Bullion Coins & Silver Certificates

[traceyhasabag]

I see the policy on bullion but it is not clear on how it's defined. Silver, Gold? What about silver certificates; should they be listed as bullion?

My listings are on hold as I gather information. Does ebay have a glossary of terms somewhere? 

One other question is Clad. Is it just when there are more than one metal\non precious metal, that makes up the coin?

Thanks guys.

A silver certificate is considered to be paper currency not bullion. Bullion is used for precious metals such as gold and silver.  Bullion may made molded into bars or can be molded in coins. "Clad" is when you have sandwich layers of metals like a quarter where you will see a copper layer (for years 1965 and after). I'm not sure if ebay has a glossary of these terms.

The answer @susanb1872 gave is correct. 

I will add that bullion can also be molded into other shapes. But bullion is pure, not sterling or other lower contents. An example of other bullion may be a piece that is shaped like a rifle cartridge or other shapes. It's .999 fine, and still qualifies as bullion.
