Why physical, not paper?
A silver ETF isn't silver — you own a paper claim. Physical silver trades in a different market: industry has been short of it for six straight years (solar panels, EVs, and electronics all need more each year), and a coin in your hand is real liquidity that doesn't sit on any bank's balance sheet.
- A tangible asset — you own the metal itself, not a claim on a fund.
- Captures premium over spot at sale — you hold the physical metal the world desperately needs.
- Held outside the banking system — no broker, no custodian, no liens, no counterparty risk.
