I just want to say, I got my first sovereign today.

[Idkman]

With the recent gold dip, i got a "best value" full sovereign, I just wanted to get one if possible before xmas as i still figure out a plan for what im actually chasing next year.

I would take pics but i dont feel its required, but its a 2022 QEII the design i quite like actually even though im not fussed overall, looks like its new, not a single mark on the thing or wear of any sort, i was expecting something used so i could put my grubby mitts on it and play heads or tails.

The weirdest thing though, I actually feel something that i have one now, It just feels good to own heh.

Congratulations on first of many I hope. Result in getting a platinum jubilee also, they tend to carry a small premium usually!

Welcome to the slippery slope

Sovereigns! That's how they get you hooked on the yellow stuff. Unfortunatly we're all pushers here. Several payment plans are available 🧐🦈

Before you know it you’ll be collecting different monarchs, different mint marks and going on date runs 😁

Oh my gosh! The dawning of gold addiction in an innocent newbie!

You might look like this now ...

 

But give it a year ....

🤔😮👍well done! Doesn’t seem long since I got my first one, then two, then oooh… can I get ten!! It’s a great feeling. Great deals here on the forum, but don’t be shy about looking at some of the dealers, some great bargains out there, just keep checking prices they can and do vary quite widely over a matter of days. But … don’t be shy about getting some halves and other smaller stuff😮🤔⛄️

You own the coin, you are allowed to hold it😊.

But I know the feeling, maybe be your next one will be ‘pre-handled’ and you can do whatever you like🌞

I heard James puts 5sov coins in his Xmas puddings……

[AaaGee]

Well done on your 1st purchase. Pix ARE required 😄

Congratulations! I'm yet to buy any gold or sovs yet. Just have a pure silver stack/collection so far. i am sorely tempted to start the sovereign game but need to clear some debt first.

[JamesH]

Congrats @Idkman on your first sovereign. Feels good eh! Nice get with the Jubilee Sovereign too. Enjoy the adventure 👍🏼

[Orpster]

I suspect you are now a gold-bug, this place is littered with us

Best piece of advise when you start stacking gold - remember you are not spending money, you are buying money with fiat, which is just currency

[MonkeysUncle]

Be careful young padwan, this shiny Sovereigny stuff can give heroin a run for it's money on the addiction front!

Absolutely the one rule I advise anyone is to clear debts in preference to investing or saving money. Interest payments are money that would be better in your pocket, not someone else's. 

Only exception for me is a mortgage; but I'm still locked in at 1.something % for a couple more years.

Thanks Uncle, your golden wisdom shines again!

[Idkman]

Thanks all, yeah so from my side im trying to balance getting stacks and pay my debt i have enough spare cash to invest, but its more the fact that if i just focus on being debt free then ill be able to get more stacks anyway.
Even on that front, it gives me a reason to do overtime at work ha.

[17RSB]

Congratulations on your purchase - I did something similar and got my first sov at the beginning of the month and managed to get a 2018 QEII. 

Agree with all the comments from others as I m hooked in now and constantly monitoring the sites for any deals.
