I would say buy 1oz and 10oz silver bars. Back in the early 80's when gold peaked at $800 silver was $52. Today gold is at $1000+ and silver is at $17.
Gold is still a good buy is you want to tie up $1000+ in a 1oz coin but silver would be easier to liquidate in small increments should you need money.
Reminds me of my brother. Back in 1970 he got a large (then) check from GM. He wanted to buy gold. I bought him 1000 British sovereigns (.2354 oz of gold) for $11 each. Gold went up and he sold at $13 each and made a quick $2000. I told him to hold them till he retired but he wanted to sell. Well....he retired 2 weeks ago and that $11K investment in gold would be worth $235,400 today.
Pin this on your wall and look at it 20-30 years from now.
Not for the person that wants a QUICK turn on money but good long term advice. Buy Silver NOW...you'll be glad you did. Gold is still a good buy but silver has the high potential of gain.
