Yes, it is a metal and can exist in pure form easily. However it is often alloyed (mixed) with other metals to make it harder or stiffer (or simply cheaper since silver is expensive). Silver also tarnishes (the surface combines with oxygen and other substances) so the surface may not look pure but the inside would still be pure.
