Welcome! All above the advice is good. Also consider the best value half sovereigns too, if prices are right. When it comes to selling, and with gold (generally over the years, always) trending upwards, the coins you sell may find their way into the hands of new stackers, or those who want to buy a coin here and there - a half sovereign is lighter on the wallet to a buyer, than a full one. I predominantly stack full 'best value' sovereigns. A few rarities have luckily come up for me in best value. I also obtain best value half sovereigns, at the right price, and even some bullion quarters, at the right price (on a side note, HGM currently have 2022 Jubilee quarter sovs in stock under their 'best value' for anyone interested in those... I phoned them and that's what they told me they all are at current in that listing category). I'll pick up shield reverse full and half sovereigns at the right price - also utilising the 2021 edition of the 'Marsh' book to check for rarities, and online resources for mintage figures. The years with unique designs may also carry more interest. Overall, what you look to stack depends on your budget, buying strategy, and what your desired outcome / plan is for selling in the future. As a rule of thumb, best value full and half sovereigns will have the lowest premiums compared to other coins. Here's my plan, with my CGT-free gold coin investments, as an example: I'm in my mid 30's with a low budget - I pick up probably around 10 coins during a year (this amount including full, half, quarter sovs, maybe a 1/10 or 1/4 Britannia). I'm strict with my budget - I only spend what I can truly afford, and when I can truly afford it. My aim is to hold long term, hopefully for a 'pension top up' / earlier retirement / second property deposit, etc. I generally hope to get duplicate years, so that I sell 'duplicate' coins, retaining the higher quality ones of the same year, and the more unusual/rarer ones to either sell last, or pass down the family. Other folks will have different plans, different budgets and strategies. The only 'right' answer, is what works for you 🙂 -
