Irresistible.

Stamp collecting has died a death i have read somewhere. Probably not a great investment sadly . I spent and lost a fortune on football programmes over the years . If only i had collected Sovereigns instead.  At least with gold and silver coins there is always the value of the metal.

You are supposed to ask the newbie question, now. Sovereigns or quarter Britannias?

The answer is Sovereigns.

Hello and welcome. Eating chocolate... Mmmm. Now that's my kind of hobby. Welcome onboard buddy

Welcome.

About a year ago I would have recommended you buying your bullion from Atkinsons Bullion.

Why? glad you asked.

Because with each order they would include a chocolate coin. In fact when I placed an order sometimes it was only because of the chocolate coin that I placed the order.

Alas they no longer do this.

Been using ATS for a while now, always a great service they only sell what they have in stock, no nonsense of waiting for delivery.

They also include a chocolate token 😉
