I wouldn't be too concerned with premiums, at the end of the day when you come to sell it - you sell it at the market price and not spot price. Just buy what you like in terms of bullion, its good to have a little mixture of both gold and silver. 
If you're going to buy some gold then I'd definitely recommend sovereigns or half sovereigns.

my wife expects a little bit more 🙄     welcome to the forum 😃

Welcome to silver!!😀😀 (and the forum).

Hello
I'm brand new here trying to stack/collect silver.
I bought this coin today but somehow I can't find to much about it.
Any idea how much us worth?

'Cheap' cotton gloves can drop fibres which isn't an issue for most stuff but it is for proof coins etc. 
I use latex/nitrile gloves if handling fresh silver or shiny new gold, purely as it's a savings mechanism so may as well be as fresh as possible if/when it is eventually moved on by myself or a descendant. I am less fussy these days with things like sovereigns and other circulated coins. Whether wearing gloves or not I only use fingertips on the edge of the coin and never grip the faces. The exception here is obviously worn stuff that fondling will have no negative effect on. I quite like to flick silver with my thumb (a la the heads or tails game) to listen to the noise it makes as it's struck. I am quite odd though. If you don't do this I recommend it, works especially well with large coins such as crowns or dollars. I have an old peace dollar that is as smooth as glass and it makes the most wonderful 'pulled from a movie sound effect library' PING as it's sent skyward...can't do that with gloves on!

Thank you @RYAN05 for a super generous Christmas gift and all the organisers of this great prize draw for making it  so special. 2 fantastic examples of Canada’s finest and super shiny Britannia, doubling the diversity in my stack. Very happy Mac
