Welcome to the forum! 🤘😜🤘

as @James32 said, carded is ok and 10g is a good start but this will undoubtadly cost you over £500.
i'd go for a good quality 1/4 gold brit in a cap..... 
great coin AND so much more detail than a bar and of course you can touch it...
people do tend to leave carded bars in their packaging so the feel of touching what you own isnt the same and brits are very liquid too so easy to move on if you need to and well under £500.00 for nearly 8 grams 

Another point about recent (generally 2021 onwards) Britannias is that they have security features that might give you extra confidence (although, as James32 says, the key point is buying from a reputable source). There are many videos on Youtube which cover this if you search for something like "Gold Britannia security features".
Edit: maybe try this one:
 

Welcome aboard james.
Firstly, there's nothing wrong with a 10g bar, that's a very healthy start. If you are only buying because you think they are safer than coins, they are not unfortunately. Please make sure to buy from a reputable source, someone on here with good feedback and activity levels ( unfortunately carded gold is heavily faked) and can easily fool new stackers, due to it being carded and and our unwillingness to remove from packaging. 
Sovereigns or 1/4oz britannias are another option and CGT free, whilst they may make you nervous now, as long as your buy from the correct sources ( your effectively buying their experience too) so there nothing to worry about, as long as you do your due diligence. 
Coins also offer a learning experience, the history and you learning to measure and weigh them etc,it's all part of the fun.
Any help needed whatsoever and don't be shy to ask, there's someone on here with the answer to the question yet to be asked.

Just wanted to say hello. I am totally new to buying/selling gold. I am planning my first purchase, after some research I think a 10g gold bar. I understand coins are good but don't know enough about them, so kinda nervous with them. 
I hope to learn and grow with you all and please let me apologise in advance for any newbie moments, I'm sure they will be many however, I hope one day I will benefit at least one of you. 
Any advice, tips or guidance is most welcome. 
Thanks for reading my post.
