Hello Silverforum, I've been stacking/collecting for less than a year now (mostly silver Britannia coins, bars and a variety of silver 1 oz coins for fun. I recently picked up some fractional silver as its less common in the UK but what I'm really interested in is semi-numismatic silver coins. Despite watching a lot of content about this subject online and searching online to find out more I have struggled to understand how to value coins. I've been looking for low-mintage coins but many seem to be from obscure countries so I wanted to ask if there is a way to predict which ones will have the best re-sale. Be it through the designs aesthetic, popularity of the subject matter, or low mintage, are there any rules to follow? For example will a government backed, low mintage coin (under 50K say) always be a good but at close to spot price or will some just have no re-sale due to obscurity of the nation? Or is it mostly based on how popular the design becomes over time which you can judge by the hype surrounding its release? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm mostly stacking weight by buying bars, but I collect for fun and like the hobby if finding more rare coins but understanding their future value is very difficult and daunting when buying. Thanks

Are these on your website?

Can I get the geiger bar please?

I always look at prices in our local one but find bullionbypost are almost always the cheapest price. Buying gold and silver second hand from this forum has been an absolute game changer though. No more VAT on silver or high premiums and you can do it securely with payment protection. I have no idea why anyone buys retail now as it’s such a waste of money and they give you a terrible price when selling back to them too. Many members have their own online store so you can protect yourself like buying anywhere else and you receive it in the post the next day. Much better to get more plum for your money than paying Costco imo.
