UK (Graded only)
There are two top tier grading companies that are widely accepted in the precious metals industry as being the two leading grading companies; Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS). We would recommend members to choose coins graded by these companies. Coins graded by these companies generally trade to a premium over coins graded by other less popular grading companies.
This section is for Graded (slabbed) precious metals only, located in UK only. Please indicate which country you are shipping from in your thread.

Thank you! Glad you got to go through it all eventually. -
hi, i will take them please -
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. -
If you want to do a simple date run, start with Edward as was King for only a short time and the coins very affordable. Another route is to buy the year you were born and do a catch up to the present day. This could be expensive if you are over 50 -
When your starting I'd stick to just getting the best value ones as and when you can. If you keep an eye out on the likes of the forum here you'll see some pop up at great prices relative to current best value sovereigns. These you can pick and choose the dates. But until you have a good base best to just pick up any year you don't have. The date runs will start to appear.

Lost me at 50 tbh -
The collection is quite varied and does contain different denomination coins but as for the sovereigns there are now just under 500 full and just under 100 half's with a few double and quintuple ones also.
