Everyone should have a double and 5 quid sov in their life...🙂

Full disclosure, I'm no expert on gold prices. But this special offer at Bairds is the lowest price I could find on Gold Krugs.

Upwards or outwards?

Often the elderly who are 'putting something away for the future' as either savings or inheritance.
The marketing is fierce, morally criminal.

I wish this could be the case. The Royal Mint has cultivated the perfect hype/FOMO combination for its releases. Everything from the 1000000s long queues to the anxiety inducing wait to see if your order is confirmed, and then the further anxiety of waiting to see whether you receive a coin that looks like it’s been run over, all of which feeds the hype and FOMO machine.
I feel many people are driven to purchase these modern releases primarily by the fear of missing out on a potential profit, rather than truly liking the coins. For example, the James Bond and Music Legends in my opinion are just complete trash tier releases fed by unworldly amounts of hype and now people who bought to flip are getting badly burned. 
The Royal Mint knows it can churn out utter sh*te and simply get away with it because if I don’t buy next time, there will be some other mug in the online queue who will take my place. There is no incentive for them to change any of the issues you have highlighted in your post.
I nearly blew my stack when I received my 2022 SOTD Sov this morning complete with tank tracks across the obverse. What makes it worse is that they have the bloody nerve to put that little QC sticker in the box! Its the equivalent of seeing your mashed up coin and then being flipped the middle finger directly by the Mint!! 😡
Much like you this has become a watershed moment for me. For the foreseeable I’m going to stick to buying coins that have a bit of history and a story behind them, I always find I enjoy owning these types of coins much more in any case.

You have to be careful with fractionals.

"No... I'm afraid I lost all my gold in a boating accident. Yes, it was the 'Barnard's Castle Annual Remote Control Sailing Regatta' of '22.  I'm afraid I didn't see the replica of the Bismarck before it was too late, what with my poor eyesight. Luckily, they're great with that kind of thing round there - Specsavers on every corner! Didn't help with my 1/10th Britannias though. They're now part of Davy Jones' locker. Well, his petty cash tin at least."

Oh I dunno, I'll have to consult Wonger first.

Another very good acquisitions, beautiful and very elegant french coins.
Unfortunately, my camera should be changed.😁 So, I have added few pictures made by seller (shame on me!).
 
 

Honestly excited, 1st ever 1oz coin I've ever purchased, being bullion I know it may not be in the best condition but i'm hoping for a nice one. Thanks for the help!
 

Off the top of my head, everyone hates Silver so it is probably a buy, Gold is King so is probably a sell and Platinum is about to enter a cyclical bull market due to "supply chain issues" growing industrial demand and long period of under investment in PT mining sector.
In other words... Putin

Golds going up and down more than a whores draws at the moment!

I'm trying really hard *not* to see the beauty of these high value collectable coins. I never come out well when I let my heart rule my head. I settled on bullion sovereigns as they can be sold quickly and without much fuss. I can't see me going too far wrong there.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

The Coin Cabinet take PCGS submissions.
They don’t seem to advertise it particularly well but I’ve had coins graded with PCGS through them.

Used to be big hype about Chinese Pandas a few years ago, which now seems to have died away. I don’t really see what all the fuss was about personally, they look pretty ugly to me.
