Newbie with first purchase (I had to tell someone)

[Hangryjock]

Good afternoon all, firstly thank you for this forum, i've been enjoying my last few days reading through threads and learning from you all. Looking forward to learning more in time. 

I'm excited as my first purchase came today, I started with a 1g bar purely for low entry point and I just couldn't wait to get something to start my journey. Plus I like them. 

I just had to tell someone and I know that you guys will understand my excitement. 

Looking to add each month, likely start with half sovereign's. 

 

Have a good day!

Congratulations, nothing like a Gold delivery to get the excitement going. Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

Well done and welcome to the forum. 

New gold is always exciting, regardless if it is your first or tenth piece. I'll defer to @James32 to ask if the excitement is there when you get your millionth piece delivered...

Gold! The stuff of Dreams . . . and Empires! Welcome to the Shiny side old bean.

If you like the Royal Mint bars stick up a wanted post for 5g bars, there are dozens of members who got them cheap on Black Friday so you can sensibly expect top get them at a decently low premium on here 

They are also a nice price point, being between half sovereigns and sovereigns

Congrats on your first gold and good luck with your stacking journey

Welcome aboard fellow Weegie!

There's no going back now.

Well done! Look at getting either a 1/10 Britannia, half sovereign or even a full one. I can assure you that when one turns up you will still feel great😮 I find that part of it is the anticipation of the postman calling with the new purchase! Never fails🤔😮👍

Congrats, welcome and enjoy. This is a fabulous place to buy/sell and generally enthuse about precious metals. Many an hour to be lost on the forum 👍🏼

[RoughDog]

Congratulations, I must admit when I first starting collecting /stacking I purchased a 2.5g bar.  I really want to hold it so I cut open the card, it was packed so securely I manage to bend the bar getting out of package.  

At the time everyone was obsessed with 'Gold Rush' the TV show.  So was cool to show the lads a real gold bar.

Woohoo! Congrats mate!
