Hi,

I'm new in the forum and gold stacking. My first piece is a 2021 panda (bought last week). My kids love pandas, and I thought that would be nice to give it to them when they'll turn 18 (so it's worth paying the premium on this). Since then, I bought couple of Sovereign, but waiting to buy more if Gold dipped . I would like to have couple of Britannia, the new ones look great.

For me it was a 1 gram pamp bar, I was kind of disappointed on the actual size after it arrived.

They always look bigger in the marketing!

Had the same disappointment with the first sovereign I ordered, it came in a bigger package with 20 silver 1 oz coins (which are pleasantly big in hand, no disappointment there). After I opened the box and counted all silver coins, I was still looking around for the main attraction and couldn't find it, it was so small and it got stuck in a corner of the box...

It looks nice and big with a loupe though  .

Also got into this from Queen's Beasts - first was a present 1/4 ouce unicorn!

Only wish i had purchased more back dated ones back then, as now finding it very difficult to complete the set in both 1 ouce and 1/4 ouce.

Any tips on where to buy would be great - I've already bought the ones from Royal Mint and Atkinsons...

My first ever gold coins (2) were huge!!! 1/20th Ounce Isle of Man Angels from Pobjoy Mint in 1997 ... paid £29.99 each for them... then i never bought again until last year then discovered fine Silver and got hooked... in 2 months i'd bought about 60oz of silver and currently sitting with 21 1gm gold bars i'm going to flip ... got carried away with lockdown... and i now know im related to a magpie as i cant resist shiny things..

Set up alerts on Chards, Hatton Garden Metals, Atkinson and ATS bullion website when they have stock you will be sent an email alert. I am holding onto my stack QBs for a couple years hoping gold price appreciate, premium appreciation potentially the passing of the head of monarchy could see QB coins significantly increase in value. I do believe lot of 1 oz 1/4 Gold QB coins come back onto the secondary market when the price is right.....

As someone on a limited budget my first piece of physical gold is 1/10th ounce Britannia - oofftt at the premium but hey. Bit of an impulse buy (the worst I suppose) but I now own my first piece of gold.

Wow.... mine was two 1g gold bars from BBP. Came loose in tiny coin holders!! Talk about a shock to the system!! I knew they would be small but bugger me, loose they are  ridiculously small! Still got them both..... I paid too much to sell them on. 

Live and learn but they were enough to get me hooked
