available stockpiles of Pre-1965 US silver coins can become scarce (and expensive). The Buffalo rounds are beautiful and uncirculated. The silver content is marked on each round, making them value easy to understand and calculate.

They’re a great add for any investor looking for smaller denomination silver. The small size makes them ideal for use in barter for lower value items. And it provides the potential for extra appreciation should silver prices move dramatically higher, driving increased demand for fractional silver.
