Why Silver?

Silver offers several benefits:

• Diversification: Adding silver to your portfolio can reduce risk and increase potential returns.
  

• Industrial Demand: Silver is used in various industries, including electronics and solar energy, driving long-term demand.
  

• Hedge Against Inflation: Like gold, silver has historically retained value during economic downturns.
  

Types of Silver Products to Consider

When building your silver portfolio, consider the following products:

• American Silver Eagles: These government-issued coins are highly recognizable and easy to sell. At Big Apple Coins, we offer competitive rates for buying and selling American Silver Eagles.
  

• 10 oz Silver Bars: Ideal for collectors / stackers looking to purchase larger quantities of silver at a lower premium. We often have a variety of 10 oz silver bars for sale, including those from reputable mints.
  

• Silver Rounds: These privately minted coins often carry lower premiums and are a cost-effective way to add silver to your portfolio. We offer a selection of silver rounds for sale, featuring various designs and weights.
  

• Junk Silver: Pre-1965 U.S. coins, such as dimes, quarters, and half dollars, contain 90% silver and are a popular choice among collectors / stackers. We regularly have junk silver for sale, providing an affordable entry point into silver.
