What to know before buying silver coins?

Before making your first silver coin purchase, it's wise to familiarise yourself with key factors such as purity and weight. These elements play a pivotal role in shaping your investment's value and potential.

• Purity matters: pay attention to silver's purity. Look for coins with a high silver content, such as 999 fine silver coins.
• Weighty decisions: different coins come in different weights. Choose a weight that fits your budget and investment goals.
• Designs with flair: silver coins can be like miniature works of art. Explore various designs, from popular culture to history. More fanciful or rare designs often serve as collector's items as well as investments.
• Price watch: keep an eye on the silver price. Like all savvy investors, stay in the loop with market trends. This way, you can try to buy at the most opportune time. Of course, it’s famously tricky to time it, so you also may not want to endlessly wait, chasing ever-lower prices.
• Storage solution: properly store your silver coins in a secure and dry environment. A secure storage solution like ours ensures their longevity and safety.

Silver coins to protect your assets

Coins offer a tangible form of wealth that can be relatively quickly liquidated when needed. In times of economic uncertainty, silver coins can also act as a reliable hedge against inflation and help to protect your assets.

Historically they have low sensitivity to other markets, meaning they can be useful for diversification and risk management when it comes to investing.

Silver coins to protect your investment portfolio

Precious metals, including silver, are a widely accepted counterbalance to stocks and bonds investment. Having investments in multiple commodities can help secure your assets even in volatile markets. This is known as diversifying your investment portfolio, and it can help minimise some of the risks that may be associated with investing

Modern silver coins and historical silver coins: what are the differences?

Investors have two choices when it comes to silver coins.

Opt for newly minted coins with modern designs, boasting impeccable condition and vibrant details. Alternatively, historical silver coins, bearing the marks of time and usage, serve as charming relics with intricate engravings—a living time capsule from bygone eras.

Here are some key differences between modern silver coins and historical silver coins:

• Legal tender: modern silver coins are typically legal tender in the country of issue, while historical silver coins may no longer be legal tender.
• Rarity: some historical silver coins are rarer than modern silver coins, and may be more valuable as a result.
• Condition: historical silver coins can vary in condition, from mint to heavily worn. The condition of a historical silver coin can have a significant impact on its value.
• Historical significance: some historical silver coins are more valuable due to their historical significance. For example, a silver coin that was minted during a major historical event may be more valuable than a silver coin that was minted during a more peaceful time.

How to choose between buying silver coins or other physical silver products?

Silver coins are a popular and accessible way to buy silver. But they are not the only option. There are different forms that silver is available in, including silver bars.

However, there are certain advantages to investing in silver coins instead of bars:

• Divisibility – because coins weigh less than bars, you have more flexibility to liquidate smaller amounts, so it’s worth deciding if that’s important to you.
• Tax – coins that are classed as legal tender can be exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). For example, coins that are considered legal tender in the UK are typically exempt from CGT. This includes British silver Britannia coins and certain European silver coins.
• Price – the lighter weight of coins means that they can be cheaper to buy than bars. So for smaller silver investments or if you are just starting out in precious metals investing, coins are a good choice.

Which type of silver product you choose will depend on which suits your investment goals best. But, with so many choices, you're bound to find the perfect silver piece to sail into your investment portfolio.

Protecting and storing your silver coins securely

Safeguarding your precious trove of silver coins is as crucial as guarding a buried chest of doubloons. Proper storage isn't just about safety — it can even add some extra shine to your coins' value too.

You'll need to keep your silver coins in a cool and dry environment with low humidity to prevent any tarnishing. Individual capsules or coin holders can help defend against scratches and nicks.

How to sell your silver coins?

If you decide to cash in on your investment, you'll need to be aware of what's happening in the precious metals market. Here are some key tips to consider when it’s time to sell:

• Follow the silver price
• Don't forget that authenticity certificates and a well-documented history will add credibility to your sale.
