C. Then, enter the silver price. This could be several possible prices; current price, future price, past price or just the silver price you think it might be.
Calculate ROI (return of investment)
As a new investor you might be interested in doing all three prices. For example, you collected all your actual coins last year and want to know how much the value was at that time, so enter the average silver price last year. Next, do the same with the same coins, now with current price, and finally enter the future prediction price. Compare all these three values and calculate the ROI and the future ROI should you hold onto your silver us coins.
