Hello from Swindon, UK!

[AWM]

Hello All!

Just a brief introduction! My name is Adrian, I'm 38 and I intend to spend a bit of time of this forum so it felt like a good move to introduce myself! I've been interesting in starting a collection of bullion for some time but have only just recently made the leap into doing so.

I've just placed my second order and hope to take advantage of buying silver from the EU for a while before Brexit kills our VAT-Free route to buy.

I have a relatively small stack going, at the moment. My strategy going forward will likely bore most of you: I intend to keep UK minted, legal tender with minimal premiums. The reason being to:

A) Move my not-real-money into something tangible.

B) Insulate against inflation.

C) Measure of last resort if things go badly wrong.

When I receive my second order, I will have a small, 100oz stack of Silver in the form of Britannias.

I hope to keep a small amount of platinum and gold also - though in the case of Pt this is purely because I like the metal, it's more scarce than gold and has more applications.

Once I have a fairly decent base to start from, I may start looking to diversify and get some bars and non-British, non-legal tender coins. But for now I want to get started building up a good base of CGT-free bullion.

I'll stop there, I'm sure you guys see plenty of these! But thank you for the forum and the advice I've seen thus far.

 

Kindest Regards,

Adrian.
