littlesilvervw got a reaction from cornishrich in Complete Noob in need of help
i have been stacking for nearly a year now and i am starting to find that problem, especially if you have coins in cases. i have seen various suggestions for storage ranging from plastic tubs from home bargains to a metal case for poker chips. i don't think there is anything wrong buying items you like, just keep an eye on the premiums and shop around. i have a few pieces i know i will never sell, but the main thing is have fun with it. i have bought a few floating frames to display some of the coins as it seemed a shame for them to be boxed up.

You might want to start reading about silver and gold coins, watch some Youtube videos and read many of the very interesting posts in the various sections of this forum.
Do this before you make any purchases as you don't want to fall into any traps.
Just be careful - and if you are going to start buying silver coins familiarise yourself with the most common and popular coins.
Before you buy any maybe enter a request in the UK trade section.
Lastly - sovereigns I am sure you know are 22 carat ( 91.66% gold ) gold coins and will cost about £360 each at the moment or a lot more depending on the supplier.
For the same amount of money you could buy about 20 x 1 ounce silver coins.
A sovereign is about the size of a one pence coin and to a new stacker might be kind of scary relating what's in your hand, hoping you don't drop it and loose it in the pile of your carpet, to what you just paid for it.
