Just hit a major milestone today, over the 1kg fine weight in gold
 
Current stack total is now 1002g or 32.23oz
 
This month Ive grabbed -
 
1/10 Britannia
1/10 Krugerand
1/10 Guernsey double
1890 full sov
1913 Prussia 20 Mark
1909 20 Franc
 
Now just ordered up an Austrian 100 Corona from Atkinson's tipping me over the edge -
 

 
Will add some real pics when it gets delivered (hopefully tomorrow)

I'd go for a "type" collection to start with, an example of each monarch head and each reverse.
So working backwards:
Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Diamond Jubilee G&D 2012 (you have this already)
Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Single Year G&D 2005 (you have this already)
Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Golden Jubilee Shield 2002 (you have this already)
Elizabeth II Fourth G&D 1998 - 2015  (1998 and 1999 proofs only)
Elizabeth II Third Portrait G&D 1985 - 1997 (All these as proofs only, you may want to exclude this head)
Elizabeth II Second Portrait G&D 1974 - 1984 (None in 1975 and 1977, 1983 and 1984 proof only)
Elizabeth II First Portrait G&D 1957 - 1968 (None in 1960 and 1961)
George V  G&D  1911 - 1932
Edward VII  G&D 1901 - 1910  
Victoria Old (Widow) Head  G&D  1893 - 1901
Victoria Jubilee Head G&D  1887 - 1893
Victoria Young Head G&D  1871 - 1887
Victoria Young Head Shield  1838 - 1887
and then backwards through William IV, George IV to George III
 
Trouble is, this is more than 10 types for the 10 spaces in your case. You'll either have to rationalise or get another box.

well you've got the three expensive ones, the other most recent years should be easy to get. Then you need to start at 1900 and work backwards!

LOL, no just a slight tweak....   As I have said many a time, I have a very strong collector gene, that has to be satisfied. But I also have to be disciplined in my stacking. So the bulk of my stack is dirt cheap allocated silver with bullion vault, easy to buy, even easier to sell. I will buy a smaller amount of physical silver bullion, (maples phillies etc) a sort of "just in case scenario". But for fun, I have decided to do a small bit of "collecting" for fun. But it will only be at a price I am comfortable with, and if it takes 15 years to complete my sets, then so be it. So I have decided to collect the following. RAM Crocs. Stock horses, Silver Shield Lunars, ASE proofs, Brit proofs, and silver £1 and £2 UK coins. I could probably complete all these sets for about £4k or £5k which over 15 years, (plus yearly new issues) is bugger all in the great scheme of things.
 
I'm not going to get into Perth Mint stuff. That is the Devils brew and a slippery slope to full blown collecting and an empty wallet
