Silver historical data download in 5 easy steps
One of
the most complete set of silver's historical data can be downloaded
from Stooq.com. Stooq.com's data of silver goes back until 1792 (!).
Of course you can not await full EOD data for the 18th century, but
it is still quite interesting...
Stooq.com
is a Polish website, but some parts of it is transleted into English.
Do not be afraid of it, you can download silver data without knowing
anything about Polish language! (You can also try using Google
translate. Google Chrome will offer automatic translation as soon as
you visit Stooq.com.)
Alternatively, you can check out silver's 5 year charts.

If
data file is automatically opened with MS Excel or similar software
(eg.: Libre Office Calc), it may cause problems when loading data
file into a particular analysis software. In this case you should
right-click on "Download

(like in Step 3) and choose Save as file... or similar in the context
menu (depending on your browser).

analyze this data using eg.: Chartoasis Sesame or this free technicalanalysis software.
