Which size is the best for long-term investment, in your opinion?

I love these babies... I purchased the 1 ounce gold one in ms-70 ( looks better to me than the proof one ).
The contrast in my opinion looks better.. Barsenault, I like the 1 ounce silver... My opinion.
 
1 ounce - best collector investment (if can be bought at a reasonable premium).

1 kilo - best silver investment due to cheapest price per ounce.

With the PM not updating mintage information for about a year at a time, the 1 ounce and kilo coins are the only reasonably safe options. On the other sizes you are taking a bigger gamble.

Several months ago, I expected that I would be buying several boxes of 1oz lunar monkeys and 2016 kooks. But the trends from the mints and the US dealers are pushing me back to ASEs. Right now, I am waiting for dealer trends and silver pricing to return to more favorable positions before making any purchase decisions.

Kilo can be remint at any given time Up to 2019
 
Well, from looking at the prices and all, I would load up on the 1/2 oz and the 2 oz. and maybe a roll of the 1 oz. It all depends on how much money you are allocating towards it.
 
Thanks for chiming in everyone. Folks on the YT chimed in too. And it appears that the 1/2 and 2 are the more popular coins for investements, which means, they're probably no longer the best investment now. LOL. Maybe the 5/10/Kilos are.

What I don't understand about the KILOS, which makes no sense to me is, the Rooster is the next on the list. are you telling me they'll only give this a 2 year window to mint before they declare the mintage (2019), whereas the dragon and the Ox, etc...have had the chance to be minted for many more years. Something seems a bit skewed by implementing this kind of policy, yes?

A rich person who oddly finds PM lunar nice can request PM to mint the previous 11 on the last year. And many dealers can start to sell as a 12 pieces set.
2 keyword, rich and nice.
 
What ever you buy, just make sure that you will have a full set of 12 animal.

Otherwise...................

total agree full set sound right for me.
 
Hi barsenault,

well my 2 cent worth of opinion, I don't like the monkey artwork realization on this coin. It looks as amateurish as the Koala series and a few newer Kooks in my opinion. I am not buying any of these. I loaded the boat with horses tho, much nicer execution with the design, very attractive looking coin.
As for sizes, I prefer 2, 5 and 10oz I found the 1/2oz already to much marked up or premium on it over here similar with 1oz, I could not justify to buy, perhaps on a gamble of flipping them quickly as many do but not my thing. The kilo and 10kg are great but too much coin in my opinion but I am sure many collectors will disagree. The 2oz I could not get so easily in Canada and bought them over in Germany at a very low premium while I was there.
