Naturally occurring silver is composed of the two stable isotopes 107Ag and 109Ag with 107Ag being the more abundant (51.839% natural abundance).
Silver forms the most light-sensitive salts, or halides, which are essential ... There are 25 isotopes of silver with atomic masses ranging from 102 to 117

It depends on how many neutrons silver can hold. Silver is defined by the number of protons. It can have different numbers of neutrons and each variance is another isotope. At some point the number of neutrons will make it radio active and unstable which is also a redundancy.

Silver exists in two stable isotopic forms (called 107 and 109 because of their atomic masses). Nine other common isotopes are known, with half-lives from 24.6 seconds to 130 years.
If you wish to include all isotopes and isomers (including metastable ones) the total number is 71. See the second site below:
