DickQ,

Welcome to the forum! You posed an excellent question.

If we knew for a fact that silver prices would go down within a certain time period, I'd say sell, but there's no guarantee that will happen. It's possible that for the next 50 years silver will stay at an all-time high. Then again, it's also possible that silver will drop to record lows next week. The real issue is trying to time the market, and just like in the stock or housing market, no one knows what's going to happen. It's always a bit of a gamble when you make a transaction, but most people tend to do better when they ride out the market for the long term, staying in it for the whole ride. Trying to time it just right is very difficult.

My recommendation is to hold onto the silver unless you need to cash out or you have a better investment. One question to consider is what you would do with the money if you were to sell your collection. If it's going to sit around doing nothing, then you're better off keeping the silver.

Hope that helps.
