The intention of the Silver News site is to provide resources and information to help you structure a good knowledge base for silver as it relates to a long term savings and/or collecting plans.

Like most of the world, traditional long term savings have taken a terrible hit.  All the time tested strategies were proving to be not so sound.  Financial security was being pushed to the limits. What was the right formula to get back on track.  People were spending countless hours trying to locate information that could help make decisions.  It seemed than no one person had the answer, but there were many, many places to find terrific information.

Then it hit!  There needs to be a place where someone can go to find answers or at the very least a place where they can find information or even share information.  We will continue to find new information to share.  Keep checking back often.

On this note, I would like to credit the persons whose knowledge and writings about this topic have been shared with me over the years.  One person can not do it all.

Individual authors like Ted Butler, David Morgan, Dave Harper,  Dr. Jeff Lewis and Howard Ruff are renown experts in their own right and each offer perspectives to help one understand this diverse topic.  There are also many Mints, collector groups, clubs and organizations, too numerous to mention, deserve a big shout out as they continue to offer a diverse range of products and assistance to help customers and collectors alike continue their passion.

Additionally, the technical knowledge that allows me to share information does not come without much time being spent learning this new medium.

A special thanks goes to all the individual coin dealers who spend countless hours at weekend shows showing their collections and offering time learned lessons for collectors. My gratitude goes to all specialized instructors, for their generous gifts of sharing the information printed here.  Finally, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes out to my personal friends and associates, whose insights on marketing silver are withstanding the changing habits of today’s metals buyers.
