A better question is, should you buy silver? The answer is a resounding NO. It is a terrible investment right now, nowhere to go but down. You could end up with a 30% loss in the next couple of years that you will not get back perhaps for a decade or two.

Here's a long-term graph over time of the value of silver;

What on Earth makes you think ANY denomination would be a wise purchase?

Are you sure eBay is the best place to conduct this kind of business?

Over the summer holiday I am planning to earn as much money as I can from a site I use. What would be the best denominations of silver to buy? I will be buying from ebay...

1oz - Very high premium

10 oz - Medium premium, about ￡170-￡200 per bar

250g - ￡150

1KG - ￡470-￡500

I am mainly wondering whether to buy 250 gram bars and pay say an extra ￡100 for every kilo I buy or to just buy a big bar and not get enough money to buy it for a long time?
