Silver, because it is also an industrial metal, it is also relatively affordable, so you can stack it every week..
Gold is pretty tho. and if you have thousands of dollars spare, it is compact.
They are to some extent linked, however, silver has been far more suppressed than gold, because of its industrial status. The price had to be kept low to keep technology affordable. When SHTF the price will shoot up. Plus, it is being used up, unlike gold.
Copper is fun as gifts for kids, but one has to keep tons of it to store wealth. The price of a copper ounce is mostly a minting fee.
In my short amount of time looking at precious metals, silver seemed to be a better value for your money with more room to increase in value. Do you think In a SHTF scenario, copper coins would have a use or just never going to be worth much?

I think in a SHTF scenario, collectibles such as copper kettles, urns and such better value.
Copper coins not so much, but as I said, they make good gifts for kids.
They will have a use just because they are a conductor but look at scrap metal and just tin. Tin melts at 450 is very useful
