Although a sovereign man at heart, this coin is incredible and I think I would call it my best for 2022. The silky satin toning, in very deep blues and purples at the rim of the coin grading across the fields to the soft greys, pinks and gold tinge of the cameo’s, particularly on the Victoria side are very satisfying
 
Happy New Year everyone.

1881-C India Victoria 1 One Rupee Prooflike Calcutta Mint 

... and the reverse:

With tiny incuse letter "C" almost hidden on lowest flower.
This seems to be a rare date mintmark combination.
 

This is mine, I still wear it, it gets a wash in the shower. It was my husband's aunty's she worn every day. Definitely wouldn't part with it 

Still works for me though.
For example, when I returned from my first ski chalet holiday, my wife asked me "Did you sleep with the chalet girls".
My answer, without hesitation: "Not a wink!"
😎

Welcome aboard firstly. 
As @dicker says ,trawl the previous threads and completed sales posts on here,the information you will absorb without trying is worthwhile. 
As @GoldDiggerDave says, stay away from bars until you have built a foundation and have a better understanding if what you're buying. 
@Lyrinn has mentioned a compare tool but I believe you need to be a paid member to use it, on that note my advice is to buy at least a silver membership and for £5.99 a month it will pay for itself in money saved compared to dealers. 
Act fast enough and you will grab bargains on here most days of the week. 
if primarily focusing on gold then stick to either 1oz gold coins or sovereigns, both low premium and CTG free.. then when you get a better understanding you can get a little more variety. 
When it comes to sell, you will realise a better price by selling on here if you have followed the steps above. By introducing yourself and taking part in discussions you will gain trust from fellow members, and likewise you will get a feel for who you can trust. 
The forum is full of knowledge on most subjects so tapping into that knowledge is a positive effect of interaction. You will get out of the forum what you put in. As @Scootermuppet mentioned, it can be quite addictive, so whatever you imagine your budget to be over the next few years ( double it😂)
Best of luck in you're journey and enjoy. 

If I was you I would get hold of gold digger Dave on this forum he offers A very good service even if it's just for your peace of mind

Mine is genuine it came from a lady that wouldn't have imitations. I had a jeweller look at it about 6 years ago  when I renewed the chain. It's a lovely piece

Well @MrJootta welcome to the forum.
Be advised there's some cunning stunts (and that's a euphemism), that does go in on in the world of the silver forum.
I for one. Who likes to sit and home, knit and crochet, watch repeats of Mrs Marble, go mad sometime and open up a half bottle of blue nun wine, collect the odd 1/4oz of silver coin when I can afford it every 3 months. There will be many people here, who deal, who have very powerful hoovers, do be wary.
Enjoy the forum, tis a place of knowledge, if you like the odd shiny coin or 3.

Hello all, I'm Jootta from the Portuguese lands, work in IT and after been exposed to a bunch of financial data and world events, decided to start stacking and collecting coins, already got a few coins in my vault, a few silver Britannia’s and gold sovereigns also a few Euro silver proof celebration coins there were given to me by family over the last 15 years
 
Looking forward to contribute to this forum, anything i can help feel free to reach out

Grail crown off the list for me. 🙂

Bought me some Red Dragons from the Chinese Myths & Legends Series. They look gorgeous!

Could I please go on list don't mind what number thanks

Placed a little order with Tavex to see how it would go. All pretty straightforward, next day delivery and nicely packaged. 

I have been blown away by the communities kindness and generosity of late on atleast 4 different occasions all of which unprompted.
I have decided to pay it forward in a similar style to something i had done a few months back in the form of a give away. Anyone can enter wont cost you anything and no particular knowledge of coins needed just good old fashion luck.
I have been saving loose change in 50p,£1 and £2s for a few month now to put towards a dated sovereign for a run.
Il attach pictures of daughters piggy bank in question, closest guess to amount wins and no multiple guesses of the same number if i dont clock 2 of the same numbers claimed il take the 1st person who called it.
Prize is a free 1oz silver britannia i cover 1st class recorded.
I did recorded a time lapse of the coins being counted but phone slipped and caught none of it and im not counting them out again haha. 
 
Draw ends friday so enough folk have time to enter say 9pm 
Edit *to promote the random surprises life sometimes throws you*

I use silver trader all the time, great prices,  well packed and fast delivery
