  • Cheap! - Silver is traditionally known as "the poor man's gold". While silver is always cheaper than gold, the recent price ratio of gold to silver has been close to 60 to 1! This makes silver way undervalued compared to its potential.

  • Real Money - Silver and gold are not like paper money. Government (fiat) currency is just a representation of real money, silver and gold are the real thing! Silver has been used as money more than any other single substance in history!

  • Portable and Convenient - Since silver is cheaper than gold, it would make a more convenient currency than gold for everyday exchanges, should anything drastic happen to the world's currencies. This means silver coins are the most portable form of real wealth, unless you want to carry gold or platinum in your pocket.


  • Industrial Value - Unlike gold, silver is actually used up and unrecoverable in certain industrial uses, like photography, health care, and electronics. Almost all the gold that was ever mined still exists somewhere, but silver is often used up. This, of course, adds both to its scarcity and demand.

  • Hedge Against Inflation - If currencies collapse around the world, silver and gold will become much more sought after, obviously, but even if we only experience inflation (and we almost certainly will), silver retains its worth while currencies become devalued.

  • Universally Recognizable - Today you can exchange silver coins for cash in any coin shop and in many banks worldwide. It's recognized as wealth everywhere.


  • Easily Identifiable - Although silver coins can be faked, with lead content and a silver plated covering layer, any coin dealer can immediately tell real silver from fake, and in fact, so can any layman with very little training. A fake doesn't even sound the same clinking together in your hand. Testing for real silver is easily and quickly done by a coin dealer if there is any doubt.

  • It's Beautiful! - Besides all the reasons above, people just love silver for its physical beauty. While this is obvious to collectors in silverware and trinkets, it's also true with coins! Its weight and brilliance make it a joy to hold in your hands and mints worldwide take advantage of this by minting the coins, rounds and bars in a large variety of designs.


  • Watch out for "100 Mills"! - Although this is pretty easy to spot if you've even started looking around online for gold and silver, it's worth pointing out. Anything mentioning "100 Mills" in the title or description of the auction is NOT really bullion at all, but silver-plated (or gold-plated) items of some other metal, usually copper. Most have figured this out and stay away from them, but if you're a newbie, look out for these. Read this article for more details. Other than that, don't be afraid to get started buying!


  • Why Not?! - You can begin accumulating wealth with silver gradually with small purchases that won't hurt your wallet. Even if silver prices fluctuate, if you get it and forget it, you'll be storing up real value, that may end up coming in handy later for you and your loved ones! Even if currencies around the world remain relatively in place and stable, silver will still not lose its value, and will still be exchangeable for cash.
