Of course this is pretty generally true of the commodities
market. A good place for amateur investors to lose their shirts.
Once upon a time the largest purchaser of silver other than
the U.S.Government was Kodak. This was back in the days when the
Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market and failed,
losing much of their fortune and I think doing some jail time.

A web search should show the value of silver these days.
Here is a web site that can get you the spot price of silver.

It supposes at least 99.9% pure silver; large purchasers, such as China
and India, want 99.99% pure stuff. And bear in mind you cannot get the
spot price of silver. In small quantities, expect to pay a 10% to 25%
premium. For larger quantities (tons), expect to pay 100% premium, if
you can find it at all. And of course you could get only the bid price
for selling and only the ask price if you try so sell.
