Online vs. Local Silver Buying

Physical silver investors have two primary outlets for purchasing silver bullion - online options and offline options. Online options include eBay, Craigslist, as well as online silver retail websites. Local options include pawn shops, coin shops, coin shows, and estate sales. We typically advocate buying your silver bullion online from reputable silver retailers, as not only will you find the widest selection of silver and the lowest prices, but you also can track prices and shop from the convenience of your home.


Types of Silver

After choosing where you will buy your silver, your next decision is which type of physical silver to purchase. There are numerous types of physical silver bullion, including bars, coins, rounds, junk silver, and more. Each form has its own advantages and disadvantages, and we have an entire guide dedicated to educating you on each physical form of silver and which type best suits your investment needs and goals. Click any of the buttons below to learn more.

How to Buy Silver

Besides just the types of physical silver bullion listed above, investors can also gain exposure to the price of silver without ever taking actual delivery of the product. Any non-physical form of investment is referred to as a "paper" investment, which includes silver exchange traded funds, silver futures contracts, silver on account, silver mining stocks, and more. Depending on your investment goals, you may be better off taking delivery of physical, or you may be better off using a paper alternative. Read through our site to learn about the various ways to buy silver, and the advantages and disadvantages of each investment.
