2022 sovereigns seem to be harder to find in stock. I'm thinking about 1oz Brits. Good or bad idea?

[TheShinyStuff]

They have been popping up randomly in small batches on Atkinsons over the last few days. I got one yesterday for £370.

Sharps Pixley have then in stock and mine arrived the following day.
Good price as well but I haven't compared today.

Here's a good place to check...

Maybe part time worker and part time TSF volunteer might be more appropriate. 😆

As has been said by many Chards have or shortly will have and I know BbP are expecting "a lot" possibly as early as next week.

I'm currently having one of my usual dithers. Which is buy 2022 as Last Lizzie, buy some older proper gold coloured ones or sit on cash waiting for gold to go down. 

If there were a Guinness world record for dithering then I would be in with a shout...

Or I could just get another gorgeous Perth Tiger. Or... 

Do you know what’ll happen if you sit on the fence for too long?

You’ll get splinters in your backside and still have no gold. 🤔

Lawrence of Chard was a man that worked hard..

With a loupe in one hand and the Sunday sport opened wide..

The man even inspected coins whilst honeymooning with his bride..

As old age set in and the ski's got retired...

Lawrence had no choice but to work less day's or he would've been fired...

Lawrence nearly panicked with all this free time on his hands...

He tried everything from reading to joining local bands...

Along came the silver forum and made Lawrence whole...

He's finally found home and peace in his soul..

The end.

🤗

How long did it take you to come up with that? 😂

Uh, ohhhh…. Somebody’s in trouble tomorrow.

It's a bit of a trip to Blackpool though, price of petrol these days I can open up my own gold mine.

Why would you need to go to Blackpool? Why couldn't you put an order in online?

My usual stockist is out of sovs due to demand so I'm thinking about buying their 1oz Brits instead. My questions are -  will Brits be harder to move on in years to come, and, should I wait and buy the 2023 sovs when they come out next year? I'm not interested in older sovs btw, just 2022 onwards.

Do you not like having a variety of sovereigns ?

Do you not find modern sovereigns (post 2000) looks like copper pennies ?

...and why stick with a stockist when there are plenty of established, reputable dealers around the UK.

Then again the 2022 Brit will likely be the last QE2 ever minted. Choices choices. 

As an alternative you might consider this : https://atkinsonsbullion.com/gold/gold-coins/1-4oz-gold-coins/2022-uk-tudor-beasts-the-lion-of-england-1-4oz-gol

First of the Tudor Beast series, and if the series does perform anything like the Queens Beast series likely to command a premium in the future and if not is about the same price as Brits.  I am buying a couple just because in this series we will see two monarchs on the obverse with the late queen on this and the Yale and Charlie on the rest, and it is possible these will get missed by a lot of stackers in their rush to stock up on 2022 sovereign issues

If you are stuck on the idea of 2022 sovereigns 4 for £1500 should be easy to achieve, I would happily sell 4 of mine for that but there are multiple dealers that are cheaper , if you invest in a silver membership you get access to the compare page to see who are the cheapest dealers holding stock

@CazLikesCoins  I like the 2022 sovs meself although I understand that a lot of others don't because of the copper content...but I like other years too, especially all the one-off design years, and it's nice to have some diversification for those days when you decide to have a look at your stack and have a bit of a drool over all those lovely coins...

Might I suggest investing in a silver membership for the forum...?     It'll pay for itself in a short time as soon as you making purchases on here..

Yes but you are on Page 3 I believe. I can't remember tbh I don't have the book to hand atm. Those pretty ads at the beginning of the book are so enticing. They make me want to buy gold even before I get into reading the book lol

 

Thanks to one and all for the replies. I won't reply to most of them as I'm trying to detox from the internet. Been there done that. 12 o'clock at night, work the next morning and staying up on forums. So addictive. I'm better now. lol

The higher premium i guess and the possible 3 month delivery time ( I doubt it will take that long as other orders on different items are getting out within a week) but its off putting. 

[GoldDiggerDave]

Back the truck up on these!!

I'm hearing that filter through now,so was likely just a protective statement, changing to 3 months.

Flip side, I am waiting on double sovereigns in blisters that I ordered last week, seems totally flipping random to me
