Silver coins as savings and guard against inflation?

So, I have been checking out this silver stuff recently... I have a small collection of silver US coins (~10 dimes/quarters) that I just realized is worth like $50 just based on silver content.

There are tons of people buying silver coins at the current price (~$45/oz) on ebay, so It seems like this investment could be easily cashed in. And it seems like a precious metal is a much better way to store your savings than in paper money.

Gold is insanely high and has risen steeply in the last 10 years, will silver do the same?

YouTube - Gold & Silver-When To Sell? Real Estate-When To Buy? Mike Maloney This guy makes silver sound like a dream investment, but he is also a salesman so this should be watched with skepticism. However he's got me convinced.

This chart is kinda scary for a silver buyer because after a high peak like this it seems like the next step is a steep drop. so anyone have insight into this?
