whats a really special box item to buy

[craig12]

hi everyone , im really fascinated with boxed items where there is a selection of items within    ie  john pinches ingots  or set of 10 silver shields (commemorative) or simply a set of silver coins in a wooden box etc  (its probably the presentation box im emphasising more here)   can member help me please 

what is the best item to buy whereby you shouldnt lose money in the long run and is highly wanted by most    as an example  i find the john pinches stuff lovely to look at but i get the feeling nobody wants em   as ive seen em on e bay over and over again  re listed  

 

would it be that proof britannia sets are the best or a set of 4 coloured maples  or a proof set of silver coins from belize or another country

 

just fancied buying something with a certificate  where theres not thousands lying around , and when you open the box it really is a beautifull item 

any clues guys  looking for about £150 to spend    regards craig

also like stamps and ingots

I think if I was buying a set over spot around that price I would likely chose one of the Britannia sets.  One with a specific design for that year.

In my opinion most of the world sterling silver sets aren't really worth paying much over spot for.

I am an American, so this was really special to me. I collect Kennedy's. Cheap but beautiful, not in a wooden box, though.. I think it has International appeal too

There is always the lunar three coin sets too.

You could get an empty box from Morezone and fill it with whatever coins you like.

a set of proof Libertads?

Just because I like the Britanias I'd go for something like this,

I don't think the case is anything special though...

Nice to see someone from Sheffield in the forum

[doogs]

I agree with mr-dead - go for proof libertads. The mintages are very low

[watchesandwhisky]

I really like the Sydney 2000 Olympics proofs, dont fit in with my current buying strategy but they are really special.

Check out the 2015 Canadian mint 1oz Raven, the nanotech holograph is beautiful. some still available from coininvest i believe

[HawkHybrid]

I would be reluctant go for a coloured coin, they have

less character when viewed from different angles.

proof libertad gets my vote.

If you have the money to outlay you will not go far wrong in buying the 1970's  'Thousand Years of the British Monarchy' 2 oz x 50 sterling silver ingots by Pinches

As you allude to in your note, these don't usually command a great resale as a  complete set, and in the past i have picked up a few sets at around spot. Thus a low cost to purchase

As and when you are ready to liquidate, and It you have the time and can wait to role you money over, you can break up the set and sell  the ingots as singles. As each ingot is hallmarked you attract a wider field of collectors and the subject matter also adds interest. As long as you are not greedy, price sensibly, and having bought for a good price, you should be able to move these fairly easily and at a tidy profit.

I picked up the Kennedy set when I ordered the Mark Twain coins.
