Actually, I have silver coins and was thinking that it may be a good time to sell.
What is the thinking on the most efficient way to move silver coins?

No, land and chicken.

A silver 1964 liberty quarter is worth more than $8. Silver at the approximate $50 per ounce is probably undervalued. Ounces in China are trading at $128. I'm watching both the gold and silver markets but I'm only invested in gold.

It's still early in the gold and silver boom. You can buy ETFs or buy physical and become a stacker. ETFs are liquid but stackers get to hold and look at all the shiny coins and bars.

Bought silver at about $4.50 ounce and gold at $450 in about 2004. Kids were born in 1999 and 2001 so I got them a Gold Eagle with their birth year and a 100 oz Englehard silver bar a piece.
For comparison the $1000 of apple stock is worth about $300,000.

Yes. Before it was cool. Platinum. Palladium. Gold. Silver. Physical, in my safe metals.
I'm not as excited about it as I used to be. So I haven't added to it. The transaction/acquisition costs are very high. And I've yet to try to sell anything...but disposition costs are probably also very high.
Interesting watching Platinum and Gold go in different directions. Even palladium had its moment. I'll probably just sit on it and start giving it to my kids.
The stock market has made far better returns for me.
Still there's something nice about precious metals. I'm not touching Crypto.

I just bought a gold brick with a Balanese Dancer on it. Does anyone know what that means?

I lost all mine in a tragic boating accident.

I bought nearly a million dollars in American Eagles about two and a half years ago. I wasn’t speculating; it had more to do with having something tangible in a safety deposit box so I could put my hands on it if there was a crises. It was a tick under $2,000 an ounce then. I made a million dollars on that, and I’m still down on speculative type investments since then. I’d have been better off putting it all in an indexed fund.

Hell no. Stocks and bonds, same as it ever was.
Investment isn’t magic. It’s governed by the same ole supply and demand everything else is. If a bunch of people start demanding something for its own sake and not because a new use has been found for it that makes it more economically productive, the price will go up, but it won’t last, and eventually somebody will be holding their arse.
I’d rather bet on the global capitalist economy and especially on the American economy than on some fad.

5 years ago I put about $12,500 into metals. 3 ounces of gold and the rest silver eagles.
The gold has climbed in value quite a bit, but I'm still not sure the metal investment as a whole (gold + silver) has kept up with the rest of our portfolio. Silver isn't as hot as I thought it would be.

Investing in bullion has a certain allure but it isn’t really practical. It is illiquid and doesn’t produce any passive income (i.e. dividends). Bullion is a pretty bad investment actually even though it is cool.
