The st. Gauden would be spot + 5% for the 1924 my local dealer has one so closer to 1700$ but I thought of putting it up there

I voted for 20 oz + 1/2 oz Gold. I always like coming out with both metals (if I can afford to). You can't go wrong with the purity found in a gold maple. A 1/2 ounce gold maple is a nice piece to hold.

Gotcha!
Personally I think it's more impressive to say you have a kilo silver bar than a 1/2 ozt of Au - kind of like the way girls boast about their carats and not their points.

10 = 1/10 oz
20 = 1/4 oz
100 = 1 oz

My sugestion is to take sort of a numismatic approach to your $1500 to spend and split between Fine, 90%, and 80%. If you have not obtained the coins described thusly, buy them: Buy one each of an ASE, a Maple, a Philharmonic from your birth-year and/or that of any/all child relatives of yours. Take your birth-year, subtract 100 from it, and buy the Morgan set from that year. Using the birthyears of your favorite relatives that were born in the eras of US/Canadian silver circulating coin, Buy an equal number of all available denominations of US and Canadian silver coin for that year that you can get for spot. |

#2 is the best. Best of both worlds, you get silver and gold

I say buy a set of either the 2010 or 2011 America the Beautiful 5 oz silver pucks. You could get them raw and get nice air tites for them then save the rest to roll over into your next purchase or see if you can get them in slabs for a decent price (not sure what they go for slabbed). If the ATB coins aren't your thing then maybe an Australian 1 kilo Kook or Koala (personally I like the Koala). |

I picked the first one. I like the look of the "old pours" I think silver will be going up by years end. John1  |

I do not like ATB's because they are seen as numismatic pieces and there is an oversupply of them at the US Mint (according to several posts and stories read online). Eventually, the Overstock of ATB's could be released a few years from now, when silver is lower, causing the value of your ATB's to drop!  |

Could you link a story of the ATB 5 oz silver being over stocked at the mint? I was under the impression the first 2 years were very low mintages. I think this year they have been minting to order but very few people have grasped the opportunity and everything I've seen has speculated that they may even cease future years' productions. |

I chose the St Gaudens! Somebody might as well get one since it is out of my price range.
