🤔 Think I'll pass on that bet...

Whoa! £1,314 - where did that come from?

That's exactly my thinking, she also gets a good chunk of the pension if I pop my clogs... my missus that is, not yours 😂

Wouldn't be able to save it myself if I knew it going into PMs, it would be burning a hole so to speak... as others have stated, one Sovereign per month 👍

Yep, I use T22 Air-Tites also. I just bought some capsules though, not enough coins for a tube... yet!

So does the 2022 Platinum Jubilee Medal, designed by Timothy Noad give us an indication?

Thank-you @LawrenceChard, account created and stock alert added🙂 I'll have to scan my documents to upgrade my account tier over the weekend...

I bought some Sovs on last weeks dip so couldn't afford yesterdays, any idea of the reasons behind it?

Well, I didn't received the coin today but last week... chuffed to get a 2002 sovereign at last. My eldest was born back in 2002 and as such this will be a small gesture from dad once she turns 21 😍 Ag & Au... now to complete the two for the next one...

I daren't look to see what's hidden in the knickers drawer 🤣

First of all, many thanks @EONfor sharing your hard work with us. I'm possibly interested in a pendulum but there is one thing that dissuades me, the name on the base plate, EON BULLION. If someone is in my property - invited or not and reads this if on display somewhere, "oh! why do they have something to do with bullion?". I know we're all collectors and share our interest here on TSF but perhaps just a logo and EON as we're quite a secretive bunch about our hobby in general?

An 1817 would be top of my list, then like @Stuntman one of each monarch. After that the modern proofs - 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012, 2016 & 2017 and likely 2022. Anything left I'd go for bullion to finish off a date run or two such as Gillicks, WWI or modern QEII i.e. since 2000 but also hold out a little for the first Charlie proof Sovereign.

Welcome Chris

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum, mine was a 1oz Silver Brit, a birth year for one of my kids. I only started in March this year with sporadic buys. I've read up on some of the wealth of information posted and have setup a spreadsheet and a monthly amount of pocket money to purchase more. It's a slow process in building a stack, like you I only have limited spare cash but we'll get there 👍

Welcome to TSF @Wadsworth Now... top tip - open a bank account quick to hide your future purchases from your significant other 😂

Welcome aboard! Sounds very similar to me, I joined TSF back in March and quickly bought a few more Britannia's from fellow forum members. I've now upped my monthly pocket money quota to the detriment of other hobbies and switched to Sovereign's, it's a slippery slope...

A lurker steps into the light 😂 Welcome aboard!

Welcome @SilverAge, I started in March this year so in a similar position to yourself with a small stack (for now). For Silver I stick to 1oz Britannia's (being in the UK) but have now drifted towards Gold Sovereign's. It's a great hobby, one of many for me at the moment but in a couple of years I'll aim to purchase more regularly as it's also a great way to squirrel something away.

Welcome to the forum.

My grail Sovs right there 😍 As for 9999 Au, they have been 22ct for over 200 years, I don't think the RM will ever change them and to be honest, I quite like the fact they haven't even though now a coin for collectors rather than being in circulation. I do however consider that special mint years could be 24ct proofs such as the 2017 above or next years coin as examples.

@Bigmarc I completed my first trade this week so used RMSD to send some coins as part of the trade, I wasn't asked a thing but if I was I'd just say coins.

Welcome to the mad house Don't worry your soon be skint like the rest of us... throwing bad money after good 🤪

Welcome @Bee 😃
