Some people will tell you to just focus on bullion but I recommend buying some coins for numismatic value as well. The fact is silver is undervalued because it has under performed for years vs things like stonks or real estate due to the old monkey hammering of the paper futures contracts. Numerous banks have paid cost of doing business fines in the multi millions to keep silver suppressed. In this instance numismatic valued coins tend to perform well, as collectibles tend to track inflation. It is also fun to find the rarer coins in among general bullion or junk silver. Pre 1965 half dollars are 90% silver and can have additional value for collectors depending on condition and rarity. Be careful not to over pay on the premiums though. You will get more straight forward deals concentrating on bullion.
