Based upon long term economic value, silver seems a little high, blindly looking at the data I would have guessed a $20-25 value today. Not saying today is overvalued, or it cannot go up more, just that not enough of a buy for me to label it a purchase point. I looked at it the same way in the early 90's when I bought most of my silver, and thought then it was a good long term buy. Gold to me looks about right from 100 years of data adjusting for inflation. Both are good hedges in portfolios, but too risky to be too large a percentage of your overall assets.

Above 20% of all assets and I would be concerned. Just some thought, and I am sure over in the bullion forum I would be labelled a crackpot and dead wrong. :) I personally own more silver than gold, but at this point I am thinking of adding a little more gold, since my other assets have grown. Edit: having said all of that, if you buy common coins for silver value, then you are also getting the value of the hobby as a "return".
