Distribution – Jackson Silver products were initially marketed through the AOCS/Open Currency network as participating AOCS Approved currencies. By 2013, the redesigned 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. The original silver issue was produced by North American Mint, while the redesigned 2013 issue was manufactured by Mulligan Mint during the peak of the AOCS/Mulligan production period. 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.
