Thanks mucker 👍

For now I see it as a savings mechanism. I see it as a little bit of a gamble that prices might rise in the mean time. If it doesn't however and I don't need to cash out then it'll be left to my kids. And again in the meantime... if the worlds banking does collapse then I'll be somewhat prepared, hence sovereign's being my main target. There's a lot of versatility in gold and also what's recognisable worldwide.

Hey @Liam84 I don't have any real plan at the moment for how I'm going to use it as it's not commonly used to pay for anything. I'm just sort of "hopping on the bandwagon" at the moment and with the sharp dip last week it soured me into taking the plunge. I'm taking a little bit of a gamble because as they say.... "You've got to speculate to accumulate" I paid £635 per coin only proof £2 and £760 for a boxed + coa proof £2. I think it was a decent buy from what I've seen but I'll take notice of what others have said about the liquidity of them and so long as I can get back what I paid in the future I'll be happy. Any more would be a nice bonus though right 😉

Thanks for the tips and heads up. I'll bear it in mind when I'm browsing. It's a lot to look for.

What are "PM's" (sorry, in a rookie lol) and yeah... I think sovereigns are going to be my next target. I'd like a tube eventually.

I guess what I have are considered semi-numi without the box so I was hinging my bets they might hold some of that value as well as the intrinsic value. Probably not much if any but for what I paid I think I hit a score. Time will tell.

That's what I've heard a lot of👍

I saw the dip in gold price at the beginning of the week pretty much as it happened. I had a quick look at what was available and I picked up the last 2 for less than the price of a standard 2021 double sovereign at now prices. They were as close to spot as any price I saw anything else for.

Hey @CollectorNo1 For some funny reason I just like £2 coins. I never spend them, I just save them up and then change them up whenever I feel it's time. Recently gold has been a bit of a hot topic and when I saw there were gold versions of the £2 I was instantly interested. I wouldn't say I'm going to be a real collector as such but something draws me to them. I find them more interesting to look at then a standard double sovereign.

Thanks @ChrisSilver. I'm happy to be here and take onboard what you guys have to say. 👍

Hi all. Im mtaybar and I've just joined the forum. I've heard that this is a good place to come and learn a few things about stacking, investing and collecting all things gold so here I am. I've bought 3 gold proof £2 coins and I'm wondering if I made the right start. One is boxed and has a c.o.a and two are coin only in the original capsule. Any advice would help me out enormously and be most appreciated. I look forward to what you guys think.
