  1. Morning all! Just saying 'hi'. I'm new to gold and silver, I guess driven to metal by high stock market prices and the spectre of inflation. So far I have a couple of gold sovereigns, 1/4 gold Britannia, gold 20 Francs, 5g bar and 4 silver Britannias. My plan is to keep things balanced; some money into my pension, my graphics card is ticking over when I'm not using it doing a little mining in case Bitcoin does go to the moon (I'm not looking to start a thread on this topic btw) and finally the equivalent of a gold sovereign each month...maybe push to a full Britannia in a dip and then have a couple of months off. What I didn't expect is the instant hobby side this...OMG how gorgeous are the coins?! I know I am preaching to the converted here, but they are lovely and the kids think they are great. The hobbyist in me likes the idea of going around the world in 1oz silver coins and having a little display folder with info on each one, I might look to swap the 5g gold bar for silver Britannias once I know what a fair swap would be. Later, I'd like to go around the world in 1oz gold coins...I know this isn't sensible investing but I can think of worse hobbies! Worst case I guess I'll pay a premium for the hobby side of it. I found this forum because of the @BackyardBullion YouTube channel. As much as I enjoy the entertainment of "Holy smokes", "$3000 silver!", "It's going to the moon!", "BUY METAL NOW...but use my affiliate link" type headlines and videos, I also want to be educated in a nice calm way. He/the channel is also one of the reasons I joined as a paid member straight away, I know how much effort a YouTube channel takes. Not sure what BYB's relationship is to the forum but I hope this helps his cause. Anyway, I'm glad I found the forum. Looking forward to chatting, learning a bit and gently dipping my toe into private buying coin by coin with my 'around the world in silver coins' collection 🙂
