Fractional Gold Ideas

[EddieC]

Only started collecting last year (silver so far) but want to add to gold in. Collecting for long term to pass on to my 2 boys. Looking ideally around £150 ish per coin (as need to buy 2 each time). What do people suggest?

UK based.

Half sovs. Next question. 😂

[RoughDog]

Purchase one at a time and get a full sov.

Half Sovereigns. You won't get much of a different answer.

Half sovereigns or 1/10th oz gold coins such as Britannia’s or Canadian Maples (the latter slightly cheaper). The 1/10th oz Britannia’s post 2013 are 24ct gold and are 3.11g but spend a bit more and you’ll get fractionally more gold in a half sovereign but they are 22ct. 

Personal choice I suppose but any of the above would be a good place to start.

I suggest asking the boys to select what they'd like, from somewhere with a wideish range like Atkinson or Celticgold.

Bit difficult at 4 and 2.5 but I know what you mean. Already got some silver coins which they will love (Gruffalo, Giants of the Ice Age).

Cheers for the responses all. Much appreciated.

Sovereigns or 1/4 ounce Brits. I don't think you need to buy two each time, just accumulate weight and then divide it when the time is right. You'll pay a higher premium the smaller the coin.

I like @Melon suggestion of dividing it when the time is right - and why not get a selection of different coins shapes and weights. Go for Britts, Krugs, sovs, Pandas, Maples - 1/10s, 1/4s, halves and full ounces. Then when you give them to the boys it will be like one of those chocolate coin bags we buy at Christmas and they can have fun with their pirate treasure 😆
