3. Make sure you are buying .999 pure silver.
Investing in 90% silver half dollars or rolls of quarters 1964 or prior is a great idea. Also has value as currency if silver tanks.
.90 constitutional/junk silver is absolutely appropriate to hold as well. Stay away from the high numismatic value stuff in my opinion - Unless you’re more of a collector than a stacker.
But how do I know that the bars are .999 silver?
Honestly, I’ve gotten so cynical that I’m concerned the bars will be silver plated. I’ve never bought metals as an investment so this is new and a little scary.
Then that would be a Canadian Maple Leaf, our are only .99 silver.
I think maybe Krugerands are .999 also, not sure.
