While silver coins, bars, and rounds are popular forms of silver bullion for investors and collectors, there are a wide range of options that present a simpler, more affordable form of silver. Chief among those is silver shot. The simplest form of refined silver, silver shot is the product that is eventually used to create blanks for coining or melted for use in silver bar production. When design and shape dont matter, silver shot offers an exceptionally affordable alternative. Right now, you can purchase 1 Kilo Silver Shot online at Provident Metals.

Highlights:

• Arrives with a plastic bag or a tube!
• Contains 1 Kilo, 32.15 Troy oz, of .999+ pure silver.
• Shot takes the shape of BBs or small grains.

With your purchase of 1 Kilo Silver Shot from Provident Metals, you receive a product that is packaged together in either bags or tubes. Silver shot is not available as a solid mass or clump of silver. Instead, there are hundreds or even thousands of small BBs or grains of pure silver inside of the bag or tube. Silver shot is formed by throwing molten silver into cold water. The rapid change in temperature forces the silver to quickly reform, collecting together in small grains or BBs. The average bit of shot is 6 mm in diameter, but there is no way to ensure a uniform shape to silver shot.

History

Silver shot is the first step in refining and producing a wide range of silver bullion. Raw silver is refined into shot to remove impurities that may exist in the raw metal. Silver shot is then often used by refiners to create silver blanks for coin and round production, or melted into molds for silver bullion bar production. Silver shot can also be purchased by hobbyists and small jewelers for use in a number of other refining projects.
