Advice needed on buying silver

[uks]

We silver a load of silver but we went down the lane of buying things that we could use in our lives I.E. silver photo frames, candle sticks, cutlery etc. This would be melted down if we were to need it in a situation. This way we feel we have the best of both worlds something that is practical and worth something if we needed it.
Just my point of view for what its worth.
