[QUOTE="happydaze88, post: 1313180, member: 34494"]You might consider buying gold or silver in a form that takes advantage of BOTH numismatic AND bullion pricing advantages, such as American Eagles or Canadian Maples. Both have numismatic value, since they are coins minted by governments and have legal tender status. Both have bullion value since they are usually either .999 pure (silver Eagles) or .9999 pure (silver Maples) and .9167 pure (gold Eagles) or .9999 pure (gold Maples). As for which, well depends on your stomach for volatility and how much storage room you have: a-Silver is more volatile (small % price fluctuations can more greatly affect the value of your overall investment) and will require more storage space. b-Gold is slightly less volatile, and requires much less storage space. But, you dont have as much upside potential as with silver. Just things to consider. Ultimately, you should do what makes you the most comfortable with the amount of risk that you are willing to take. Good luck!!! :)[/QUOTE]
