Silver Bullion - What is a Silver Alloy? Silver in its purest form is too soft to hold a durable form. In fact, silver in its purest form is not suitable to use by itself in the manufacturing of jewelry and other items such as silver coins, etc. This is why it’s necessary to alloy (mix) pure silver with copper, nickel, zinc or other metals to make it harder and more durable. This combining/mixing of silver with other metals is known as “silver alloying” and the final compound, if it contains more than 50% silver, is called “silver alloy.” Invest in precious metals today!
