Invest/save for a purpose. If your purpose is to preserve wealth and purchasing power over the long term, gold might be a bit better than silver. Gold is more stable and will take less size and weight.Also easily passed in your estate if you are looking for a legacy. If you believe you need transactional capability in an economic or grid down scenario, silver is probably a better choice. Even in small amounts, gold holds too much value (in current measures) to be effective for buying a gallon of milk and carton of eggs. Silver will be more readily exchanged, especially "junk" sliver.

My own collection process sets a goal of 10K for silver, split 60/40 between junk and Eagles. Once achieved, then I split my PM budget between gold and silver, At that structure, (and in my budget) I am constrained to buying small gold (1/10th oz and occasional 1/4 oz) and continue with my 60/40 silver split.

I believe my process will achieve by objectives - protect against the possibility of economic calamity in the short run (heavy reliance on silver) and long term protection and stability (gold). YMMV. I believe strongly that we should protect ourselves, BUT within reasonable bounds. Set a budget and don't do dumb things today out of fear of tomorrow.
