Totally agree. The older sovereign looks more like gold and has character. All it takes is a very small percentage of silver to the mix.

Not to derail the topic at all but does anyone else wish they’d abandon rose gold in favour of the more pleasant mix that the older sovereigns had? Wishful thinking I know but I can’t help but feel the new ones look too much like shiny pennies!

A wise investor once said something to the effect of: "You know you have too much when you start losing sleep over your investment. In that case, sell down to your "sleeping point" and keep the rest"

I am stacking both to pre 2013 22ct and post 2012 24ct. All of them contain 1oz of pure gold after all. Sometimes you get the pre 2013 cheaper from some dealers. After all when stacking its all about buying the lowest per oz. 
The Nathan design pre 2013 are lovely and sometimes you get lucky and get one by chance. Normally they attract a premium if you are after them specifically. You can generally get some from Chards and BBP.
The 2013 is an oddity. It's 24 carat but thinner and bigger than all the others. You either pick it up at a discount (Bairds) or pay a premium.
Bottom line, different dealers take different views, its up to you to decide what you want and where to buy for the best deal.
Happy stacking

The security packaging of top bar has clearly been tampered with. Rather buy from a reputed dealer. Bullion by post, Gold.co.uk and Gold-bank have them in stock or ask on the forum if someone has one to sell. 
Also note that Pamp make bars with different designs, The one at the bottom, Lady Fortuna, is the most popular

This is a very complex tax and to even to give any basic advice/information requires a lot more detail of what they own for instance. Best to pay someone for detailed recommendations as it could potentially save you a lot of money or cost you a lot if you get the wrong advice. Some basic info here:  https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/inheritance-tax-planning-iht/
Also don't forget that you could make use of gifts. Your parents could gift you the property you stay in now (or any amount of money). You will have to pay stamp duty. If they live another 7 years there is no tax payable. If they die before 7 years, inheritance tax is reduced on a sliding scale between 0 and 7 years.

That is slightly unfair😜
You have to at least compare the same sides of the coins.
Obverse: Some would say Attractive Queen v rather ugly dude (others may disagree)
Reverse: Beautiful regal Britannia v beautiful regal springbok
Take your pick. In the end, both an ounce of fine gold, hold their value equally, easy to buy, lovely to hold and easy to sell.

Hi there,
I bought the 1oz gold beast 2021 from Atkinsons. Their prices are very good in comparison to other dealers. I will have a look at your link. Thank you so much for your help.

It's like building up a portfolio of shares. Staring at the screen, trying to time the market mostly doesn't work. Better to build your portfolio with regular purchases. That way you get a good average price. Building wealth is a long slow process, but by persistence you get there.

Look at the 20, 30,50 year charts and see all those "tops". Just keep buying, pond cost averaging will take care of the rest...

Sovereigns are 22 carat, which means 11 parts pure gold and 1 part another alloy, typically copper and/or silver. Pre 1957 Sovereigns used copper and a small part of silver, resulting in a yellow colour. From 1957 onwards the Royal mint used copper only (cheaper) resulting in a "rose" colour. See attached
