My first thought is that you're timing to add is quite savvy as there's been a decent pullback and the months of November through to around February are typically strong months for precious metals in terms of price performance.
Silver looks like an amazing bargain right now. Whether its Gold or Silver you're talking about, American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs and Krugerrands are liquid pretty much anywhere globally. However, if you're in the USA, I would bet that American Eagles would be slightly more liquid though you may pay a slightly higher premium (but you get it back when you sell it).
It's worth noting that in gold 1 oz Canadian Maple Leaf is slightly smaller than 1 oz Krugerrands. It took me a while to figure it out but its because the larger size of the kruger is to accommodate the added alloy to increase strength whereas maples are more pure.
