Has anyone one dealt with TavexBullion.co.uk?

They have 1/10 Britannia 2022 for £176.77, I think I'm going for it.

Only ever heard good things about them although I've never used them myself. Good company to use by all accounts.

Is that a good price to pay? Or would you hang on here?

I personally wouldn't rush 1/10 brits do come along on here from time to time.

At 176.66 for a 1/10 that makes an 1oz 1766. With gold at 1554 that makes a premium of around 14%.

That would be too high for most but it is always a personal choice.

Anyone buying 1/10ths, that is cheap, however, check their postage, I think they will sting you for it. If the total is under £185, then it’s not too bad

I think the postage from memory is a fiver with great packaging of course

Have you held a 1/10 oz gold coin before ? 

If not, you could be so underwhelmed when you have it in hand.

Personally I love them. Yeah they don't have the heft or the glamour of the bigger stuff but they are modest, nimble little things that have a lot of upsides. 

I guess one of the downsides is if you drop them they're a bugger to find again 🤣🤣

I love em too.. yeah the premium is higher but they're also liquid if needing to make a quick 200 quid

you're doing eveything right matey, asking questions (sensible ones too, not like some new members have done) with your budget the 1/10th Brit is a good start, dont worry about the extra premium over the 1oz ones, fractional coins always command a higher premioum but when you come to sell (if you do) then the sale price will reflect the higher premium unless the price of gold bombs of course but then we all suffer, just so happens you're joining the good ship lollypop when prices are high, get you first purchase out of the way and go from there

be patient, take you time and boy oh boy ... TRY.... to be disciplined....  believe me when i say nearly every active member on here will have had the spur of the moment buys with total lack of discipline at times.... Just ask @James32 he's one of the worst!!!! 😂

Tavex is also a good start, low cost, £5.00 postage though to factor in, nice sweet box and great presentation to hold your new baby until its brothers or sisters arrive in droves

It's too late. I couldn't help it. Please don't tell my wife she's going to kill me, I'm trying to hide the evidence lol. 

I've ordered a 1982 1/2 sovereign actually won in auction.

1oz Silver coin -

And the 1/10 Britannia.

That's it no more................. Well maybe until payday hahaha. I love this place.

Very nice and diverse start.

Be warned its very addictive, but just buy little and often ( once a month maybe) and that will help protect you from big changes in spot price. 

[J12Tola]

In all seriousness, I just wanted a little more of a start on the collection.

The plan now is to buy similar size coin every end of month (payday), maybe skip a month or if we earn more (I'm self employed) go for a bigger coin. 

Just monthly, I'm not looking to become a trader, just preserve my existing wealth not even to make profits, so when I'm old I can pass to the kids, hopefully they will never need it. Then the can add to it a give it to the grandkids and do on. 

Thanks for the advice and warning James32, I do appreciate your guidance. 

 

[AaaGee]

Treat yourself to a loupe and/or magnifying glass too.

Great detail on these little coins that you will miss otherwise 👍

[AaaGee]

And sorry for the slight negative but....

Dont tell the world and their wives that you stack. You dont want the wrong people finding out. Apart from my missus and a mate who also does it, as far as i know, nobody else in my world knows 👍
