While always seems to get the attention of the media, silver is a viable investment as well due to its use in industrial applications and its use in coins and jewelry. Silver has been a desired element for thousands of years as a result of its beauty and workability in make jewelry and other ornaments. As far as industrial use, silver is used in high end electrical components due to its electrical conductivity. With this wide range of uses, silver should continue to be a desired commodity in the future.
One way to invest in silver is stock investing. Buying stocks in companies that produce silver is done just like any other company or industry. The top two silver mining countries are Mexico and Peru. The United States, Canada, and Australia are also large producers of silver. Investors looking for silver producing stocks may want to stay with the last three due to the more stable economies and governments in these countries. Investors need to thoroughly research companies before investing in them as their possible stock price improvement is not tied only to the price of silver. Silver is often mined as a byproduct of copper and other precious metals, so a silver producing company might not even focus its energies of the production of silver.
Most people who are seeking to invest in silver are probably of thinking of buying silver coins and silver bars. The trick here is to find sellers who are actually selling at the spot price of silver (spot plus a reasonable fee). A general rule is that the more silver you are buying the less percentage of fees you should be expected to pay. When buying coins to invest in their silver content be certain you are not buying coins for their numismatic value (the value to a collector of rare coins). Most common mintages of coins that were circulated in the past (pre 1964 dimes, quarters, halves, etc) can be bought close to their spot value, but again if you are only buying a few you will be charged a higher percentage fee. Sites such as eBay can be used to buy small lots of silver coins near spot value, or if you are lucky, even below spot value.
Remember, when buying silver or anything else for an investment look for drawbacks in price and buy low. Have patience when looking for bullion coins and get a good deal and don't just take any deal that you find. Be a long term investor and silver should pay off for you in the long run.
