Apmex is currently selling Sae for $222.99 for 10 and 2014 Gold eagles for $1335, that's close to $1300 after CC rewards that's a good price IMO. The silver I'm not sure about anymore. I think silver at $19.50 per is undervalued but it may stay that way for a few years. Gold will always have increasing value IMO. Plus I love the ability of having $1300 in cash basically and it takes up no space really. Good luck all
Space IS a consideration. $1000 face in silver coins weighs about 67 pounds and pretty much fills up a 5x10 safety deposit box. On the other hand, I believe that silver will double well before gold does. It's a game of percentages, not absolutes.
