While gold is hotly sought after, silver has been the coin that has built empires and was often the coin of the common man. While the doubloons that we speak of were always of gold, it was the piece of eight that pirates sang about, and it was silver that brought the conquistadors to South America, even as they sought the city of gold. So it was that even today that silver coins are the common coin of the collector, especially the beginning collector. They are attractive, obtainable, and just as prone to increasing in value, making them an excellent foundation for any numismatist’s collection.
