Investors like to buy silver to hedge against inflation. Silver has a lower price point than gold so you can buy more of it and it is more affordable to more people. Savvy investors know that you want quality silver in a form that is easily stored. Silver bars are convenient because you can put them inside of a cabinet or lock them away in a safe because they stack easily. With coins, you can stack them but they can fall over and make a mess all over.
The 1971-1991 Canadian 50% Silver Dollar coin offers another option to buy silver at a lower price point than 1 oz silver coins as these coins are 50% silver. These are beautifully designed coins and would look great in your collection. Get yours today.
