Not just raw silver: a minted collectible
What makes an American Patriot Mint coin different from a plain bar or round.
Limited-mintage collectibles struck by Osborne Mint in Cincinnati, Ohio
Many collectors value heritage, craftsmanship and documented authenticity. That is a matter of preference, not price: these features are not a promise of higher resale value. “Oldest privately owned mint” is how Osborne Mint describes itself on osbornemint.com.

Not a prediction and not a promise. Here’s what people tell us they value, and what to keep in mind.
You can hold it
A silver coin or bar is a physical object you own outright and keep. It isn’t a number on a statement.
You know what’s inside
Fine silver has a stated weight and purity. Our Lincoln is a 1 troy oz .999 fine silver round, so you can compare it with other options.
Something beyond cash
Some people like owning a little of something other than dollars alongside their savings. Others simply love the history and craft.

Is silver a safe way to beat inflation?
Nobody can honestly promise that. Silver prices can fall as well as rise, and silver may not keep pace with inflation. Some people simply prefer to own a physical asset alongside their savings. This page and the guide are education, not investment advice.
Which of your coins are solid silver?
Our Lincoln is a 1 oz .999 fine silver round. Our Walking Liberty is a silver-plated round and our Donald J. Trump Commemorative Proof is a 24k gold-plated round. Plated rounds are collectibles chosen for their design and story; they are not precious-metal bullion.
Who makes your coins?
Our coins are minted in the USA by Osborne Mint of Cincinnati, Ohio, which describes itself as America’s oldest privately owned mint (founded 1835).
Are you the U.S. Mint or a government program?
No. American Patriot Mint is a private company, not affiliated with the U.S. Mint or any government agency. Our coins are not legal tender.
