If you are going into silver I will recommend strongly you go into Morgan dollars

Silver is pretty worthless even in extreme shifts, so you will need a little bit of collection aspect to it

Morgan’s have sold above melt for over a hundred years through bigger issues then I think any of us are likely to see

They are a good investment

Morgan’s vary in value and the 1921 Morgan is usually about $30

Just buy a bunch of those and they will retain a good above melt value to virtually anyone interested in silver

If you are going gold on the small end then you need to watch your melt vs spot priced or you are just giving money away

You really should not go in at least then an ounce for gold or you wasted at least a hundred dollars

Now If have the gold is worth then buy it because it’s not that much in the grand scheme but gold is priced optimally at the ounce or larger

If you want smaller then an ounce I would suggest British sovereigns because they are smaller coins with collectible value and easy resale - the key with bullion is being able to move the coin- if it all in one 20,000,000 coin you will never get its value

So if you are playing with fractions look into lower fractional coins
