Secure Your Wealth with Sliver

Invest in Gold with Prime Precious Metal and Secure Your Future

 

There are many reasons that investors (beginners and experts) immediately choose to buy silver more than any other precious metal. For beginners, when the Price of silver per ounce is so much lower than the Gold price, platinum, and palladium, they realize they can buy substantially more physical metal for their dollar. With its much lower price, buying silver bullion is much more appealing to small or novice investors.

Since this market is small and there is a high use of financial leverage on the trading exchanges, silver prices are volatile. But its role as both a monetary and investment metal and a vital industrial metal make it an exciting commodity. We believe the supply and demand picture is extraordinarily bullish.



Our Silver Forecast is Bullish


Historical precedent coupled with current fundamentals point to the likelihood of an explosive super spike in the silver price and a high price plateau beyond that. In the last super spike in 1979, the white metal went from $6 per ounce, to over $49 just 12 months later. In other words, that's an incredible 700% upsurge over the course of a single year! Today, industrial demand will continually increase along with its investment benefits. These factors will cause the price of silver per ounce to reach new highs, or possibly another huge spike similar to 1980. Let's look at additional factors why we're bullish on the poor man's gold:



U.S. Debt Level Reaching Tipping Point


The U.S. is reaching record highs in debt and the tipping point may come sooner than later. In 1980, the national debt was a mere $930 billion. Today, it's over $18 trillion officially, with tens of trillions more in "off budget" debts and obligations accumulated in the last 40 years. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet now tops $4 trillion, with no end in sight to ultra-accommodative policies.




Above Ground Silver Inventories Are Diminishing


In 1980, available above ground stockpiles were estimated to be 4 billion ounces. Today, many estimate these stocks at less than 1 billion ounces. And annual consumption has exceeded supply in many years. As industry finds new ways to use silver, the market could experience a long-term supply deficit, and inventory depletion would then accelerate.


 


Silver Mining Production Appears to be Reaching Its Peak


There may be 18 billion ounces of extractable silver left according to the U.S. Geological Survey. If this is indeed the case, there won't be enough supply left due to the steady increase in demand. Just last year, the demand rose to a record 1,081 million ounces according to The Silver Institute's World Silver Survey 2014. While the demand rises, production has increased less rapidly. So not only are we running out, the supply is diminishing faster than ever.




Global Silver Demand is High and Getting Higher


Considering the record growth in demand last year, all signs are pointing to a continuous increase. In 1980, the world population was 4.6 billion. We've since added another 2.5 billion people. Silver is required in a multitude of industrial, electrical, consumer, health, and energy-related applications critical to today's modern economy. (It is the world's best conductor of electricity and heat, best natural biocide, and best reflector of light.)

Silver as an Investment

Is silver a good investment?

 Wise investors are buying silver to preserve their wealth for the future. The white metal has become a viable part of a robust investment profile. Precious metals such as gold bullion are used to accumulate wealth and hedge against inflation.

Discover the reasons to invest in silver and how this popular commodity can be purchased.


 

Why You Should Buy Silver


Silver is unique because it is considered both a commodity and currency, depending on how it is used. Precious metals, such as gold and palladium, can be purchased to guard against inflation. While any investment is a risk, silver has been used for centuries for a variety of purposes. Industries rely on it, making it a solid investment choice.

As a vital industrial and monetary metal, it has value around the world, regardless of economic conditions. It can be sold at current market prices as needed. As an investor in silver, buy it in basic forms such as bullion, bars, coins, and rounds to get the most silver for your dollar. Investors typically purchase it by weight, such as a troy ounce, pound, gram or kilo. It is priced by its weight in .999 fine silver. If an item contains lower purity levels, it may fetch slightly lower prices per troy ounce of the .999 silver it contains.



Silver Coins


Silver bullion coins are possibly the oldest type of coinage in history. The use of these coins for trade dates back to the drachma used during Greek times. A collector purchases coins as a hobby, and these coins may or may not have value. These world silver coins can include the Mexican Silver Libertad and the Chinese Silver Panda coin. Coins sold by weight are purchased to store financial value for the future.


 

Popular Silver Products

If you’re shopping for silver coins and bars, you’ll find a variety of options at Prime Precious Metals. We’re proud to be a reputable silver dealer that stocks the most coveted silver products from around the world, including rare collector’s pieces. Here’s a quick introduction to some of our best sellers.



Silver Bullion Coin


American Silver Eagle: Since its introduction in 1986, over 70 million American Silver Eagles have been purchased by savvy investors and collectors. In fact, demand for this iconic coin is so high that the United States Mint has had to suspend sales multiple times over the years.



Silver Bullion Bar


Royal Canadian Mint Bars: These bars are especially prized because of their exceptional purity. Although most silver coins and bars are .999 fine (99.9% pure), Royal Canadian Mint products are .9999 ultra-fine (99.99% pure). While the actual difference in silver content is extremely small, there’s a certain prestige that comes with owning the purest silver products on the market.



Silver Numismatics


1986 MS70 $1 American Silver Eagle: Owning an American Silver Eagle from the first year of release is a point of pride for many collectors, especially if the coin is in pristine MS70 condition. The NGC population only includes 2,368 of them; the PCGS population is just 1,346. We carry both NGC and PCGS variants, so you can procure yours from a reputable silver dealer.



Factors to Consider When Buying Silver Coins and Bars


Investing in silver is as simple as purchasing any other product, but proper planning will ensure the best results. Here are some important factors to keep in mind.



Your Outlook on Technology


Many Prime Precious Metal investors speculate that precious metal prices will jump significantly in the future due to rising industrial demand. This is especially true with silver.

Silver offers many of the same unique properties as the pricier precious metals, and it’s also the most electrically conductive of them all. If you foresee a bright future for silver in electronics, now is the time to buy before its spot price skyrockets.



Your Risk Tolerance


There’s no guarantee that the price of silver coins and bars will rise. While it’s true that it’s a finite resource with many industrial use cases, predicting the future is impossible.

Are you in a position to invest a significant amount of wealth into silver immediately, or should you dollar-cost average your investment over time? Your risk tolerance will play a major role in how you approach your investment.



Economic Speculation

People turn to precious metals as a safe haven during times of economic instability. Naturally, the price of silver tends to rise during these tumultuous periods. If you believe the economy is on a downward trajectory, you may want to buy silver coins and bars before prices rise. On the other hand, if you expect economic growth, you may want to wait for prices to come down.



Why Invest in Silver?


While silver is not likely to dethrone gold anytime soon, the precious metal does offer similar financial advantages. Mainly, silver is a dependable store of value, especially during uncertain economic conditions. Silver coins and bars are a time-tested hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, adding stability and protection to one’s financial portfolio.


As long as you buy from a reputable silver dealer, silver comes with very little risk and significant upside potential. In fact, silver has even outperformed gold during bull markets. Its relatively low price makes it more volatile than gold, so it has significant opportunities for short and long-term growth in the right market conditions.

Silver is a fantastic option for beginners looking to start investing in precious metals. But even seasoned investors keep it as a safe-haven asset.



Legal Aspects of Buying, Selling, and Owning Silver


Prime Precious Metal is a reputable silver dealer that will always go above and beyond to keep you informed. That includes the legal side of precious metals investing and ownership. Here are some quick facts you should know about as you plan your silver investment.

  • The amount of silver you can own legally is unlimited.

  • Sales taxes for silver coins and bars vary from state to state.

All numismatics are graded according to the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale by third-party grading services, such as the PCGS and NGC. The scale runs from 0-70 (70 is a perfect grade). Grading is based on the coin’s surface preservation, coloration, luster, strike, and overall eye appeal.
