Your Opinion On Bullion Silver Eagles Vs Bars

Terrible advice yup7676, absolutely terrible!

Look at the gold/silver ratio now versus historically. There is nothing wrong with having some gold, but with this ratio silver is clearly a better buy.

Saying something doesn't make it true - crunch some numbers, at least try to back up your advice with facts.

As far as Eagles vs bars - with silver at these lows, why not get more silver instead of paying a premium? Never bad to have some variety, but I'd recommend spending most of what you want to spend on generic silver. Silver may double or triple in value over the next few years, the premium on Eagles will likely remain relatively static.

Hey yup, gold might be for another thread, but it's good that you bring it up. Silver gets NO respect and that's the way it's always been. But, for the sake of argument, playing devil's advocate and playing along with the question at hand, would you recommend gold eagles or gold bars?

(IMO bars always, less overhead and labor and not sentimental when selling or when melting

I can't understand who's buying gold with the prices rising so much and the currency I use is garbage now so that multiplies the effect. The premiums for silver here are pipe dreams - I wouldn't buy anything less than a 10 ounce bar unless the coin price was the same for 10.
