Blame Nixon. I like to.

2 generations ago this was blindingly obvious.

Originally posted by LucidDementia View PostGiven the gold to silver value ratio historically has been far lower than it is today I choose silver, but yes, purely as a store of value.
As long as it's physical there's no "wrong" choice.

Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostOne of main reasons I am interested in gold is I want to invest something that can help against a devaluing currency. Maybe gold isn't the ticket, but holding £5-£10k in gold seems a worthwhile punt...

Originally posted by LucidDementia View PostIf you must go with gold I'd suggest Brits anyway purely because they're exempt from CGT and are relatively small.
If you need to liquidate gold it's much easier to shift a 1oz coin or two than to find someone who'll give you change for a kilo brick.
Silver's still better.

Unlike sovereigns which are 22ct gold, mapleleafs are 1oz of pure (24ct) gold.
That's what mate went for, he also went for some silver too.
My silver is mainly in 1oz bars as stacking coins gets a bit tricky once you have a few.
