Pure Silver Coins: An Investor’s Delight

Be it a declining dollar, fears of inflation, collector’s ambition, or pure curiosity, pure silver coins offer an opportunity. To the investor it’s alternative to paper investments, and to the collector it’s ascetic and rare qualities. Either collector or investor pure silver coins are a selection for both. And, these coins are readily available from dealers, on the Internet, and at-or-in auctions.

As a pure silver coin, the coin needs to have 90-99% of silver. Indeed, many countries, such as U.S.A., United Kingdom, Mexico, China, and Australia produce an ounce of pure silver.

Examples of these silver coins are U.S. silver eagles, to the Canadian silver maple leaf, Chinese Panda, British sovereign and the variety issued by the Australian Mints.

More for the collector, but even coins featuring famous people are available from the late Princess Diana, Marylyn Monroe; even John Wane has a silver coin minted after him.

A quick search on the net will net you hundreds of varying types and styles and mintages but all with the same theme of purse silver but in different sizes from one troy ounce up to one-kilo coins.

If you do decide to seek out and buy pure silver coin sets, then be sure to buy from a reputable dealer–or the mint directly, if possible. Ensure the quality of the coin is near proof, proof or brilliant un-circulated. Also ensuring the coin is sealed in the original container and has a certificate to go with it will help maintain the value of the coin.

Indeed, it can be heaps of fun collecting a pure silver coin or set of coins or profitable for investors. Regardless of investor or collector these pure silver coins will shine into the future.

   I have a 1935, silver quarter and a 1952, silver, Franklin half dollar in fairly good condition, are they worth anything? If so how would you go about selling them for the best price?

   Hi, can you mention a reputable dealer or a mint where I can buy silver coins? And by the way I have a Montana Territorial Centenial 1864-1964, it says on the front ‘Official Souvenir Dollar’, is this worth anything?

   the U.S. Mint sells silver eagles and silver proofs of most US coins. Personally I am a fan of the Canadian Silver Maple, but the eagle is always worth a few cents more.

   Hello Everyone
   I was given a bunch of silver half dollars and silver dimes left from a death in my family. Are they worth anything? They were looked at and are said to be 99 percent silver, though none are in any plastic but were kept rolled up tightly and are not tarnished at all. Can someone give me a site name to go to that may buy them from me or where i can sell them? Thanks Much
