To this day, silver is still an effective way to store value long term and by far the most popular precious metal.

Investing in Silver
Silver investments are a safe haven for anyone concerned about the long-term value of their money. Silver reliably preserves its value against inflation. Investors should be warned that the silver price can be volatile on a day-to-day basis. That gives active investors an opportunity to earn money on short-term investments, while long-term investors can use other strategies to overcome silver’s ups and downs.

Silver Price in Canada
Before you starting investing in silver, learn about the price of silver and why it makes sense to buy silver online. The price of silver coins and silver bars is based on the spot price of silver, the price silver bullion trades at that moment in time. There’s a premium on all silver coins, silver bars, and silver rounds on top of the silver spot price. Premiums cover the cost of minting and selling silver bullion.
Silver Coins
Silver coins are made by national mints. Coins like the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf or American Silver Eagle are silver bullion coins and are priced closest to the spot price with smaller premiums. Private sources and national mints will often release collectible silver coins with unique artwork based on national heritage, historical events, or pop culture phenomena like Superman and Looney Tunes cartoons. These make great gifts for coin collectors. You can always find deals on silver coins from Silver Gold Bull, too. Save on the cost of silver coins by keeping an eye on our deals.
Silver Bars
Silver bars have lower premiums because they cost less per ounce to mint. Most are privately minted, though some nationally-minted silver bars are available from the Royal Canadian Mint and Australia’s Perth Mint in limited quantities. You can buy silver bars in various sizes, including 1 oz silver bars, 5 oz silver bars, 10 oz silver bars, 100 oz silver bars, and KG silver bars.

There’s also the risk of home burglary if you keep your silver coins and silver bars at home, even in a safe. The securest way to store silver coins and bars is in allocated and segregated storage for silver bullion that’s insured and audited. That means your silver coins and silver bars are stored separately from our other clients’. At Silver Gold Bull, we take investing in silver seriously.
