When silver was discovered around 3000 BC it was considered more desirable than gold. By the 1700`s, The Spaniards were developing mines in Mexico, Bolivia and Peru. Argentina was named after Argentum, silver`s name in Latin. Aristotle advised Alexander the Great to store his water in silver containers to prevent the growth of bacteria and disease. There are many languages in the world today where the words silver and money mean the same. Silver has proven itself to be irreplaceable in industry and technology. Silver is heavily mined in many Latin American Countries as well as China and Turkey.

Throughout history silver bullion coins have been used for trade and barter. Today, 1 oz silver coins are the first choice for the many investors looking for financial security with a lower price per ounce than other precious metals.Silver bullion coins have very little collector value, and are more attractive to investors who seek the safety that silver coins provides. These types of silver coins usually have a face value worth much less than the coins true value. The true value of these coins is determined by its silver bullion content. When you purchase a 1 oz silver coin, whether online or face to face from a dealer, you are investing in the weight of silver, not the face value stamped on the coin Pure silver bullion coins are most common in the 1 oz. size. The United States Mint, Royal Canadian Mint and the Austrian Mint, produce some of the most popular 1 oz silver bullion coins in the world.Silver coins that have collector value usually have a premium above and beyond the actual silver content. These types of coins have numismatic value usually because of their age. When considering the purchase of any numismatic silver coin, we highly recommend that you only purchase 1 oz silver coins that have been graded by a third party grading service. Silver coins graded by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) or NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), are usually the best for determining value of a silver coin you are considering purchasing.

World silver inventories are at their lowest levels in 250 years. Because global silver consumption is at an all time high, the USGS has predicted that silver could become nearly extinct in 10 years. With unprecedented demand and a well documented potential supply problem, the sky seems to be the limit for silver. Once you secure a private physical position in silver you not only have financial security, you may have the opportunity to experience growth never before seen

Prior to 1965, coins minted by the United States Mint contained 90% silver. A junk silver bag is any combination of dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars with $1000.00 face value. Junk silver bags consist only of silver coins minted before 1965 and thus contain 90% silver. For example, 5000 90% silver dimes and 2000 90% silver quarters would be the equivalence of $1000.00 face value, and would be considered a junk silver full bag.
