One once of gold is more valuable than one ounce of silver. It would be a better decision to buy gold. Even if you want the silver, you can then simply sell the gold, and buy even more silver.

Gold by far, especially if it is pure (24k). Gold is selling for around $1000US/oz, while silver is $12-13US/oz. Ten ounces of silver might fetch $120-130US. Philosophically, it depends on who is buying. Gold is worth nothing to a silversmith, that person would rather have the silver. But they wouldn't pay more than $12-13US per ounce. $1US is one United States of America dollar.

1/10 of an ounce of gold is worth 10% of the Gold Spot price on any given day, therefore this value changes daily. For example, if gold is at $1000 an ounce, 1/10 of an ounce is worth $100.

This value is also dependent on the Fineness of the gold, the Gold spot price is the value for one ounce of Fine Gold which is 24 Karat Gold with no alloys.


Remember, gold and other precious metals are measured by the troy ounce, which is about ten percent heavier than our avoirdupois ounce.

Technically, you need however much an ounce of silver costs when you go in to buy it.
