Silver is a must for me. Under $20 seems like a good bet, and it can be a fun hobby. "Junk" silver like 1964 Kennedy half dollars, generic rounds, 10 oz bars, CML's, etc. are great. I got stuck in wanting to collect all of the same things at first, but then realized diversification is the best for me. Wouldn't overlook platinum either if it stays cheap relative to gold.

Must admit I've not purchased platinum yet, despite it being referenced as a good buy at the moment. I guess there's only so much one can do with a 24 hour day but since you've mentioned it, it may be worth a look. Thanks!
Platinum is more limited than gold and has a use as a catalyst in exhaust systems. I wouldn't go crazy and stop buying gold and/or silver to get platinum, but it is just another metal to add to the stack to keep things diversified. I like Pamp Suisse grams (they come in various weights) and platinum eagle US coins. Just know that they sometimes have a high premium over spot price
I am a firm believer in the benefits of diversification. I've seen and like the PAMP offerings in platinum; they're easily recognisable.
