Hey mate, I'm happy to answer.
With silver I work on a per ounce cost generally trying to maximise the value. I have one kilogram bars which make the best sense because one gets a little extra value but also one, two and ten ounce coins as well. The ten ounce coins are awesome by the way; big and chunky.
Having said that, I like to have diversity because in the advent of needing to offload some quickly it may work out better to have some smaller weights. I have some special coins too, collector ones, but often one can buy three-four normal one ounce coins for the price of a one ounce novelty coin so I try not to waste money on the novelty ones. (I say try...Sometimes I try and fail. 😉)
With gold I generally work on ounce and half ounce weights and there's a mix of coins and carded bars.
That's interesting. I never got into precious metals really but I can see the value in them. The coins would be cool. That's would be a neat collection to have. It's nice to get some aesthetic enjoyment out of an investment as well.
There's something very satisfying about the clinking of precious metal coins...It makes me feel like a pirate. I don't mean one of those modern day assholes though, I mean the swashbuckling kind from yesteryear with a parrot on the shoulder.
Haha yeah. I can see that lol 😆
