Is silver a good investment?
With the continued devaluation of the dollar resulting in the rise of precious metals prices, I'm considering purchasing some silver to act as a hedge to preserve my own buying power. I chose silver over gold because it's cheaper and also actually is more scarce than gold, since gold is bought and hoarded while silver is bought & consumed (for electronics and other industrial uses). Is this a good investment? If I invest, it will be in physical bullion, probably in pre-1964 silver US coins, which have 90% silver content.
