Silver Coins and Bullion

OK, I know it's a gold coin investing blog, but with silver flying up at just under $30 an ounce, you really need to take a look at silver and make it part of your investment portfolio. Here is a quick list of the newest silver coins available now.

Canada has a couple of coins available to investors. First up is the 2011 Silver Wolf, a one ounce coin made from .9999 pure silver and part of the "Wildlife Series". These coins will have a low mintage and as part of a three year set, will be popular with collectors and investors alike. Don't wait on this one or you'll see the price rising.

Canada also has the 1 ounce 2011 Maple Leaf, minted from .9999 silver. Recognized the world over and a great quality coin, the Maple Leaf is one of the most popular and reasonably priced of the world's silver investment coins. APMEX has these priced as low as $2.49 over spot.

The United States Mint has produced the 2011 Silver American Eagle, now on sale from mint authorized dealers and expected to ship by January 14. The Eagle is one ounce and made from .999 silver. This year is expected to have a low allocation, and the mint may have problems keeping up with demand. Buy these early and you will save on the premium these will demand later on.

There are many dealers to buy silver from...I've been buying from APMEX as I've found their prices and service to be top notch. When I found they offered an affiliate program, I joined right away, so I could offer their products to my readers. For other gold and silver coins and bullion, check out Gold Coins Investments.
