Hello From A Newbie

[Rookie]

Hello Everyone,

As my username suggests, I am a complete rookie looking to start investing in physical metals. Found the site via Backyard Bullion on Youtube. I hope to learn what the best approach is for someone resident in the UK to grow their investment with modest outlay and no experience. I am chomping at the proverbial bit to get my hands on some physical silver (really fancy a 1kg bar), but it seems, from my meagre research, that premiums are prohibitive for UK dwellers and that gold is the best course of action if I want to hold a physical metal? That being said, sales posts on here seem reasonable (thanks BYB for the help!), and it got me to thinking; What is a sensible % of premium on top of spot price for Ag, considering an investment time horizon of 10+ years?

Looking forward to learning more on here,

All The Best.
