I’m still buying Morgan’s (but only nice ones) and the occasional Kook.
Other than that no silver these days.  

Dear TSF,
Just thought I’d share the reasons I started my precious metals buying journey, and how I’ve deviated away from my original goals. 
I decided to start buying Gold and Silver several years ago, as a form of savings plan for my family and I. Specifically as a nest egg for my two small boys, who are 5 and 8. I thought by the time they’re 18 they’ll have a good amount. 
My plan was to buy monthly what I could afford and buy 999 gold or silver, or sovereigns. This was working well and I built up quite a stack. However as time went on I got lured into buying more collectible and premium pieces. 
I’ve realised that I’m not a collector and that I’ve been led astray from my original goals by the shiny metal. If something was to happen to me, the last thing I want is my family having to deal with getting the best price for the premium coins. I want them to be able to cash in easily and quickly if they need the cash. 
So I’ve decided that I’m going to stay away from highly collectible and proof coins (unless I get them at normal bullion prices) and stick to how I started. I’ll start selling the collectibles bit by bit, and putting the funds into my original purchasing requirements. 

I’ve also decided to substantially downsize my silver stack, as I have just too much, and storing it is becoming a hassle. 
Just wondering if anyone else has been on a similar buying journey or if anyone has any further advice?

Doing a fun little comparison of dealer buy back prices (as published on their websites). 
I have also included what I see as competitive prices here on the silver forum for sellers. 
Makes for interesting reading for sure!
 
 

Being it is a proof coin, they tend to be slighly tighter. The edges are slightly higher which makes them thicker. Go for the air tite capsules with foam ring

They seem to have omitted Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the survey…..

I agree with the above in that the RM has produced some absolute shockers honouring members of the royal family.  Even worse has come from Alderney etc.
The RM lost me as a customer a long time ago with their poor quality, copper mushy Sovs and lack of imagination.
