How much is silver worth?

Silver prices fluctuate every day. But over the past 20 years, silver prices have traded from as low as $5 an ounce to a high of nearly $47 an ounce in 2011 before settling to around the $15-to-$20 mark since 2015.

Silver is an element found in the earth's crust. It's extracted from ore veins worldwide, with some of the largest mines in Australia, Mexico and Bolivia. It's purified through refinement, which separates impurities from the precious metal before distribution.
