I'm new, so saying hi as it is only polite

Hi all.

I am Janine from the UK, looking to buy gold and silver.

Been watching YouTube for some years now on the subject so thought I might as well get stuck in.

Hoping to learn a lot from you lot. Hoping to enjoy the community life too.

Stay safe and thank you for reading.

Thank you for such a warm welcome

So, where is a good place for a newbie like me to start? I am eager to learn and begin collecting. A shove in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I would spend a few weeks looking at the trade section of the forum to work out what you like and get an idea of prices. Then ideally upgrade to silver membership so that you can see the best deals as soon as they come out (you will save a fortune on here compared to ebay).

IMO Don't make my mistake by purchasing loads of random coins. It takes up lots of space and gets messy. Also beware, there are a lot of novelty coins out there that wont necessarily give you a premium when you come to sell (colourised coins). I have spent years focussing my collection down so now I only collect 10oz Britannia bars and Britannia coins. Unlike what some might say, the price of silver/gold wont suddenly shoot up so don't rush purchases (discipline is key here!).
