Hi.... Another annoying Newbie

[Austinmaxi555]

 Hi im Martin I have only just yesterday  got into silver. My daughter's birthdays are coming up and I wanted to give them some way of saving for the future, that they couldn't dip in to for a can of monster from the one stop. We have always lived pretty much hand to mouth so have had to start very small. (Laughingly small) with 4 pre 1920 sixpences and 6 valcambi 1g bars. I'm aware that I have probably paid way too much but I had to start somewhere.

Wishing you all the best and I'm looking forwards to learning from you.

Hello Martin, welcome to TSF!

My daughter saves in silver, though she sounds quite a bit younger than yours. One of the best approaches you can take is to save your cash until you have a good amount (that might even be just £100) then buy as many 1toz coins as you can. The more you buy at once, the less it's going to cost you. Then you can hand out coins from a small supply you have. Doing it piecemeal also means you get an excuse/opportunity to impart some advice and knowledge about hard money… which is maybe more important than the metal itself.

Welcome to the forum Martin

Nothing annoying about being a newbie... we all started somewhere and given the breadth of this hobby we're all still constantly learning.

You're doing well with the 6 pences I'd say. Older silver content coins are a great way to get in to this on a budget. There are deals that come up regularly on here at spot price so be worth keeping an eye out!
