>>20160363Some stack for weight some for larger pieces. I say coins are more recognizable and because of that people are more prone to trust them. Coins are also easier to carry in a pinch. I know I'm coming from a prepper grid collapse standpoint but it's becoming evident that is where we are going down the line. Depending on where you live tax laws can also be a big deal pic related.
As for myself I am very diversified in my stack. I have antique jewelry, numinastic coinage, a plethora of random rounds, a bunch of silver eagles, maples and lizzies, at least 40 oz in 5 oz bars and 40 oz in 10 oz bars. Odds and ends vicambi gram bars, platinum grams and most of my gold is fractional too. Holding weight is more important if you're worried about the bottom line. You can also hide certain things like jewelry and pure silver and gold wire amongst the clutter of your environment without people stealing it. Just a trick but you can put your real silver and mix it with a bunch of silver plastic nonsense and people will leave it alone. Like a fake treasure prop box or your kid's' favorite Hess truck collection. I employ all these tactics and even keep 100 oz of silver in a prop nest down the road, and a dozen in a bee hive just outside my property. Just get creative with it, diversify or die. Now more than ever though, get as much silver as you can. I very much doubt we will be able to get physical silver soon. Just a hunch
