Hello All,

 

I've been lurking around the forums for a couple of weeks and liked what I saw, especially some of the completed trades vs some of the dealer and RM prices...!

 

I'm a fan of coins but have never gone full on, the amount of searching to finish my olympics 50p collection and the price of lost opportunity (was at the games and thought, 'I'll just trade for those later' - HUGE mistake!) dented my enthusiasm a little.

 

Having said that I'm interested in knowing my way around a coin and what to look for- I gather that the Marsh book on sovereigns is the authority, are there any more general books to start learning more about coins and bullion?

 

I'm interested in starting a stack too, I'd been hesitant, but looking at the comings and going in the world and the price of gold, and potentially silver, it seems like it might be a good time to get some skin in the game!

 

Recently picked up a silver eagle and silver britannia just to get an idea of the shape and weight in hand that an ounce would be before mixing it up. On that note I searched for the RM's 'digital gold service' but didn't turn up much, has anyone had longer term experience with the service?

 

Kind regards,

 

GR

Hello and welcome to the forum  

I have a RM account, never bothered with the digital service. I like to see what I own, more enjoyable.

Probably wise to look at a few and compare the fees and T&Cs.
