Gildeon

I would buy the first coins to complete 1-2 sets and then larger quantities of the current ones, with minimum premium, hoping they will follow the same path of appreciation.

little and large... if anyone knows what age  these bars I’d love to know. 

i got one bar and then i was asked to get a couple more. Nice.

Landed back 

I recieved my awesome second box from @Alun So gorgeous!  
My "PETS" now have a new home to nestle in! Thanks a million Alun
Baby ones nestle alongside their "BIG BRO's"!😍

You like Kooks...I got Kooks... sorry they are not nicely stacked..I need to have a sort out.
I can take some proper phots of any particular coin if anyone is ineterested. They are all 1oz coins with lots of Privies. 

Sorry about the pictures. 
But my BYB 10.12oz ripple bar arrived today and I cannot wait until tomorrow when the sun is shining to show this beautiful piece of art,
also stamped VR46 after my hero Valentino Rossi Moto GP legend. 
Muchas gracias a todo la familia de BYB.

The last coin to complete my 10oz Lunar 1 BU serie. Collecting goal for 2018 accomplished 👌🏻 
 

A late 70s 50gm Italian silver bar with awesome toning, more casino silver strikes and a few early year Brits to nearly complete my all years set

That is a proof, what would make you think otherwise?

Sure, it was your avatar that confused me! 😉
I ask because I'm in my 6th decade of life and I don't know what is around the corner. 
I always read 'for the long term' or 'for my kids' yet it's alien to me. I haven't had that option.
Wait. What? Gold has been available for ever so why are people stacking 'for the long term' now when there wasn't that option before?
It seems that silver and gold have become the greatest asset class available. Well, since 2011 that is.
Don't give your kids gold. They know less what to do with it than you do. Should they leave it to their kids?
Use your gold. Buy bricks and mortar and land when everyone else has to sell. Spend it when it's most wanted.
As for inheritance, don't die a rich man. 😉

I think you done the correct thing because you were invested in something you didnt understand. 
Selling a long term investment on current thinking doesnt make sense to me. If you can be swayed with current world situations it was never a long term investment i dont think.

Received a couple of 90% coins today and with the 2 Franklin's added now completes my tube of them now on to barber dimes 

Ordered 1 oz and 1/2 oz gold reverse proof Libertads

Haha

I thought that was the one with the owl! 😁

No, that’s the full pregnancy and ready for breast feeding one...no offense intended. 😊

Proof Britannia

The 2018 Royal Mint Advent Calendar, The Nutcracker...with Gold Sovereigns, look to be more £5 sized which is even better! OK, so they are chocolate Gold Sovereigns. 😁

Also, perhaps along the festive season, Christmas, and The Nutcracker...a 1989 Palladium Russian Ballerina! Very nice first in diversifying PMs!
