Silver Price History or How It All Started

Since the 21st Century began, silver prices have risen, attracting many investors. People turn to precious metals like silver to protect themselves against currency devaluation and stock market volatility. Some investors, known as "preppers," believe silver will be crucial for trade during an economic collapse.

Investors have various options for silver investments, such as paper silver and silver bullion. Physical silver bullion comes in the form of coins, rounds, and bars, with different sizes available. Government minted coins are preferred by some, while others choose bullion bars and rounds with lower premiums. There is a wide range of choices in this investment category.Find out more here:

Apart from physical bullion, "paper silver" options include ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and certificates. These alternatives differ from physical silver as they don't provide direct ownership of the metal. Instead, a silver ETF or certificate represents a document indicating that a bank or financial institution holds a specified amount of silver on the investor's behalf, without physical possession of the silver.
