A super big thank you to @James32 for this little haul, and a few added pieces which so kind despite my bank being a nightmare transferring funds. Another great asset to TSF community.

Today's parcel collection 😍

They have been selling on average here in the UK for £700 including completer coin (11 coins total with a display box)
So I'd imagine somewhere between $800/$850 would be achievable in the US.. maybe slightly more due to being non native coins. 

I feel this advice is going to age poorly. Don’t own cash currently. Really?

Sorry, but i couldn;'t resist posting another pic of the dice from @BackyardBullion
(other alcoholic beverages are available!)
 

Actually pretty buzzing. The only way must be up. Hoping to pick up some sovereigns at these lower prices but I’ll be trying pawn shops and scrap gold dealers as they can set prices on the spot usually just a few % over spot and can be negotiated 

I have read this a few times,  I did exactly the opposite that you are proposing, I did not over pay into a pension, i overpaid my mortgage while it was cheep……for me the whole idea of paying all my savings to someone then they can tell me how much I can have is just an insane concept.  AKA a pension.
 
Id rather own my property out right before I was 40 and have zero debt, and then use a few years to hard save.  Allowing for inflation for enough saved to last the next 25 years and with higher interests rates on my ISA’s I’m laughing, holding cash does not cost me anywhere close to 10% per year as I have very little exposure to inflation, no mortgage, free heating, can cook/bake on £90 per months for 2 if I have to, and only do about 3000 miles a year in my car, can get this down to sub 2000 miles if I cycle a bit more.  Even with the crazy hikes up prices of energy it only £108 per month and I’m well over paying and getting into credit every month, my mates bill is £420 per month so it’s a case how well you can manage your exposure to inflation that will determine how much it your cash savings you will lose if any……….at 4.6% fixed for 2 years on my isa is covering almost all my fixed outgoings per year council tax, energy, food, if you are not paying a mortgage and income off other investments cover your fixed out goings I consider that a fantastic proposition for anyone. 
 
paying pensions is just handing other people control of  your wealth and keeps you turning up to that job for 50 years. 

Mate if you are in your 30’s you will never see a return on what you have paid in to your pension all your life, you will have to live to 84 just to break even if you are lucky.  
 
I paid my mortgage off before I was 38, the best decision I ever made, I’m 46 now and not really worked for the last 3 years, and have savings around 17 years out goings allowing for inflation and interest rates are in the up🤗 
 
The dream of a pension keeps you turning up to work every Monday morning, 

@LawrenceChard that was beautiful and very uncharacteristically straightforward for you. I'm sitting here feeling all warm and fuzzy with pride ( possibility it could be high blood pressure though) 😅 
@RRH87 you won't go far wrong following @MonkeysUncle or  Lawrence's advice, the latter has been handling sovereigns since they had a 50 pence face value. 
Only thing I will add is.. never try and time the market, spread your buying out over the year ( little and semi often will keep you right) this way you will cost average yourself into a healthier position longterm. 

If you're thinking of bullion coins then you're spot on on all counts 
Proofs however are limited quantities and sell out quickly. 

Majority of the gold stack. My other deposit box doesn't have quite as much although it's catching  

Some very impressive stacks on here.
Here's my collection, started this year after cycling out of crypto. Got a 5Kg bar currently on order and then I'm done.

If i do owe any feedback it will be a tenner a pop folks

Yeh i always let a buyer know it has arrived or give tracking for a seller I am just not good on my after sale care feedback lol
