    I reckon the 10 kilo dragon may be the go lock it away and let it breathe its fire to riches and prosperity

    The other thing may be to have 1 of every dragon coin in all sizes including gold barring the 10 kg...

    ^^ THIS

    Build yourself a core position of low-premium silver.

    Split it as follows

    3% into 50 Cent pieces
    17 % into 1 oz coins
    30% into 10 oz bars/coins
    50% into 1kg bars

    Hey mate,

    I'd maybe do 80-20 Silver-Gold. 10oz bars from the Perth mint are great although I did get to handle some 10oz Scottsdales today and they are sexy too. Go somewhere where they will give you a bulk discount. www.bullionclub.com.au has some bulk buy prices and their 10oz dragons get 30% of the premium till the end of the month.

    Mainly 10oz bars maybe a 100oz bar and some small change in 1oz bars. As a friend of mine said, you can't buy a burger with anything bigger then 1oz once the shit hits the fan.

    Most important, have fun investing the 15K.

    - Even though I am team Jacob, I stack silver...

    Depends on the day
    In the current market, probably 7 or 8 low premium 1 Kg bars, and the rest in popular coins, maples, phillies, kooks, lunars, whatever was the best deal going on the day. I'd be avoiding the 10Kg super-hummer, but that's just me...

    I'd grab 3 x 1 oz gold coins or bars (1oz. Panda, 1 oz. Maple, 1 oz. Perth mint bar)
    That'll be about 5600.
    I'd spend the other 9400 on 3 x 1 kilo bars,
    Then 10 x 10 oz stacker bars
    And a tube of 20 pandas.

    Depends on who you're selling to.
    Some people don't want to deal with small change - some people want to go big.
    If you're putting silver down in hopes of real estate down the track, you are not going to raise that kind of money selling pretty little silver dragon coins on an internet trading board to a silver stacker.

    Work out why you are buying silver and optimise towards that goal. Some examples:

    -You want to take advantage of the 'price' of silver increase, and don't care for all the 'banks are going to implode hype'. IN that case, just open a forex account, and open a position at 0.15 lots, i.e 0% leverage. No stops. No fees or premium, nd interest free loans to 'invest if you want to increase silver position to say double on leverage...

    -You want to have something to trade in the event that Aussie dollars are rejected and we're thrown back in to barter money. I'd buy 50c 1966's. They are easily recognised an have an easy calculable value at 1/3 oz (almost exactly). I would also possibly consider predecimal coins bought by the kg (of silver) but these would probably rely on a coin dealer to recognise to get your value back.

    -You want to both capitalise on price, and buy a small farm later for the TEOTWAWKI (ok, you'll need more than 15k of silver for that, maybe 30-50kg+ depending on the final price and where you want to buy). In that case buy 1,5,15kg bars as close to spot as you can. The bigger bars have much smaller premiums so you get more money back as silver. The large size is perfect for big transactions, a mix of a smaller ones gives you the granularity to adjust your stack to the property purchase price rather than having to split before you buy.

    The 1oz coin is nice, but for me I don't see the situation in which it's value can be fully realised except a perpetuation of the current state... and even then, you have ~10% of premium built in.

    To me this makes a very nice core position, with a great tradable aspect.
    Definently shop around for the best prices on the bars and coins. You'll likely find bulk discounts at those quantities for all except possibly the 66 50c.

    You underestimate the ability of this forum to connect people with capital to people with metal.

    So there is no reason to avoid 1 kg or 100oz bricks.
    The advice here was to avoid them as they will be out of people's price ranges.

    @ GP well said
    @earthjade if it goes up to that point you just take it to a dealer if noone here wants it .There has been kilos of gold sold here that were sold in record time & i know many big deals are done by pm that dont make it on the forum. So no reason to avoid them...at all

    100oz arent bricks they are like pavers 5kg are more like bricks :p:

    Earthjade ur talking out your Arnoose

    What Renovater said
    What GP said
    Personally 100% what Hotel46 said

    Must be said in these stricter fiscal times 1KG bars have preformed like dogs(Not the Husky kind) compared to 10 oz bars
