On our blog posted Monday April 13, 2009 we asked how investors would do if they bought 1 oz and gold and diversified by also buying 72 oz of silver.
Gold was then $1,039 an ounce silver was $14.33 and the gold silver ratio was 72.1
The gold investment was 2,078 and is now worth $2,226.80 + 7%
The gold and silver investment was $2,070.76 and is now $2,379.88 + 15%
Investors who only buy gold and silver bullion might want to consider that they could have turbo charged these returns by further diversification into numismatic quality, certified collector coins. The 2008 $25 American Gold Buffalo Certified First Strike PR70 DCAM rose from $1,200 to $1,700 for a 41.7% gain according to the PCGS price guide. This is a 24kt gold coin weighing half an ounce that was certified perfect 70.
