Investing

Physical Silver and Investing in Silver

Buying silver bars or silver coins is a good way to invest in physical silver.  Small purchases of silver can be made at very reasonable prices.  Silver bars are sold for a small premium above the silver value.  You can purchase silver bars and coins easily through a coin show or purchase silver bars through major banks. 

Silver coins are a popular choice for the investor.  The coins can be purchased as silver bullion coins (Canadian Maple Leaf) or collectible coins.  Collectible coins vary in silver content.  It is a good idea to get a coin book that will tell you the different amounts of silver in the collectible coins.  Carry a calculator with you to the coin shows so you can calculate the value of silver in the coins and compare the price with the market value of the silver.  Some coins will be much higher priced due to the collector value.  Look for coins with little collector value and a price closer to the value of silver. 

This is a good way to make an investment in silver that you can store in your own home.  We suggest having a quality safe to store you silver collection in or a safety deposit box at your bank.  Our family uses a safety deposit box instead of keeping our valuables in our home.

Always buy from reputable dealers.  Most local coin shows have reputable dealers at them as the other dealers in the coin show can identify forgery and the dishonest dealer does not usually want to sell counterfeits where he can easily be uncovered.   Chat with the dealers at the shows to find out who are the trusted and established dealers.

Most of all enjoy, as it can be a lot of fun collecting silver at shows.

Another source we go to is an auction but you need to study a bit and know what you are looking for.

I used to buy quality fashion non silver jewelry but have found I can buy sterling silver jewelry for almost the same price.  Although it is a small investment in silver I feel it is still an investment.  I hope we can help provide you with some silver jewelry at reasonable prices that is fun to wear, fashionable, creative and has intrinsic monetary value. 

Many silver mining firms trade in public stock exchanges worldwide. You can also invest in silver by holding shares of silver in a mining company.   There is a lot of reading and learning about investing in silver.  Many other options for investing in silver are available but may be not as straightforward. 

Gold

Gold can be invested in much the same way as silver but will involve a much larger monetary investment.

Gold is a shiny metal that is soft and dense. It is a highly attractive metal and besides copper it is the only metal that is not a grey or silver colour.

For thousands of years gold has held an attraction for Man and has been associated with power, wealth and gods. 

Over history gold has been used in countless temples and cathedrals, on crowns of royalty and used for top athletes for Olympic medals.  In the past gold was often used as money to buy what we desired.

Mans psychological and instinctive attraction to gold cannot be explained.  It is hoarded as a sense of monetary wealth and security.
