One if the great things about investing in precious metals is that you can diversify your investments to meet your own personal interest. In our opinion investing in metals is much more exciting than stocks, bonds, etc., because you get something physical in return for your investment.

You can purchase bullion and/or junk silver, whose prices are completely tied to the spot price of silver. Or you can go on the complete opposite end of the spectrum and invest in coins with numistic value, that is value associated with their collectibility/rarity, rather than just their intrinsic metal content.
