Welcome. Only been at it a short time too. 

I will keep this short and sweet. 

Buy on here not on Ebay. Buy from people that have a decent reputation. 
over £200 pay for special delivery.
buy silver if its under £18 & gold if its under £1300
Silver will go up and down so wait - gold will do that with major turns in the bond and socio economic space. 
Buy Soverigns & Brittanias in gold. Best is ince a month budget depending and if spot is reasonable. 
If it hits a bear market little and often, if its in a bull market buy on the lows, sell on highs. 

Buy Queens Beast, Britannias & some other silver depending on preferences. Capitale gains tax exempt. 
collectible proofs, good deals and graded items may differ. 
Dont disclose personal information on posts and keep you profile secret. 
consider getting into mining stocks - you will make more money especially now. 

Thats about it. :)

Hello voy and welcome. 

All depends on budget and why you want to do it? There seems to be many different ways to achieve the same thing.

Leverage, when metals and comodities go up miners go up even more! Miners use leveraged mining. So they will hoard when prices are cheap and sell when prices are high - making more profit!

Have a look on you tube and put in comodoties super cycle also throw but of inflation - Tadah!

Stacktastic will happily talk to you all day long about it :) but i am  busy working in IT shouting at people to turn on and turn off thier computer off!

But youd need to be a member to see the gold miners etc stock picks I believe!

Why are the queens beasts so popular?? How is buying/ selling done on here?? 
 

Proofs are best grade of mintage and the amount are restricted. done by the royal mint. they are also capital gains tax free.

There are 3 grades:

Proof Best grade

Brilliant uncirculated 

Bullion - lowest quality but cheapeast and you get more bang for ya buck if you stack!

Brittainia's and Queens beasts and gold soveriegns are they way to go.

Would you like one? 😎

Technically, alcohol is a solution..

'It [socialism] poses a growing threat, however unintentional, to the freedom of this country, for there is no freedom where the State totally controls the economy. Personal freedom and economic freedom are indivisible. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t lose one without losing the other.'

Hello. If you're new you could start by looking on a couple of the reputable dealers websites and the sales section in this forum to get an idea of what prices coins are compared to spot and get a feel for what people like to buy. 

To start you off you have the spot price of the metal displayed at the top of the page. Any gold or silver you buy let's say a 1 oz coin in either metal will cost this plus the dealers premium then perhaps applicable taxes like vat on silver in the UK then postage costs perhaps. 

So... For 1 oz of gold 

Spot + premium + vat + postage

As I type spot price is £1325

£1325 + £66.25 5% premium + 0 vat + 8 postage

Would mean £1399.25 is your cost to purchase 

For silver it might be 

£20 spot+ £10 premium + £6 vat + £8 postage =£44 

Generally if investing for bullion value you want to buy close to spot as possible but also consider some items might be easier to sell than others
