Silver Trade Unit Means It is Produced By A Private Mint Company

The definition of a silver trade unit is a term used to identify a silver piece produced by a private mint company, as opposed to being minted by a government entity.

There are innumerous private mints out there today.

Some common ones are Africa Mint, Alaska Mint, Custom Medals and Coins, Evergreen Mint, Nevada Coin Minting, Northern Mint and many others.

Not all coins made by private mints are of supreme quality.

Before you invest in silver coins or bullion through a private mint, make sure they are known for producing high quality, well-defined silver pieces that are at least .999, or 99.9%, fine silver.
