Jackson Silver Overview
Jackson Silver, Austin TX was a private bullion issuer operating from 2009 through 2013 as part of the American Open Currency Standard (AOCS) network. The organization issued a series of .999 fine silver and gold bullion rounds honoring President Andrew Jackson, using his opposition to the Second Bank of the United States and advocacy of constitutional money as the central theme of the series. The original silver issue was marketed as the “Andrew Jackson Anti-Banker” round, and archived materials link the JacksonSilver.com program to Republic Trading Group, also of Austin. Jackson Silver functioned as an independent issuer while participating as an AOCS Approved currency.

Distribution – Jackson Silver products were initially marketed through JacksonSilver.com and the AOCS/Open Currency network as participating AOCS Approved currencies. By 2010, AOCS Mint was selling the Andrew Jackson gold round directly, and archived aocsmint.com captures from 2011 show the silver round offered through the same storefront; Jackson Silver’s own online activity appears to have ceased in the same period. Whether that reflects a formal transfer or an informal handoff has not been established. By 2013, the reissued Andrew Jackson silver round was offered by Provident Metals through a documented pre-sale beginning in February 2013, demonstrating distribution through a major national bullion retailer in addition to the AOCS network.
Jackson Silver Relationship to AOCS
Jackson Silver was one of the independent bullion programs participating in the American Open Currency Standard. Rather than issuing bullion directly, AOCS established standards for participating currencies while independent organizations such as Jackson Silver retained their own identity and branding. As AOCS evolved into a broader marketplace and distribution network, Jackson Silver remained one of its documented participating currency programs.
Jackson Silver Notes
The Andrew Jackson series documents the evolution of the AOCS ecosystem between 2009 and 2013. All four editions were struck under AOCS Mint. Production of the 2009 silver and 2010 gold is attributed to North American Mint; the 2013 reissue was struck by Mulligan Mint during the peak of the AOCS/Mulligan production period, as documented on Provident Metals’ product pages. The Jackson obverse die — portrait, ANDREW JACKSON, and the dates 1767–1845 — carried through every edition. The silver issues pair it with the program’s own reverse, carrying the Jackson quotation, FEDERAL RESERVE ACT 1913, the FIFTY trade value, WWW.JACKSONSILVER.COM, and the copyright year; the 2010 gold instead uses the AOCS gold reverse shared across that year’s gold set, with no Jackson Silver branding on the piece. Although the 2013 issue entered commercial distribution through Provident Metals, surviving marketplace evidence suggests it experienced a comparatively limited retail release, making it one of the scarcer AOCS-era bullion issues.
