*waves* from the Netherlands

No idea on Silver, had some discussions on the bigger bars, but for a beginner stacker I don't really see the point of getting a kilo of silver which you can use for training in the garden when the same money can buy you a double Sovereign that you can hide in the cookie jar.

On the topic, just got a couple of 2022 quarter sovereign, in the future I'll stick to full and halves, but I really wanted a couple of 2022 quarters as in the long run they might appreciate due the Jubilee design and could consider selling them a few years down the line as a set with a half and a full one, anyway, they're hilariously small.

Hi everyone! 

I am very new, but also very enthusiast about all the new things I am learning. I am mostly gathering information at this point and thinking about what I want to do for my first purchase. Does anyone here remember the thrill of their first purchase? Feel free to share stories! 

 

I would really enjoy finding some people to talk to, I hope I came to the right place for that

Back on topic..... my first purchase was small gold coins for a xmas presents for my daughters and it escalated extremely quickly to anything shiny but even now i still wait with baited breath for when I know the postie is on her way... you'll never get tired of getting new coins if the bug hits you hard

The Sovereigns are difficult to find in my country, but I assume the gold coin with lowest premium will do?

I started to read more about gold as well.

I have done the maths with Sovereigns for obvious reasons, being UK based they are common and they're useful when it comes to capital gains, this said, yeah, any coin with a low premium is good. But do make your own research, write stuff down, play with excel, I'm just a newbie myself

I already have a bunch of Google Sheets  
I am just going to add gold to them too now. I looked into silver because everyone is talking about the gold/silver ratio being favorable for silver. I guess I shouldn't have overlooked gold.
