Silver bullion coins and bars, as well as silver paper, are a solid investment, regardless of inflation. The value of money fluctuates based on each government. Silver is an international way to store value. Silver bullion is silver in the form of bars, coins, ingots or rounds. The best known silver coins are silver Eagles, Maple Leafs, Kookaburras and Britannia's. But not all silver bullion coins are created equal, and buyers must be aware of the differences to make educated purchases. Back then, an ounce of silver was worth between $4 and $6. Today, silver values may differ $4 to $6 in a month. Silver had spiked to more than $35 per ounce in 2011. Now, it’s settled closer to $20. But that’s still multiples more than what silver was worth when I got into the hobby of coin collecting!
