I suppose the real answer lies in, to what purpose, or what end, would you purchase said pm for. If the goal is to own something to act as a wealth storage system to ride out "the bad times" then gold would be the way to go simply for holding more value per volume. If the goal is specifically to barter during "the bad times" then silver offers a more manageable value per volume and thus offers an advantage. The issue that I always see with the pm discussion is that people start assigning current, or predicted, US dollar values to pms for barter purposes...and during total shtf, that goes out the window. If your fam is starving, you'll trade every ounce for food...thus the value of pm varies per individual transaction and situation.

The biggest thing is to just keep converting cash to metal. Silver is a great choice up to a point. Storage could become an issue, but the potential for higher returns is there. Gold seems a little more stable, and its wealth density is obviously way higher. You can also convert between the two when the gold/silver ratio makes one metal “cheaper”.
Im about 65% silver 35% gold with a variety of sizes and types. I only started buying in July 2020 and its amazing how much value you can rack up in PM pretty easily. Normally I would be buying gun stuff and other hobby stuff with this money.

Between RC and PM I'm pretty much done with guns. It's just too expensive
