Silver Purchase Formats

There are a number of physical formats you can consider when buying silver:


  • Silver Coins: Some coins have a "rarity" component associated with them that can add to their value. Coins are a great option but avoid purchasing based on rarity unless you really know what you're doing
  • Silver Jewelry: Investing in jewelry is another option. You'll take craftsmansip, design, and purity into account when valuing these items.
  • Silver Bars: Bars are typically quite pure, and stamped with the name of the production refinery. Value is directly aligned to the amount of metal in the bar.
  • Silver ETFs: These are funds designed to follow the spot price of silver. It doesn't mean you own anything physically, and isn't an effective hedge against total system collapse (but can be a good investment vehicle for some).

Tips For Buying Silver In California

Know And Comply With The Law

It's important to comply with the law when it comes to buying silver, and knowing what they are goes a long way.


Under a certain dollar amount, there's no need to declare (which may be attractive to some), but once you hit a threshold you will need to (and should) declare your holdings.

Keep Some Silver Nearby - But Not Too Much

Governments around the world have seized noble metals from time to time, so keeping your entire stash locally could be a bad idea depending on where you live.


Safe jurisdictions like Switzerland should be considered when you get to the point of holding a significant (tens of thousands of dollars worth generally) amount.

Don't Buy Silver On Credit

Buying silver on credit or speculating on the future price can lead to getting yourself in a significant financial jam.


Instead, put some money to the side that you're sure you're not going to need in a short time horizon, and use that to invest.

Stay Liquid

Having liquid silver on-hand and ready in the event of a crisis is the best hedge. Being invested in silver ETFs is fine depending on your objectives, but if you're truly hedging against unforeseen market collapses, you want physical metal in your possession.
