Silver price FAQ

Why is silver so much cheaper than gold?
Silver is far more abundant than gold, and a large share of its demand is industrial — electronics, solar panels, medicine. That combination makes it cheaper per gram and typically more volatile. Many investors track the gold-to-silver ratio (how many ounces of silver one ounce of gold buys) to judge which metal looks relatively cheap.
What's the difference between 999 and 925 silver?
999 "fine" silver is 99.9% pure — that's bullion bars and most coins. 925 "sterling" is 92.5% silver alloyed with copper for durability, standard for jewelry. Sterling's metal value is 92.5% of the fine-silver price; jewelers add making charges on top.
Is silver a good investment?
Silver behaves partly like a precious metal and partly like an industrial commodity, so it tends to swing harder than gold in both directions. Many people hold it alongside gold for diversification. Watching the chart and setting an alert at your target price beats buying on impulse — GoldSignal does both for free.
