With the price of silver hovering around $34.22 an ounce, it’s hard to see the announcement of the Trump Silver Round with a retail price of $100 as anything other than a money grab.
Like the pricing of Donald Trump silver rounds, any commemorative or politically themed precious metal product involves several factors beyond the spot price of silver.
However, for something like this to have even semi-numismatic value, it must be of limited mintage to create rarity and scarcity. The mintage of these rounds is unlimited, transforming the product into a form of political expression through numismatics rather than a collectible asset with investment potential.
While some collectors believe this is a piece of political memorabilia that could increase in value over time, they are most likely to end up in a dealer’s generic bin or back at the refinery.
If you want to add Trump Silver Rounds to your collection, a wide variety is available from silver dealers throughout the country at more affordable prices.
Each round varies in design, but common themes include Trump’s inaugural moment, the White House, and more symbolic imagery like the bald eagle or the American flag.
