Is troy ounce silver a good investment?

Is it worth putting a couple of bucks into silver?

Where is a good place to buy it online?

Years ago we just bought older silver dollars. They are 90% silver and if sh!t hits the fan you will have something to barter with.

I have bought stuff at apmex https://www.apmex.com/ No experience anywhere else.

Just my opinion and opinion of most financial people but gold and silver isn’t really a good “investment” its more of a hedge or store of $.

If worried about a major US economic collapse Id invest more into better things to barter or use like bullets and food. If worried that currency is going to go to absolute **** then the rest of society is going to go with it and those things will be of better use and trade than a chest full of gold.

That said I do have a bit as a hedge and to diversify a bit instead of just cash in the bank. Shiny stuff has never been worthless. I have some 90% silver quarters and dimes, and silver round bullion

Having SOME portion of your savings in Precious Metals is a very reasonable and prudent thing to do.
Physical Gold and Silver are good stores of value, but often times poor investments.
They hold their value over time, but frequently fail to Increase in value relative to the overall economic environment.

I'm shocked at the reasonable answers. Post #3 nails it though.

They say no more than 10% of portfolio in gold and silver. It’s more of a hedge than an investmen. It keeps up with inflation. Www.Bordergold.ca for purchasing.
Recommend to get 1oz rounds, new. You can sell them in small quantities and avoid taxes.

Cheapest Silver will be generic 1oz Rounds.
Most tradable/resellable will be US Silver Eagles.

I've invested HEAVILY into lead.

I’ve been talking with my partner about putting some of our savings into gold and silver – or other materials that will likely hold their value no matter what the stock market does and no matter what happens to US currency. Ideally we’d have some small pieces/coins easily accessible in case SHTF. Anyone do this or have suggestions for how to get started? Good resources to check out? Reputable sellers, etc.? I’m starting with very little knowledge.
