The ratio is how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold, i.e. the gold to silver ratio. You can find it listed at the bottom of the charts on kitcos metals page and it is a handy quick ref.
I prefer bullion although some of the old coins are very attractive. I keep bullion for monetary reasons and do not consider myself a collector.

I use http://gainesvillecoins.com for mail order or marrietta gold and coin exchange for counter sales when im in the area.
Yep-
I have some old Morgan silver dollars and some liberty ones too. I love the patina they get! You can imagine those old coins being used in a poker game in the old west (which most of them undoubtedly were.)
I always buy in one ounce quantities because it's easier to move if needed.
100 ounce bars are horrible. I have a few 10 ounce bars but would rather have the weight in one ounce quantities.
It all boils down to how much total weight you have. When it comes time to trade/sell, the one you are trading with won't give you extra for the pandas or star wars collection. I admit to purchasing something extra every now and then. It was impossible for me to treat PMetals as a investment only..... It will become a closet hobby.
