Silver coins are the oldest mass-produced currency and have been used since the times of the ancient Greeks or ancient Persians since 612 BC. To determine the value of silver coins there are many factors like rarity, condition, demand, and the number of mintage.
While silver bullion price depends on the market price, silver coins have additional - numismatic value. If we compare silver market price versus silver coins, the value of the silver coin grows faster even if the silver price goes down. That's why coins made from precious metals are much more suitable for investment purposes.
