I'm planning some travel over the coming months and I don't want to miss any opportunities to buy (and potentially sell) while we are gone. Allocated storage seems like the safest way to buy when you can't physically receive yourself - but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what the best strategy is. I'm thinking down the track of: - the more local the better - easier to take delivery if/when the time comes - buy back scheme could be handy - would be great if they do both gold and silver But then, is it worth looking into unallocated with someone reputable like the Perth Mint? I'm sure this question has come up plenty before, so if anyone has any other links that would be handy I'd appreciate it - I searched for allocated and it came up with a ton of results that didn't seem relevant. Thanks
