The argument for silver coins is that they would be more useful in day to day life after a currency crash, ie you couldn't trade a gold coin for a tank of gas, but a few silver coins, maybe. I'll leave this in the realm of conjecture. I knew a man who thought that alcohol and tobacco would make better barter items than metals.

The gold etf's (GLD and also SGOL, maybe a few others) have the advantage that they are more liquid, there is no shipping cost and you don't have to fret about physical security.

Very late in this game. But these coins do bring in more fun than ETF ticker symbols:
