Well done and especially in the short amount of time it took 👏 
 
Im in the kilo club too. Shame its just bloody silver 😄

The media has done a cracking job over the years to denigrate the idea of owning Gold as being for paranoid nutcases.
It is now very apparent that it has been a very deliberate policy to push this narrative as Gold is kryptonite to the Keynesians.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but if I had bought 1 Sovereign a month from when I started work in 1989 I would be retired now.
For any younger stackers out there, its still an achievable target even at today's prices.

Well done @Skyfiller! You must be proud.
1KG of gold....a big extension on the house, a fancy car (if that's your thing), a child's University tuition, world travel....etc.
Or just drawdown, a sov a month to supplement your pension.
Whatever....a great position to be in 😊

That's the way to stack. An amazing achievement. You've got time now to get another two to finish off the other 7 years of your goal. Well done.

Purchased a special sovereign off @James32 last week which means I owe a massive thanks to everyone on TSF as I've hit the 1kg of gold in full sovereigns 🙂 (That's 137 to save anyone counting 😂).
I started this journey just under 3 years ago after happening upon TSF after looking up what one was worth that was given to me by my grandparents when I was born. Gave myself the target of 1kg in 10 years (1 per month plus a few) and have smashed that. Honestly the best decision I've done and a great little nest egg for retirement. Here's to the next kg and once again, thank you all 😀🥰

I got into a spot of 'light' stacking just as a hobby really - I liked the look and feel of the coins and it was the coronation year with all the 'special' Brits and Sovereigns and suchlike. Then I started watching more of the podcasts - to be honest the American ones with the 'prepper' slant  made me laugh, these folks are seriously nuts, but most of the Brits are fairly sober minded with 'collectible' enthusiasm mixed in. Then I watched one too many CobraStackers and his collectible enthusiasm started to rub off - next thing I know I'm up to my arse in Germania and Perth mint limited strikes, I swear I now dream of shooting freaking Kookaburras with an F35! But as for getting rich, it's never going to happen, I'm planning on divying my collection amongst an expanding number of grand kids so it'll be their headache at the end of the day. I just enjoy the whole experience as a somewhat expensive hobby. Maybe i should have stuck to gardening but there's just not the same buzz in getting your hands on a limited edition Duchy of Cornwall watering can.

Hello Folks, I have available, a lovely 2022 gold sovereign proof set 
Price £995 plus postage
Thank you for looking
 

And this is for those who thought I was stupid when I told them to buy gold:

Sh*t, Wonga was right... £400/ounce

Momma, I am rich!

Sorry, I haven't got my glasses with me and can only read large type  but is this the 30 year silver graph?  
( Asking for a friend ) TIA

Vindication at last, respect from the missus at last, I can wear my tin foil hat with pride now. Sovs were like £320 when I started stacking...always, I envied those who had picked up sovs when they were half that. The last six months especially have been a time of euphoria, relief and a little hubris 😳

....now comes a pullback?

i always thought the point of the silver forum was , sometimes, if you need to offload some metal quickly , for a couple of pounds to pay a bill etc,  somebody will buy it in minutes , sometimes seconds , and if you have to take a bit of a loss , so be it , we are all grown men , its life , swings and roundabouts , win , lose or draw, thats life so be it

And we have a winner, I think you are now promoted from rookie to journeyman at least 🥰
  
  

This post is really for all non paying TSF members. However it will probably resonate with a lot of paid members too. 
***I haven't been asked to write this but it is a kind of testimonial***
When I started buying precious metals years ago it wasn't a problem, as I would buy current year silver and gold bullion, and directly from very reputable online dealers. As the years went on I started getting more interested in older coins, sovereigns to be specific. However I had very little, to no knowledge on what to look for. So as I started to do research online and TSF posts kept coming up. So one day I decided to join. It's great that you can get so much information on here and post questions without being a paid member. I learned so much just from being in the background and reading all the new threads and responses. 
So a little time later after becoming acquainted to the site, I bit the bullet and started a new topic. I can't remember what my first question was, but all I can remember that after all the responses, it saved me making a very costly purchase on a coin. I continued to stay on as a free member for a little while longer, mostly because I didn't have the time to be more active, and  then found I had to ask another question. Again loads of responses and very helpful advice from members. 
I then took a moment and thought to myself. If it wasn't for TSF, I could have lost a lot of money, and also not made purchases that I would have normally passed on. So I decided to become a silver premium member. I pay £5.99 a month (the price of a coffee and croissant in London) and off course with becoming a paid member I can buy and sell on here, but that wasn't my intention. I knew it would be very unlikely that I would buy much due to the fact that I currently live in Portugal. I did it because I wanted to support the forum, due to how members have helped me. On a side note, if you are in the UK and are interested in buying PM's (Precious Metals), then there are some amazing deals to be had on here. I cry sometimes at how cheap things are, compared to dealers, ebay and over here in Portugal. I really don't care if the owner is making a big profit or not. They are providing a safe, friendly and very helpful service, that I hope to be part of for many years to come. 
So for the sake of £5.99 a month, I would highly suggest you get your credit/debit cards out, buy a premium membership, and support TSF. It's money well spent and if you're buying PM's. you'll save that several times over when you make a purchase. 
Just my personal TSF experience. 
Peace and love to all at TSF 🙏 (God knows we need it)
