Feeling good about my silver allocation – what's your strategy?

So, I've been dipping my toes into the silver side of precious metals more seriously this past year, and honestly, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Started my Gold IRA last year with a good chunk of gold, but seeing the current economic climate – and being a small business owner here in Denver, you really feel every ripple – I decided to diversify that metal allocation. I've put about $15,000 into physical silver within my IRA over the last six months, mostly 1oz American Silver Eagles and some 10oz bars. It just feels like a more accessible entry point and a stronger hedge against inflation right now compared to pure gold, given the price differential.

My strategy is pretty straightforward: consistently add a few hundred bucks worth every month or two, especially on dips. I'm not trying to time the market perfectly, just dollar-cost averaging into a tangible asset. My total metals portfolio is sitting around $65,000 right now, and I’m aiming for about 20-25% of that to be in silver long-term. It's a nice balance, I think, and offers a bit more liquidity if I ever need to rebalance from that portion of my holdings compared to liquidating a larger gold piece.

The whole process of getting it set up was smoother than I expected, even as a newbie. I spent a fair bit of time on the Learning Center at Gold IRA Blueprint, which was super helpful for understanding the logistics and different types of silver eligible for an IRA. Seriously, that place answered like 90% of my initial questions. Anyone else out there building up their silver stack within an IRA? What kind of ratios are you targeting? And how are you feeling about silver's performance relative to gold right now?

Curious to hear some other perspectives, especially from folks who've been in the game longer. Are there any particular types of silver coins or bars you recommend for an IRA, or any pitfalls I should watch out for with my current approach?
