Exchange BasisEstimated Price per Ounce (ARS)

Why the price varies

  • The "Blue" Gap: Because of currency restrictions, physical silver is usually traded closer to the "Dólar Blue" (parallel) rate. If you are buying physical bullion or jewelry, expect to pay a premium that reflects the higher parallel exchange rate.

  • Global Market Shift: Silver recently saw a sharp correction after reaching highs near $120 USD. This global dip has lowered the local price in Argentina despite the ongoing inflation of the peso.

  • Retail Premiums: If you are buying a physical coin (like the Onza Libertad or an American Eagle), shops in Buenos Aires or online marketplaces like Mercado Libre will add a 20% to 30% premium over the raw "spot" metal price.
