Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a loupe, can anyone recommend one worth getting? Doesn't have to be state of the art but decent enough to inspect prior to grading or just to enjoy my coins TIA

haha way ahead of you m8. I gave her a BYB poured heart for her birthday and she's getting 2 necklaces from Silver Angel pouring for Christmas!

I haven't been at this long but can't stop buying stuff 🙈 I don't really know what I'm doing and have been bending the ear of several members. They've all been very patient with me and have been very helpful for which I'm extremely grateful. My Mrs has started asking me to calm it down a bit. now, what else is for sale? oooo is that a Gothic Crown I see 👀

2 firsts for me today. My first Libertads and my first graded coins. Thanks to @Gypsy for these.

Lovely deal, just ordered mine 👍

👍

Thanks for the reply m8 it's much appreciated. When you talk about the melt value, is that just what a dealer would give you for it? Also, would you know if there's much of a market for this coin? Cheers.

I got given some coins today by my mum who acquired them when my auntie died. Most of them I think (after a bit of an internet search) are not really worth much, however, this one seems to be different. If anyone who has more knowledge than me would like to give their thoughts then it would be very much appreciated. TIA.

🙈 lol

Hi all, I'd like to get my 2022 sovereign graded. I know that there's some sort of hook up with the forum but I can't seem to find it. Could someone point me in the right direction please?. Thank you.

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to the reply. So from an investment point of view, is it best to buy gold bars and coins rather than silver? (thinking about the vat) and I suppose the bullion versions of the coins are the best (cheapest) but the bars are cheaper again? As far as buying high quality numismatic coins is concerned, how could someone like myself learn which coins fall into this category and which don't? I'm all for reading up on a subject so if anyone would like to recommend some books that would be great. Thanks again.

Hi all, total newbie here so be kind lol. I've just started on the stacking/collecting journey and have managed to aquire a few tidy coins (I think) in the exceptionally short time that I've been doing this. A 2022 proof sovereign amongst them. My main aim is for long term investment, so buying and keeping for 20 or so years and then selling to realise a profit. I've seen a coin on the Royal Mint website which I like for it's own sake. The Alfred the Great, so, my question, would this coin be worth buying ftom an investment point of view, how can you tell which coins are worth buying since, as far as I'm aware Una and the Lion didn't sell out straight away, and that series has turned out to be something special. Whats to say that this coin won't also? just after a bit of advice. cheers.

50 please

When you say the trade section of the forum do you mean the buy and sell?

Hi all, thanks for the welcome and words of advice. I've already bought my first 2 silver coins from one of the members on here! But as far as stacking gold fractionals (learnt something already lol) is concerned, which website would be the best to go to and is it better to go for bars or coins? and if coins, which ones, for example sovereigns or Britannia's? sorry for all the questions! cheers.

Hi, I know it's a long shot but could you put me on the waiting list please. Thanks.

Hi All Greetings from Wales, I'm a total beginner as far as collecting/stacking goes. For some reason I bought some small gold bars from Bullion by Post (probably not the best place to buy from!) a few weeks ago. I got a Pamp 1g and 5g, once they arrived I suddenly got the bug! I've now got a Nadir 1 oz silver bar, 2 x 2021 silver Britannia's a 2021 1 oz silver Krugerrand and a 2021 1 oz silver Panda. My Mrs thinks I've gone a bit nuts lol. I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing so joined this forum in the hopes of learning how to collect and stack properly without getting ripped off. I originally thought of it as an investment but really like the look of the coins I've got so wouldn't mind collecting too, but as I said I know f~*$ all! Any advice along the way would be gratefully received. Cheers P.S Are proof coins/sets worth buying from an investment point of view or are they just for collectors who like them?
