Investment in silver and gold has a long history in Colorado. Much of Colorado was settled by those who had initially planned to travel all the way west during the California Gold Rush. Gold was first discovered here in 1858.
In the 1870s, rich silver veins were discovered here; silver mining would remain a major industry in Colorado through the 1890s. Today, Colorado’s lack of sales taxes makes it an attractive destination for those looking to buy gold or silver coins and bullion.
