Types of Silver
Silver, like Gold, comes in various different forms for investment.
Some
of the most popular types are below:
Modern bullion coins and bars
Modern bullion coins allow investors to own investment-grade silver legal tender coins at a small premium to the spot price of silver as quoted on the markets. The value of bullion coins and bars is determined almost solely by the price of silver, and thus follows the bullion price.
Semi-numismatic and numismatic gold coins
Numismatic or older and rare coins are bought not solely for their precious metal content, but also for their rarity and their historical, aesthetic appeal. They are leveraged to the silver price, which means that the price of these coins will generally increase faster than the silver price in a bull market and will decrease by more when silver is in a bear market.

FAQ
Does the face value of a silver coin affect its worth?
Silver coins generally carry a small face value making them legal tender in their respective country of origin. That said, legal tender silver coins are generally priced based on their silver content. Although silver coins may be legal tender, they are not typically used in day to day transactions as typically their precious metal content value is far greater than their legal tender face value.
How often do spot silver prices change?
The price of silver is constantly changing. The spot price of silver changes every few seconds during market hours. Between domestic and foreign exchanges, spot silver prices update Sunday through Friday, from 6PM EST to 5:15PM EST each day. Spot prices remain static during that 45 minute down period from 5:15PM EST to 6PM EST each weekday, as well as from 5:15PM EST on Friday until 6PM EST on Sunday. Although silver and other markets may have periods in which they are very quiet, they also have periods in which prices change very rapidly.
