Definitely need to get me a gold nugget one day like then loads 👍🏻 -
Nothing fancy to it. just pick up what you can, when you can. Started with just best value sovereigns. Bought from many sources, auctions, dealers, pawn shops, jewellers. just keep your eyes open for deals. As time went by and the collection developed that's when I started to seek out specific years and mints. I also try to keep my average spend or cost of a sovereign at or near the average cost of a best buy sovereign. As an example when I started I was picking up sovereigns for sub £200 roll on a few years and I was then paying £300. But the £ cost average for them might have only been £250 because of the number of sovereigns bought at £200. It's at this point in the collection I picked up slightly more expensive sovereigns. Proof, scarce or even a few rare ones. Time and the increasing price of gold has helped me here. Move forward to today and my collection has a rough £ cost average of £390 for the full and £190 for the half. Yet recently I have bought some 4 figure price tagged sovereigns. The latest is the 1937 George VI graded at PF63. There is no real secret, anything is possible with a little time and perseverance. Don't leave yourself short and only spent what you can afford not to need in the immediate future. Buy little and often. Have I made a few sacrifices? of course. I'd rather put the pennies aside than buy the latest phone. I don't need to frequent Starbucks or Costa for my daily choco moco frapachipolata coffee. Nescafe in the flask is fine. you get the drift.
