It's the sort of advice savvy ones (expect to be ignored, largely..) no matter how sanely based on stats--as you say, over a lengthy period.
Sadly IMjO--jaundiced: Unprecedented times confound such previous-wisdom (also too.)
Those who bet on the Four (or maybe Eight by now?) Horsemen scenario--are already stocking up on the essential 'things':
those which we jaded masses Will steal-from-food-shekels, to obtain ("Comfort non-food"?)
What a System, eh? the Anti-"system" System whose base-Rule (in both senses) remains: I've Got Mine: via Gaming-the-System better than Joe Blow.
Maybe someone in 30s? with an adult sense of delayed-gratification could justify the rarer-coin game (but not so-rare as to be ludicrously priced already.)
But I'd bet it's still true that rare-Silver would have a wider interested market, at sell-date; quite fewer Collectors of gold coins, extant.
And here again, the Ag-quantity thus weight is hardly an issue."Compact hedge."
This stuff would be lots easier, were there much (any?) confidence that the nest 100 years will be anything like the last.
Me punts.
