Today I received my first 1oz gold coin. Feels big & beautiful compared to the 1/4oz! I also didnt know that they do “QC” on bullion.

Just arrived, joining its brethren, didn't think it would be so low in the mintage but I'm not arguing.

I would only buy coins that are actually 'in stock'. As newbie avoid those that say 'orderable'. Clearly you've been looking at Chards but they do charge delivery so that increases your overall costs. There are better priced dealers out there with free postage. Sharps pixley looks good at the moment but do your own research.

Hi there guys.
I am new to buying metals, so please be kind if what Im asking is irritatingly noobish.
Im based in the UK, and want to turn some of my bank digits in to physical wealth in the form of gold with the intention to hold, not to regularly buy and sell. At the moment, I plan to start off with buying 5 full sovereigns from a reputable Uk website..... But the thing is, they have 3 options. "Mint", "Secondary", and "Grade C".
Minty = £309.27 - Gold weight 0.235 Troy oz
Secondary = £308.38 - Gold weight 0.235 Troy oz
Grade C = £297.49 - Gold weight 0.2328 Troy oz
Intrinsic value £294.54
Im not bothered at all from scratches and dents as I quite like it when coins have these, it gives character and makes you wonder about their pasts. Furthermore I won't view my gold purchases as an investment for money making purposes, but purely just for wealth protection.
So.......
1. Am I best off going with the grade Cs - If I were to change them back to fiat in years to come, will they really undercut me big time because its dented etc? - They will afterall have at least more than 0.23 oz of gold inside them. (Note: I did say I do not care about profiting, but at the same time I would like value for money)
2. Would sovereigns even be the best way for me to go - Being not fussed about CGT, are there non-British coins out there with better premiums and bang for buck that I can buy and sell as close as possible to spot as possible?
Any responses will be kindly appreciated!
Best regards,
O.

100 oz of the 1 oz Rectangle Dragon 2021.
This design might become the most popular of the series so far imo.
1 oz gold version ordered as well.

One regular from 'forum favourites' H&B and my first Double from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer - with extra pics demonstrating the importance of getting the 'right' light when photographing gold!
