56 ounces of silver or 1 ounce of gold.

Which is the smarter play?
Seems like my ounces of silver have a better chance of increasing in value but I like the ideal of making more room in the vault.

    Silver sounds good to me but not much room

    I like the way you think.

    Sounds like either way is fine with not much difference aside from space.

    I’d rather the gold.

    Alrighty, then thanks guys.
    That takes a shoebox down to an almost empty tub with a few clankers.
    obviously, not enough to get in the bathtub with but maybe I could just rub them on my face. 🤣

    Just buy an oz of gold, and add more silver on the dips.

    @TwoSides2aCoin
    Good plan. Basically rinse and repeat each time I have enough silver to trade for gold.

    Good Luck trying to find anybody to do the swap. I've only had one taker in the past 5 months and I'm willing to give the advantage to the trader.

    Yes but they both go up and down together. So I need to wait for the pop to sell the silver (missed the window yesterday), hold the cash then buy the gold on the next dip. That might save a few hundred help cover the premiums I paid buying the silver in the first place.

    I don’t know maybe I’m overthinking it.

    I have pretty shiny silver coming from mint and proof sets and usually sold easily on the BST in the past. Ie 56 proof Franklin raw etc. etc.

    Central banks are buying gold, not silver. Even their vaults are not big enough for it.
    Keep gold, trade silver.

    Industry is buying silver and consuming it in ever increasing quantities.
