Gold vs. Silver

Collector's Guide

Gold and silver both make exceptional collectibles. The right first piece depends on your budget, how you want to display it and how much you plan to collect.

Silver

  • Lower cost per ounce, so a larger piece for your money
  • Big formats, such as 5 oz medallions and 10 oz bars, that show off design detail
  • A natural start for building a full series

Gold

  • Higher value in a small size, easy to store
  • 1/10 oz pieces offer an accessible entry point
  • Each product page lists exact weight and purity

Proof and PF70 Editions

Both metals are offered in proof finishes and PF70 graded editions. Graded pieces are sealed for protection, which makes them popular as gifts and display pieces. Learn more in our guide to what PF70 means.

Caring for Your Collection

  • Keep pieces in their original capsule or holder.
  • Handle them by the edges.
  • Store them somewhere cool and dry.
