Silver Kicks Into a Higher Gear
For quite a period of time, silver underperformed gold. The gold to silver ratio, a calculation that basically shows the relative strength of the two metals, continued to soar well outside its historic range to as high as 131:1.

Why Would Anyone Want Junk Silver Coins?
Prior to 1965, the United States minted silver coins to be used as money. They are commonly referred to as “junk” silver or 90%. They are called junk silver because they were used in circulation and have no collector value. A “bag” or $1,000 face has about 715 ounces of … Readmore
Is Silver About To Get With The Program?
