Authenticated Secondary Silver Bullion: Affordable Precious Metal Investment
Secondary silver bullion represents an exceptional opportunity in today’s precious metals market, particularly as silver prices continue to climb. At Jaggards, we offer previously traded silver products including investment-grade coins, bars, and historic Australian “junk” silver, each meticulously inspected through our comprehensive authentication protocol. With industrial demand projected to create the fifth consecutive year of global silver supply deficits, our secondary market offerings provide both affordability and growth potential for investors seeking precious metals diversification.
Our Authentication Process
At Jaggards, we use three advanced technologies to ensure every secondary silver bullion product in our inventory is 100% genuine:
XRF Authentication Technology
Our state-of-the-art XRF analyser provides detailed elemental composition analysis of all precious metals. This non-destructive testing method precisely verifies silver purity and fineness (typically 99.9% or 92.5% for sterling), detecting even sophisticated plating attempts and ensuring your investment meets exact composition standards.
Ultrasonic Thickness Verification
Our ultrasonic thickness gauge measures sound wave penetration through metals, providing a secondary verification layer against sophisticated counterfeits. This technology easily detects tungsten or lead-filled fakes by measuring the internal density and consistency of each piece, ensuring solid silver content throughout.
Sigma Metalytics Verification
Our Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier uses electromagnetic wave technology to measure the electrical conductivity and resistivity characteristics unique to genuine silver. This patented technology penetrates deeply beyond surface plating, ensuring every piece in our inventory is authentic silver through its core.
