When I started my stacking addiction I read lots of reports, listened to podcasts, followed the "experts", looked at the charts etc. etc.
Turns out most of this was B.S. and this is especially so when people look around for reasons to explain very short term PM trends up and also down.
When gold is high the sellers advice is to buy more because it will rise in value.
When gold falls the same sellers will advise this is a great time to buy more to take advantage of a lower price.
I have never seen these people advise to sell because the metal will likely decline in value.
No-one can predict this and hindsight is wonderful for writing blogs and trying to look smart and informed.
If you search around you can always find a geo-political or fiscal event somewhere so just fit that - many will believe this.
It probably doesn't have anything to do with the fluctuations of gold and silver.
The "big greedy bankers" trading using "algorithms" make the markets fluctuate and these folks make money either way, up or down i.e. the first derivative in calculus is good for making fast bucks.
The same holds for trading Forex and stocks & shares.

That's my thinking anyhow but others may disagree.

Holding PMs is a diversification to fiat and is more likely to maintain wealth rather than grow it in terms of purchasing power, whereas fiat loses value daily due to quantitive easing and inflation.

Hi,
All lovely 
2002 / 2005 / 2012 / 2017 / 2022 jubilee / 2022 memorial / 2023 coronation 
7 full sovereigns total.
🍒£3290 posted in two SD packages.🍒 
Average of £470 each posted, surely their worth the small premium.
 

Is there a reason you have started to worry?
There are fake sovereigns out there but they are thin on the ground and dealers will spot the majority that pass through their hands and they will just go in the melting pot
A lot of new stackers get the same concern at some point or another, I did myself.  These days I do not worry about it at all and I would not buy a sigma as I would rather spend the money on more gold.  I do not buy US coins as they are faked quite widely.  I also do not buy bars from places like the perth mint as again a lot of fakes.  But every sovereign I know of that is a fake is still made of gold, and generally at least 21ct but sometimes up to 23ct gold.  If you get a fake, just weight it in.  You may lost a few quid but at the moment with stuff selling at spot the loss would be tiny.
I weigh my coins on some scales that cost me £25 off Amazon, if you get some just make sure you can calibrate them.  I buy older coins mostly so they can be slightly underweight but I know the tolerance and generally know roughly what a coin is going to come out to just based on the wear.  I have some precision callipers too but rarely ever use them, I think maybe 3 times in the years I have had them.  You can also do a gravity test with a jug of water and some scales for an extra check.
Regarding ATS, they are reputable and can be reasonably priced.  No dealer is infallible though, so always worth doing your own due diligence 

ATS should not be a problem - I have had no problem with them.
That said, I check carefully whatever I buy.  

I've bought a couple of gold coins from ATS.
No problems with them at all.
Even got a small choccie in the box with the coins.🤩

Nothing to worry about, they are good bullion dealers. I very much doubt that you get fakes from them

Unsure why so many people were bashing Wonger, I really appreciated his insights as I did the exact opposite and back up the truck and completed my collection of 1oz Gold Queens Beasts collection. Thanks Wonger if you ever decide to visit Manchester let me know I will happy to buy you a pint......

Whatever happened to that post, "Sold all my gold, got stung."?

Don’t stress, it will go away..😮🤔

And don’t forget it did get a wash and polish.
