I would say stick to well recognized generics such as silvertown buffalo rounds. This way, you get some (small) benefit of the recognizability that people like about American Silver Eagles without the high premium of ASEs right now (around 4.00/oz). 10oz bars seem good too. I would stay away from 100oz bars so you can sell in small amounts when needed. JM bullion has some decent prices around 1.80 above spot price and they are a solid company in my experience.
Apnea isn’t the cheapest. I think JM bullion might be cheaper. Also, I don’t know what has the lowest premium right now... but generally 90% Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes are pretty low
All the above. Buy some dollars like the silverton buffalos, some 10oz bars. I have purchased some Canadian Silver dollars and US as well. I have a couple 100oz bars but they're not super usable if shit goes down. I personally like the old silver coins. It still amazes me that when I leave Canada and fly home to the US to see family that on almost every trip I will find an old silver nickel or dime still in circulation. Old pennies are easy to spot as well. Collect them all. I just gave my grandson a 1884 US silver dollar that my Grandfather gave to me. He's 6 so he doesn't "get it" yet. But I hope he remembers me like I remember my Pap.

If you want silver, just get 90% silver US Quarters.

The cost over melt Value is about as low as you can get.... and it’s still a recognizable coin.
I assume you want the metal value, not some collectible
That was the thought.
