Honestly not dancing on anyone’s hopes or dreams here,  if gold gained 50% or likewise lost 50% from the time you bought it would this swing either way be life changing?   

Agreed, but the odd holiday or treat in retirement on the back of saving from something that’s nice to hold in your hand in the meantime would be satisfying.

There'll be more than a few here who remember around £700 in mid-2015 during the life of this forum. Is it really 8 years? It only seems like yesterday, but still, it's a decent enough time and will be before the majority here started stacking.

No idea where I'm going with this but it's nice to reminisce and £175 sovereigns has a lot to recommend it. 😁

Good to see you back Steve

Thanks for the informative information and the books options - as I will read up and try get familiar and then might go for the 4th Ed Spink 2020 to start with 👍🏽 Thanks buddy!!

The 2020 edition of Spink will suffice in terms of information- the latest edition will provide a more up to date price guide- prices have jumped exponentially since 2020- and you can take with a pinch of salt price guides when it comes to the higher grade examples! 
Auction sites such as Noonans, London Coins, Spink, Hosker Haynes, Baldwins etc. etc are also great resources as well as specialist online dealers. 

Last two- anyone interested at £70 posted?

I hadn't realised until seeing this that the 2021 was available in both 22k and 24k!

Yes- the 2022 issues were also available in both fineness too- but not the inaugural Charles III so I have stuck to the 22ct.

Dear all, to address this, I saw the adverts on facebook but was looking for buyers before pulling the trigger. Due to the fact the amounts involved would put me under too much pressure to purchase without already having a buyer lined up.

Obviously I was going to make sure I had in hand prior to any deal. The person is 15mins away from me so I was planning on going down there on Saturday. I can’t comment on if that’s a legit profile or not as I took it as good faith because she said she is having a child soon.

I saw an opportunity, or at least I thought I did with a valid reason for sale. Come Saturday I may be the one who looks clever when I go down to Great Dunmow & meet her. So I’d ask people to wait first before making assumptions.

I get where you’re coming from, if it had been a year ago I’d have had the cash when I came across it but the past couple of months things have got tighter. So it’s a case of needs must. I know that’s not the case for most on here as there’s a lot of deep pockets but still.

I really don’t know why you would write this drivel- I’m speechless

That's fair tbh, but I can assure you it works, if in doubt just ask for vouches of prospective buyers on here.

@richatthecroft cheap set

Thanks James, but I already have this 2020 Set- but a great price for someone 👍 

@Roy take your capital back and reinvest the £12k by hoovering up as many Memorial and Coronation Proof Sovereign issues as you can find at the current depressed prices and tuck them away for a few years 😎

Nice profit by the way 👍 

I remember when someone here on the forum- I can’t remember who-sussed out on 6th March 2019, that  Hatton Garden Metals were offering 1oz Gold Queen’s Beasts Lions for £1036 each- members here on TSF hammered the ‘deal’.  
At the time, Gold Price was £978- so a 6% premium, which was unheard of for a QB.  
I bought, and paid for mine, but they didn’t honour the price for anyone- they contacted me by telephone to explain it was a mistake- following my protest to the salesperson she offered to make amends and bought me off, with a discount on the premium of 1x Victoria YH Shield.
