Silver Investing Guide Welcomes You

If you are just starting out on your silver investments in 2026 or simply want to find out more about buying and selling silver, you will find useful information on this site.

Investing in silver isn't that difficult with the "right" information. My goal is to provide you with that information with a series of useful articles on various silver coins, silver bars and related topics.

I want you to benefit from my previous experience in selling silver and gold for one of the oldest and most reputable precious metals dealers in the U.S. Just keep in mind that only you can decide if investing in silver is right for you. I take no responsibility for whatever silver purchases you make.

Riding The Silver Rollercoaster

Was I ever wrong in thinking that silver would wait to make its big moves until 2026. After reaching an all time high of $54.11 on October 16th, I expected a break through the end of the year never imagining the wild ride in store the last remaining weeks of 2025. When I first started selling precious metals for a large mid-west dealer many years ago, silver was selling for less than $7 an ounce. On Friday, December 26th, silver closed with a gain of over $7 (approximately $7.43)! On Monday, December 29th, silver lost over $7 intra-day. I never thought I would see action like this.

The spot price of silver started 2025 at $28.26 and ended the year at $71.545. That, dear reader, is a gain of almost 150%! Although the price of silver was in the low $80s for a short time, the actual closing high for the year was $79.27. Regarding future moves in silver prices, we are witnessing a tug-of-war going on between the parties that have kept the prices down for decades versus powerful players located half way around the world. Predictions of $100 silver in 2026 are being forecast. I would not be shocked to see it.

At some point you will have to decide when it is time for you to take some profits. It may be when you have to sell to cover some emergency situation or pay for unexpected expenses. Or it may be when you want to convert to another asset such as real estate or maybe a good used automobile. If neither of those apply, I don't recommend just cashing out unless you are creating a 3 month or 6 month emergency fund. The beauty of most silver coins/bars is they are easy to sell. As far as who to sell to, I list several parties of who (and who not) to sell to in the books I have authored (shown below).

In the section below you will find information on a popular silver coin. There will be a different coin featured on an irregular basis and they will include common, relatively inexpensive coins as well as those enjoying a higher rarity and higher price. I hope it helps with your investment decisions.

The 1922 Peace Silver Dollar

1922 was first full year that Peace dollars were minted for circulation having first been struck in December of 1921. Introduced as a peace commemorative coin, they were to replace the popular Morgan silver dollar. Approximately 190,577,000 Peace silver dollars were minted during their 10 years of production (1921-1928 and 1934-1935).

Three U.S. Mints produced 84,275,000 Peace dollars bearing the 1922 date: Philadelphia topped the list with 51,737,000; San Francisco added 17,475,000; and Denver struck 15,063,000 dollars. 1922 is the most common date for Peace silver dollars. Despite what some shady dealers would have you believe they are not rare and do not have great value except in very special cases. You should be able to pick up a nice circulated Peace dollar (containing .7650 ounces of silver unless well worn) for about $30 to $35 and some uncirculated Peace dollars (containing .77344 ounces of silver) for not much more if you shop around.
