I’ve been asked this question a lot lately, so I thought I’d add some answers here. Silver and copper are two of the most common base metals on the market, and they are worth much more than many people realize. There are silver certificates, too, which are very similar to a silver coin. In fact, they are the same coin, but the value is slightly different, and you can get them as a paper certificate.
You can get a silver certificate for as low as $10, and platinum certificates are worth $100. They are the most valuable, but there are quite a few other metals you can use to make money, and just for funs sake, you can even make platinum as a moneymaking tool.
People have been making money by producing silver coins and certificates for centuries. In the early days of the gold standard, coins and certificates were in very low supply, so people were buying them from each other instead of spending them. The supply of silver coins and certificates skyrocketed during the Great Depression, and many people made lots of money that way. Some of it was used to pay for railroads, and other people used it to buy gold for their own use.
Today, silver coins and certificates are very plentiful, so they’re often sold at a premium. A recent story about the price of silver certificates showed one silver certificate for $15.90. This could be because more people are buying silver certificates for that reason. However, some silver certificates have even been forked over on eBay for $30. I’ve seen a couple of those, and while they are rare, they were actually for sale for $1.00 each.
It is worth noting that some of the most valuable silver certificates have been forked over for $30.00. Thats not so great. A new silver certificate is worth approximately 100 times as much as a $5.00 certificate.
The silver certificates are just one form of a much wider market of silver. There are many methods of acquiring silver (as well as other metals and other investments), so I don’t really see where one type of certificate is more valuable than another. I also don’t know if you can actually put down the silver certificate and walk away with it, so it might be worth asking if you’re interested in a certificate that has a value in excess of 30.00.
I have to admit, I was a little nervous seeing all the talk about silver certificates. I know that the fact that people are buying them doesn’t mean anything more than it sounds, but I have no idea which ones are worth what and what they’re worth.
I would personally go for the ones with a value in excess of $5, but you might have better luck searching for a certificate that’s valued at less than $5.00. I’ll bet that many of those “no value” certificates are actually counterfeits of real ones, and many of those “expensive” certificates may actually be worth more than $5.00. It all depends on which type of certificate you choose, and how accurate you decide to be.
It’s true that a genuine silver certificate might be worth more than $5.00, but that is also the amount that the real estate market has placed on it for the last 50 years. The only silver certificates that are worth more than 5.00 are the ones with an actual value of $5.00. Anything over 5.00 is fake, and anything under 5.00 is just an outright fraud.
Silver certificates are a good investment for those that value themselves in things silver and gold. They are also a good investment for those that value their money in things silver and gold, as the real estate market always has more silver and gold certificates than they can ever hope to use.
