The Case for Investing Now? Time to shine....
The 2018 1oz #steem round
As silver enjoys a small rally today, it’s a timely reminder of the upside potential this often-underrated metal holds. For those of us who stack precious metals, this rally isn't just a blip on the chart – it's a cue to look deeper into why silver deserves a spot in any investment portfolio.
Silver coins combine the tangible appeal of precious metals with the artistry of collectables, creating a perfect blend of beauty and financial sense. Here's why they're a standout choice:
- Affordable Entry Point: Unlike gold, silver is much more accessible for new investors. A modest budget can secure a decent stack.
- Tangible Value: There’s something satisfying about holding your investment. Silver coins are a real, physical asset that doesn't rely on digital ledgers or market whims.
- Liquidity and Demand: Silver coins are globally recognised and easily traded. Whether you're selling a single ounce or your entire stack, there's always a buyer.
- Collectable Appeal: Limited mintage, historical significance, and unique designs can add a premium value beyond the silver content itself.
For UK investors like me, silver coins such as Silver Britannias offer an additional bonus: Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exemption. As UK legal tender, any profit made from selling these coins is tax-free. This is a significant advantage, especially as silver prices rise, allowing you to maximise your returns without worrying about HMRC taking a slice.

What makes silver coins even more compelling is the ability to align financial goals with personal interests. Whether you’re drawn to stunning designs, historic themes, or the thrill of building a collection, silver coins provide both satisfaction and strategy.
By keeping your stack in good condition and diversifying your holdings, you can balance the joy of collecting with long-term wealth preservation.
