Wondering if anyone here buys silver or gold.

I am curious how people go about acquiring silver or gold, probably coins. It seems like every time I try and search for advice, it is almost always provided by a site that is selling coins and I find it difficult to take advice from someone who is selling the product.

I did by my first sleeve of 20 silver eagle coins but before I buy any more, I better educate myself on the subject. I already owned about 50 old morgan silver dollars but I thought I would start collecting as a hobby and investment as well. Maybe if I started collecting a sleeve of a particular year, then another year, etc.. I might ending up with a real collection someday. I'm a total novice on this so I'm open to any tips.

Also, I understand that coins will have a premium over the base price of silver due to the manufacture of the coin - what is the typical markup? Is collecting silver bars a better investment or do coins appreciate better? Just some of my questions.

I started with silver because I can afford it but would someday like to add some gold coins. I bought a US Mint Monster Box which I think will motivate me to get it filled (only 24 more sleeves till it's full).
