Well I've had to wait for nearly 3weeks for this coin to arrive, but worth it imo. Absolutely love this coin. The details and finish don't really show up in my shoddy pictures.

 

I love it do they do a 1/10th?

Hola

I've had a go as well, no luck looks like sun or moon rising or setting behind mountain

Bit the bullet on this yesterday courtesy of @BleyerBullion super swift service as always... 

That's superb , I buy any gold coins with planes on I can afford regardless of gold content, not yet got a 1/10th with that theme and under £200 bargain I think. Once you get away from Brits, maples , Phillys etc you expect a premium on 1/10ths but as I've said many a time I firmly believe that premium holds up over the long term. Of course that could change but who knows buy them if you like them.

£245 1st signed Inc at buyers risk mucker. 2016 BU. Mintage 3800. Can't take offers on this I'm afraid. The dip and postage has already been accounted for in the price. 

Well as a fellow collector of 1/10th coins of this is one  you want  you just got to bite the bullet. They command an insane premium and that's a fair price. One of those coins that forgot the spot price , for all it's a bullion coin it's a high numastic value.  I hope mine will still be in a box when I shuffle off this mortal coil

So I'm going to add to my 1/10 gold collection. I'm going to add the silver 1oz version and get the same year of each one I have. The hardest to come by and the most pricey is the 50Euro 2008 la semeuse and the ukrainian 1 Hryvnya 2013 archangel Michael. Silly money for them but it's a collection and not a stack. That's how I justify it anyway lol. 

Like that idea mate, thanks for that yet more money to spend 😄

Truthfully ?

Both gold and silver are volatile and are not a particularly good investment. The majority consensus seems to be to invest in gold right now because of the VAT-free status. I would wager that anyone who purchased investment gold in the last 12 months is watching the spot-price drop right now and not feeling particularly clever. It's a similar picture for silver (with, historically, more volatility - which can equate to bigger losses/profits)

My advice would be to look at buying PMs with a value over and above the intrinsic. If you can combine the value of the precious metal with a numismatic element this can off-set price changes. An example would be if you could purchase something like an Edward VII sovereign at bullion prices or earlier Britannia (.958 silver) coins. I'm not going to go into the rabbit hole of pure numismatics - that's collecting, not stacking. 

This only works if you have an exit strategy that doesn't involve selling your stack to a PM dealer. In that case spot price is everything and you'd just as well invest in coffee stocks.

The ideal scenario is to be a collector with a stacker mentality... The pleasure of owning something can mitigate changes in spot. 

That's a great summing up of my approach. 

Lots of good advice, I'm similar in that I'm looking to hold long term, so if it's in the budget any gold coins I can get at spot that I like I scoop I'm only currently buying silver I like all my 1oz.silver coins and bars are different with a few exceptions ie Dragon coins from Perth mint I've the complete run to date and I have a soft spot for Kookaburra coins, otherwise it's hand poured stuff from BYB, Silver Angel,.MOX, Liquid Metals and St Bees, that's the collector urge in me.

I collect most fractional gold coins from Iranian to 1/10th Brits and 1/4 sovereigns.

All that said if I was purely stacking for a pension with no urge to collect them would be sovereigns all the way.

Thought i would share this here also, as i originally posted in another thread! 

Finally got my hands on my charity winnings from @GoldDiggerDave 😆

Amazing to see this in person, and will be bringing it any forum meets for people to hold! What a stunning, one of a kind coin. 

The one, the only, MS63 RD DPL graded 2017 Penny…found on the floor, and now encased in plastic forever!

Keep your eyes peeled for the next charity auction coming soon..

 

Brilliant!

That's so true buddy 👍

If you know of any deals let me know (deals you don't want to purchase for yourselves of course 😉)

Will give you a tag! Not all my 1/10th came from here but a lot did!

Yeah I'm open to some unexpected ones such as that. Sounds like you got some great deals there and some really good buys 👍

Tbf you need a few good deals as a 1/10tj gold collector....make up for the ones you pay insane premium's on. 😆

Just now, jackflash123 said:

Yes I know what you mean. My coins are most certainly all gona be generic bullion versions with no fancy boxes or COA's.

For larger coins, 1/4 oz, sovereigns and above will all be kept with original boxes and receipts wherever possible 😉 

Be surprised mate, I've a proof 1/10th Croc that I got on here for a bonkers good price, bullion price in fact , one of my rounds is bullion but still in omp with receipt from airport in Abu Dhabi I was rather chuffed to pay less for it than original purchase price even though gold was up on recorded date!

I hear what you're saying about the Panda being a must have. And now we have it cleared up about the weight of the coin, before they switched to 30g instead of a Troy ounce, there could be room for a pre-decimalised Panda in my 10 x 1/10th oz gold coins collection.

Got to have a Panda just my opinion of course, but then I like to keep coins as they arrive with me so no tube storage to worry about, those already in caps I sometimes upgrade but if there's a sniff of mint packaging or old receipts etc they stay in that. 

Stick me down on the backup list please 

I went looking for a 2017 proof 1 Oz silver Krugerrand today , thinking of selling mine, lots advertising as proof but close up of COA shows uncirculated.

@sixgun thank you a good write up as always 

I'm back to buying just silver I like to keep for long term , bars, hand poured stuff , the vat and premium is putting me off at the moment, much as Brits at £22 and a 1 kilo bar at £600 are just 2 of the good deals on here today and a reflection of the drop in spot. 

Going MS62

Blimey that's beyond optimistic! I saw 3 of these on the saleroom a few weeks ago. I stopped at £30 a bar Inc fees went way beyond that!
