The Valcambi combibars may be a cute gimmick, but they're overpriced up to a level that I find unacceptable. I was at a LCS yesterday and the bottom of the
generic silver box was littered with about 3 dozen of those tiny little 1gr silver bars flakes that I could have grabbed for $1.50 over spot. They were so small
that I had trouble reading the maker's name with a loupe. I left them where they were, but I was happy to take the five J-M 5gr bars that were also there.

On the bigger coins... I like them, they're nice works of metalworking art, etc, but... Most of them carry too heavy a premium for my taste. The ATB's aren't
too bad, but I'd like to have a 5oz or kilo silver Libertad. Sadly, I just can't swallow the premiums on those. The $8/oz premium for the 5oz Lib is harsh, but
$23/oz for the kilo Lib is insane.

@Fat Freddy Ya the 1 gr combibars are a tad small, agree with you there.

@barryg Good point so best is to save only bullion from the country you live in if that's is a worry for people.I mostly have Maple leafs as I am from Canada, but I have a few Libertads and ASEs .
I also stack to have something in retirement plus for a possible dollar collapse or what have you. I don't stack to resell every month with the highs and lows.

For 5oz coin fans -- APMEX just announced their 2010-2012 5oz ATB 15-coin set in a traditional, glass-topped 5-level wooden display case. $3,335 and you're off to the races!
