    We try to keep most of the 1985-1997 Maklouf proof sovereigns in stock, its getting harder to do as the mintages were extremely low compared to the bullion production figures. The most expensive are the early 1990's. There is a gap year in the Maklouf sovereign series, 1989 when only the fantastic 500th Anniversary proof sovereigns were produced.
    Not the best image of the Maklouf Portrait, but it was to hand :

    I’m new here and got a couple of 1 oz gold coins ( really nice) couple of sovs ( bit underwhelming) and the ‘seven’ 1oz coins in silver. Having trawled lots of posts on here, it seems the best way to stack pm is go for gold, to avoid vat and space, probably sovs as they are easy to offload and relative low premium. My budget is around £350 per month so thinking of getting 1 sov per month. I then started looking into collecting different heads, proof, unc, bu etc and that’s when the costs get silly. Also I see grade b coins but to be honest Im not particularly bothered if the coins are scratched / worn etc after all they are really old coins! At the end of the day I suppose it’s just gold and when cashed in by my kids 😀 , they will only get close to spot so probably best for me to buy it as close to that as poss as I’m ‘investing’ rather than ‘collecting’. I see a few dealers do a lucky dip - best value coins so thinking about that too, anyone go that route, was wondering do you get different heads etc as it might make the hobby more interesting but keep costs down?. Of course this forum seems great for buying sovs tho you have to be quick. 
    Any advice or opinions welcomed.

    @Robda1986 Your answer to @papabearxxx is ill-considered and plain wrong on a number of points:
    If you are going to post a comment about a fellow TSF member, particularly if it is critical, it would be good practice, and courteous, to tag them in to the post.
    There is nothing wrong with expressing an opinion about paying more to buy coins which are in stock. This is a matter of personal choice and preference. At least we offer a choice. As you know, our website is perfectly clear, up-front, and transparent. We clearly state whether coins are "In Stock" or "Orderable". We also offer "Pre-Orderable" for new products where we are waiting for release or delivery, or to be notified when the item is back in stock.
    I strongly disagree that there are "alot (sic) nicer companies to deal with". Most of our customers think we are very nice to deal with. You then mention three UK dealers by name. Although I agree that ATS are nice to deal with, I disagree with you about the other two. If you really want to know some of the reasons why, I could tell you.
    Your comments "I won't touch the company your (sic) thinking about with a barge poll (sic)" and "heck I'd rather take my chance with ebay" are offensive, misleading, and almost certainly defamatory. You clearly intend to cause the O.P. and other readers to think badly about our company, and to cause us reputational damage and loss. Your words carry an innuendo or implication that we are dishonest, unethical, bad, nasty, or that there is some other good reason to avoid us. Your comparison with ebay is odious. While there are some decent sellers and buyers on ebay, the site is rife with crooks, fraudsters, dodgy dealers, misleading descriptions, fakes, and the company itself appears to tolerate all of these, while publishing propaganda to the contrary.
    If you had included a link to the 11 page thread "Do i cut my losses?" with 259 replies, which you started in February this year, readers could form their own opinion about my company, and also about you.
    For convenience, I include a link here: 
    Although you did not name us in you original post, I would have preferred it if you had done so. Others members asked questions, and it became obvious to many who you were referring to. My usual advice is to provide as much information as possible, and if you think someone is doing something bad, then have the courage to name and shame them as appropriate.
    I would encourage anyone with time to spare, to read the thread, however I would like to make the following observations, some of which are addressed in the thread, others not:
    In your original post, you were not completely truthful or honest when mentioning our e-mail. Perhaps you would care to publish it so readers can see for themselves.
    You competely skip over and omit the fact that before you could proceed with the order, you were presented with a big, unmissable pop-up banner, which informed you that the coins were not in stock, and there could be an indefinite delay. We made it impossible to proceed with the deal unless you positively selected one of the choices. you never explained why you ignored the clear warning on the banner, and elected to proceed with the deal. There were also two further alerts before you could complete checkout and make payment. We do this because we do not want anyone deciding to buy from us unless they fully understand and accept the situation, we would prefer they bought elsewhere. 
    As stated above, you were not completely honest when mentioning our e-mail.
    We also make it clear that bullion deals are not subject to unilateral cancellation. This is standard practice. If this was not so, nobody in their right mind would offer competitive prices on any bullion products or similar purchases.
    Most sensible, reasonable, ethical people realise and understand this. You however, presumably because gold prices had dropped slightly, decided you wanted to abort the transaction, renege on our agreement, and agitate for a refund. You also wrote about trying to get a chargeback on your card payment. This is greedy, opportunistic, and unethical behaviour. If gold prices had increased meanwhile, you would quite rightly be annoyed and disappointed if we had unilaterally sought to annul the contract between us. What is right for one party to the transaction is right for the other party. From experience, we are aware that there are a small minority of people with very low ethical standards, who will try to renegotiate deals, dishonestly request chargebacks, abuse social media, including forums like this, leave unfair and unwarranted negative feedback and low scores on review sites, possibly in an attempt to blackmail traders into refunds, compensation, or simply to spite them even though the traders may be blameless, and the real villains are the dishonest and unethical customers.
    I believe you eventually sold the coins back to us, which in my opinion was not the most sensible choice. I think you said you bought some from elsewhere, BbP?, who had them in stock. You did not specify what type, date or grade you bought, and what price/premium you paid. It is almost certain that you would have been better off sticking with the original deal. I can tell you that you would have received your coins a month or two ago.
    You have the advantage that you use a semi-anonymous avatar, so you can easily post unfair comments without much risk. This anonymity is largely behind much of the cowardly bullying and trolling which occurs on social media. You will notice that I post here, as on other sites, using my own name.
    I could demand that you remove your comment, together with any other similar defamatory comments you have made, from this site and elsewhere. As I have quoted and included your response to this thread, this would only be partially effective. I therefore srongly suggest that you add an edit to your original response admitting that you were out-of-order, retracting your insinuations, and apologising for your slurs against Chards. If you do so, it may help to demonstrate that you are not totally irresponsible. If you choose not to do so, everyone can draw their own conclusions.
    Meanwhile, I reserve all our rights against you in respect of the defamation.
    I have tagged @ChrisSilver in to this post, as I believe he will not wish to see his site used for slanging matches, and quite rightly so, however I believe that it is only right that I take this opportunity to defend our company's , and my own, reputation, against inaccurate comments aimed at causing reputational damage.

    A gold 1oz is beautiful and great to hold. I was massively underwhelmed when I bought my first sov, but I always think it’s worth £300 and it cheers me up. My plan is to collect different heads but not pay over the top or going looking for rare ones. 
    Unless you are loaded I’d invest in sovs and buy a few 1oz silver coins ( the big 7) for interests sake.

    Blueged1 got a reaction from stefffana in Newbie - strategy advice please   
    Just started on the PM journey. I’ve been dipping my toe in for last couple of years but now want to start accumulating.  For pure interest sake I’ve got
    Gold - 2 x 1oz gold coins, 2 full sovs.
    Silver -  the 7 main silver 1oz coins plus 3 perth lunar 2 silver coins. 
     
    Not particularly interested in collecting although I might try finish the lunar series in slow time. Watched loads of YouTube vids on silver stacking and looks tempting to get as many silver brits as I can. I want to remove the emotions and just want to go cheapest route - secondary market to avoid the 20% vat .  I want to regularly spend around £300-£400 per month. So question is one vat free sov per month ( easy to source ) or loads of silver brits ( hassle to get them cheaper) per month.  Any advice appreciated.

    It is probably an unpopular opinion around here, but I'm of the opinion that the ship has sailed for buying silver in the UK unless perhaps if you buy it vaulted. Second hand prices even on here still seem to include a massive premium over spot that to me makes it not worth the while.
    If you had started your silver journey before Brexit then it would have been worthwhile to stack silver, you're better off buying gold now as the premiums aren't as insane and there is no VAT
