I would like to add and chime in some of my thoughts for the coin vs bar discussion
For the bar:
- Less of a premium (I.e you get more value for the buck)
- These usually come in 1, 10, 100 oz and may or may not be stamped by a refinery
For the coin:
- Minted mostly by government mint
- More premium as the coins are considered collectable coins and also have a nominal face value.
Personally I think pretty long term and just in case of a SHIT HITS THE FAN scenario (think world war 3, nuclear meltdown, natural disaster, zombie invasion). Would you want to lug around a 10, 100 oz or 1 kilo bar and try and resell or trade that for food or supplies? Most common people will identify with the 1 oz coin easy because its minted by the government.
One last plus, because generally you pay a premium for the coins, you also receive a premium when you sell (in most cases).
On side note, don't get me wrong - large bars are good too if all you care is about accumulating large stacks of silver.
