Nice coin, I have one but don't stack them as sovs are better value... can't beat £200 off though!

True but it just seems to me like the premiums on sovereigns currently aren't following the spot price I’ve become accustomed to paying £320-330 for a sovereign during lockdown so paying £370+ Isn’t something I'm prepared to do.

1/12/21 Was the last time I had a price like that, £336 for a sovereign (£1430/Toz) when the gold price at the time was about £1342.

To me the premiums are comparable between now and then at around 6%.

This month's regular purchase was a George V Sovereign and a bit of small gold for the Nusantara stack, taking advantage of Tavex's low spreads on small fractionals. Maybe I'll pick up another cheeky sov or two here if they come up.

Just added this massive bar to the stack - 😍

I bought 3 of these coins, I think they look unique.....

Fiji 2022 $1 1oz Silver Welsh Dragon NGC MS70 Dragons of World Label

Today I bought my first ever 1/4 oz gold coin (just a 2023 bullion Britannia).
I got 1/10th oz coins before and a 5g bar.

When it arrives (plus my Silver Forum 1oz round) I'll have reached my targets for my first year stacking in both gold & silver with 1 month to spare.
That was 1oz of gold & 1 kilo of silver.

First purchase was last December.

I'll be doing my best Gollum impression over 'my precious' little stack & breaking out the hot chocolate when they arrive 🙂

Well done, Essendie, keep collecting.

Thanks 🙂

My plan for next year is 2oz gold & 1kg silver.

I've nearly got enough for the first 1/4oz of gold already.

I feel like I have picked up so many interesting coins (most are stack ones, but I also have a small list of coins I want to keep forever & got a couple of those, but no rare ones as of yet) in just one year - it's hard to believe this time last year the only coins I had were the change I kept to tip deliveroo & taxi drivers.

[Keithoil]

Thanks for that Essendie.

I still buy silver the Australian lunar series, but just cannot get hold of the 5 0z coins.

I also buy  pre 1920 and pre 1947 now and again.

I di buy two full sovereigns a while back at £312 each, but it is getting a tad expensive.

Good luck with your stacking/collecting for 2023.

Cheers 

Keith.

i just decided to get a tube of the 1 oz silver Myths & Legends 2023 King Arthur from Goldsilver.be. They work out at £23.04 with the delivery costs spread over several orders as i also called in all the other coins i was holding with them.

Bought this Azadi yesterday, but I emailed Atkinsons to ask if it was a Khomeini obverse or an Ali calligraphy, as they aren't dispatching until January and they sent me photos over

It's in pretty nice shape, but I really want a Khomeini obverse which was 1991 onwards

Todays cheeky purchase

right so i have been sparsely out of metals for  going on a year, not buying anything since my last 1/4 oz queens beast , due to covid, and retirement in 2020 and not needing to invest anymore , however this last couple of months i had a pay day from a rental house and was going to stick it all in a isa, and then thought why not buy some gold to pass on. so bought 5 full sovs of theses today bullion grade but i already have some 2005 proofs and its my favourite design of sov with the 2012 2 nd , so heres hoping for some nice coins

Technically bought today, but had it put aside for me last month. Very excited to take photos of it in hand.
