Gold or silver

Have $350 reward points from eBay, my budget is about $2000 ,on the fence whether to buy gold or silver,not picky about what I buy since I stack both, in all denominations, weight, sizes,etc. What would you buy considering spot price and current environment.Thanks

    I'd go for a nice $10 Indian 64-65ish or maybe a raw $10 eagle and a couple 1/10 AGEs.

    If you want low premium, maybe try some European 20FCs. Those Mexican 20 Pesos with the Aztec calendar on the reverse are pretty cool too. RGDS!

    Half oz gold eagle and the rest in bullion rounds. Don't pay the premium on the silver eagles.

    Silver has more potential right now. 90% silver US coinage.

    I'd build my nest egg and be ready for a good dip.

    Just my opinion.

    Gold. Coins not bars, Krugerrand, American Eagle, Maple leaf.
    Silver is a bad investment.

    The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.

    he mentioned he is a stacker, which means he's probably buying for the long haul and not buying an investment. Silver is the best bet for the intermediate/long haul.

    My term life insurance is not an investment, it is protection for my survivors. PMs are dollar insurance to many of us here who understand that they are not that good of an investment except when one is investing in the value of his/her future money.

    Ten ounce silver bar with your $350. Raise your limit to 2.5k, maybe you wait a week or so, and go for the Costco AGE/BUFF provided you get the 2%+2%.

    The problem with that is it gets hard to stack at some point. I have 10K+ OZ's of silver and it takes up quite a bit - 2 large safes. Gold worth the same I can carry in two hands.
