(Silver Doctors Editors) Coins, bars & rounds, oh my! Investing in gold & silver is rewarding in so many ways, but sometimes it's hard to know what kind of gold or silver to invest in. For example, just purchase 100 ounce bars and be done with it, or go for a variety of weights?

Is fractional silver, that is, silver that weighs less than one ounce, a good investment, or is it too expensive when it comes to the premium?

What about coins in a series?

Here's a quick primer, a sort of mini crash course, which veteran stackers may also find as a nice little refresher because today we're going over some of the things that people should consider when buying gold & silver bullion.
