Before deciding whether to invest in gold or silver, one should first note the different investment vehicles available. These are • Coins • Bars • Certificates • and various funds and stocks, i.e., mining.

While owning gold or silver certificates or stock is widely advertised, nothing compares or is safer than having the actual gold or silver you own in hand.

With both gold and silver prices continuing to rise, and both being an effective hedge against inflation, there are some that say silver is a more economical investment over gold for those of modest means.
