Thank you - that's great way to compare the coins. Great collection too 👍 🙂

Cheers.  Took me about 5 years to acquire.  I'm mostly done, for now...

Well, I have at least 10 years before thinking about retirement, so there's something to aim for right there 😊

That may be a possibility... ooh, or a Double Sovereign perhaps...🤔 - Gaaaah!  now I'm going to have start thinking all over again! 😂

I'm very partial to a double sovereign I must admit, even more so than a 1oz Brit.  I like Brits and sovs too of course and sovs are undoubtedly the easiest to shift if you ever come to resell,  but it's just something about the size and weight of the double which gives it that feeling of "rightness".

I guess it's a personal thing..

[Scootermuppet]

I think any collection is quite a personal thing... coins being no exception, by the look of it - what's great for one person isn't necessarily right for someone else.

I'm still pretty near the start of my 'stacking/collecting/building up a bit of wealth' journey and have absorbed quite a bit of useful knowledge from the lovely folks on here. I hope to stick around and absorb a whole lot more while accumulating some nice coins and having fun while I do it. 😊

Thanks All, always appreciated 👍

Quick update:

Started sourcing some items ready for next week, and not doing too bad so far! Not sure I'll be going for the Double Sovereign straight away, as it would soak up a fair chunk of the calculated available wonga, so will probably end up as a mix of small gold and possibly some silver too.

Haven't completely abandoned the Double Sov, have a cunning plan fermenting 😈

so watch this space!

You can always roll funds over to next pay day. Rome wasn't t built in a day

... no Turnips were harmed in the fermenting of said plan 😏

Bugger! you've sussed me Cunning Plan!  🤣

Seriously though, not being on a regular pay schedule can be a pain, but also a blessing - as there's another couple of smaller invoices due not too long after ... 😊 🤞

It’s great seeing a collection build up with fractional sand the odd full sovereign, however, comes a time when you have to resist temptation and save the funds for that odd bigger coin… I.e a double sovereign!🥵🥵

Very True... but I'm still a 'Newbie' really, and the thought of shelling out around £750 in one go gives me the Heebie-Jeebies! 😲 😳

I'm working my way up to it 😊 - Honest! 

It's not like I'm a fully Fledged Hoover like @James32 - but I'm trying! 😂

We have all been there honestly. There's no right or wrong way to stack as long as you are paying reasonable prices and not too premium heavy.

This time next year you will be buying 1oz gold coins like their smarties 😉

There is people on here I've had the pleasure of speaking with privately that make me look like a homeless person 🙃 but I view it as inspiration.

[Paul]

You can always sell off small fractionals down the road to up grade to a bigger piece.

I'll always say yes to a 1/10 gold if it's 3%over spot like good old HGM days 

[Scootermuppet]

Oddly enough, that had crossed my mind - I refer you to my Cunning Plan post earlier 😉 👍

Need to get in to the habit of thinking in % over spot prices, not actual FIAT too...

Blimey - I almost sound like I know what I'm doing! 🤭

[PrivateStacker195]

As I am in the UK i should mostly stack royal mint bullion but how often do you guys mix it up and stack foreign bullion like maples, francs, eagles etc

There comes a time when you start thinking in ounces, or fractions of, rather than fiat!

'Shall we go abroad again love...?'

Ok, wait...that's 2 ounces!

'New phone, Sir?'

How much?! Can get a double sovereign for that!

😂
