The security of independent silver storage

Many providers keep purchased precious metals at their own vault locations. We believe this poses a risk to transparency. That is why the 1 toz of silver you have bought through GoldRepublic is stored with external, specialized vault custodians such as Brink's or Loomis.

The vaults are located in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Zurich. At the latter two locations you benefit from a price advantage, because you pay no VAT on the silver you purchase, whereas you do in the Netherlands. This gives you a saving of 21% VAT.

These external vault custodians operate independently.
This gives you the guarantee that there is no discrepancy between what your account shows and what is actually held in the vault. Your holdings are also fully insured against theft and damage, so you do not have to worry about the risks that come with storing valuables at home.

This strict separation of assets and the oversight by an external auditor make GoldRepublic a safe haven for the serious investor.

Buy-back guarantee on 1 troy ounce of silver

GoldRepublic offers an unconditional buy-back guarantee for all the silver you have purchased from us and had stored in our external vaults. Whether you want to sell your entire troy ounce, part of it (possible from just 1 gram) or larger quantities (such as 100 grams of silver), all of this is possible.

When you decide to sell your troy ounce of silver, you can arrange this with a single click in your account. We buy the silver back from you directly at the current silver price, after which the amount is credited to your account within a short time.

Saving up 1 troy ounce of silver

In addition to buying 1 troy ounce of silver from GoldRepublic on a one-off basis, you can also choose to save in silver periodically. You then buy a quantity of silver at a fixed moment (once a week, every two weeks or per month). This is possible from just 1 gram or from $55 each time. In this way you gradually build up your silver holdings and spread your purchase moments over time, reducing the chance of entering at a "bad" moment.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 troy ounce of silver?

1 troy ounce of silver equals 31.1034768 grams. A troy ounce is heavier than a regular ounce, which weighs about 28.35 grams. It is the international standard measure for expressing the weight of silver and other precious metals, which makes your silver recognizable and easily tradable worldwide.

Why is 1 troy ounce a popular weight for silver?

The silver price is quoted internationally in dollars per troy ounce, which makes this the natural unit to invest in. In addition, 1 troy ounce is the classic measure worldwide for silver investment coins and smaller bars. This makes it one of the most recognizable and most traded weights for physical silver.

Do I buy 1 troy ounce of silver as a coin or as a silver bar?

Many providers sell 1 troy ounce of silver as a silver coin, but at GoldRepublic you buy a 1 troy ounce share in a larger physical silver bar. You become the legal owner of that share. This is usually priced more favorably than a single coin, because the production costs per gram are lower.

Who is buying 1 troy ounce of silver suitable for?

1 troy ounce is an accessible entry quantity for anyone who wants to buy physical silver with a small amount. The weight is suitable for beginning investors and for those who want to expand their portfolio with precious metal step by step. Because silver is usually cheaper than gold, 1 troy ounce already gives you a tangible position.

Is 1 troy ounce of silver more expensive per gram than larger quantities?

No. Because you buy a share in a larger silver bar, you pay the same fixed transaction percentage for 1 troy ounce as for larger quantities. In this way you avoid the higher production premiums that often apply to individual silver coins or small bars. This makes it a cost-effective way to invest in physical silver.

Is 1 troy ounce of silver always 99.9% pure?

The investment silver you buy through GoldRepublic has a purity of 99.9% (.999) and comes from LBMA-certified producers. This purity is the international standard for physical investment silver, which makes your troy ounce easily tradable worldwide. Unlike some jewelry or historical coins, this silver contains virtually pure precious metal.
