The OP asked about investment, not survivalism; however, a silver coin might become
the commodity to obtain an apple.
IMHO, it's good to invest in both, but using one's "discretionary" funds.
If one starts early in their career, their 401(k) can be enriched by physical gold.
--and one's employer can match your contributions!
It's tricky territory, though, since gold is inordinately taxed.

Plus, the Government knows where the gold
is--
and can confiscate it--as it famously did during a major collapse:
