New Stacker, maybe collector: From UK, living abroad...

[MergingCultures]

Hello All,

I just got into stacking last year, bought a 25 tube of 2021 silver Britannia's. Quickly then bought the 2022 Gold Platinum Jubilee Proof Sovereign. And for Christmas my Nieces, Nephews and God kids got 1oz Britannia's.

I think I am interested in stacking as a way to potentially pass wealth on to my family. The collecting side, I am not too sure about, but I am quite a big fan of Her Maj, and feel like the Platinum Jubilee is a massive event, and the fact she won't be around for too long has me thinking this is a good time to buy collectables. The announced SOTD Sovereign has me very interested, I'll see if I can buy one in the queue, if not I don't think I'll be too upset. My next purchase after I'll try to get a SOTD or Proof of the new Monarch.

My goals, to see if I can get a good 10% of wealth in PMs, probably UK coins, and a good mix of silver (annoying VAT) and gold. Silver will be Britannia's, but I can't decide between gold 1/4oz Britannia's or full Sovereigns, and probably will do half and half. I am not too worried about the premiums on 1/4oz Britannia's. I like the divisibility, and the ability to be able to buy more regularly (averaging up and down the fiat price).

Anyway, I've enjoyed the YT videos, and pleased to see such an active forum.

Best, MC

Welcome to the forum. I prefer sovs to quarter oz generally. You might find some better prices on silver Brits here on the forum than the main online dealers too

Welcome to the forum. I had similar dilemma between sovereign and Britannias. It’s not fully resolved but I’d be leaning towards mix of 1oz Brits and sovs. Time will tell where I’ll end up 😁
