Silver Price per Ounce
The silver price per ounce began to climb around 2006, and over the next few years went from under 10 per ounce to around 20 per ounce in 2008. As the financial crises of 2008/2009 got underway, silver prices per ounce began to climb rapidly, eventually rising to nearly 50 per ounce in 2011. Silver prices eventually came back down, however, bottoming out in 2016 at less than 14 per ounce. The price of silver since that time has been oscillating between about 15 and 20 per ounce.
