Silver Investments

Silver coins suffer the same fate as their gold counter parts. They have no special value other than their raw metal content. The only coins that ever appreciate in value in excess of their metal content are coins that have been used as actual currency at some stage in their past. For instance a medieval English silver coin or a Tudor silver coin will have for more value than that of a Chinese Panda silver coin, which although beautiful has no other investment merit other than it's raw metal value.

Why is this so? It's simple supply and demand really. The rarity of coins that can never again be produced is what establishes value. A panda silver coin is produced in some quantity and as such it has no real collectable value. This is often seen in the price where the initial selling price as say, 15 dollars is only held for a year or two after which the selling price of the coin quickly depreciates back to 7 dollars, the net value of the metal of the coin.

If you want to trade in rare coins, that ARE valuable and do appreciate over time, mail the best guys in the business that I've met.

As a silver coin supplier, I have to state the my investment view is purely in terms of watching the silver price rise. Silver is a commodity like any other and it's will start to run in the same way we have seen other commodities start to run. We have seen oil streak ahead, and we will watch gold, silver and other commodities do the same. My feeling is that silver is likely to do better than gold because historically it has traded at a 16:1 ratio to that of gold. At the moment the gap is closer to 60:1 an historic differential and I feel that this gap is set to close. Even if gold does not rise dramatically, the silver gap is large enough that there will be substantial appreciation of the metal in any event.

Of course if I'm wrong, you will lose out. But to have 50% loss, silver will have to fall to 3.5 dollars. The way I see it, that's way low. By then the world will have stopped turning, and if gold falls by 50%, well then, I'll be happy to eat my words and paint myself green and yellow and blue. The chances of this happening are simply not reasonable, based on the research I have done.
