    ROrbers reacted to DukeSilver in Storing sovereigns - are capsules worth it?   
    Hello all!
    A rather sweeping question I know, but please bear with me...
    As some of the good folks on TSF may have noticed, I am a huge fan of sovereigns and I am always on the look out for a good trade. Since joining, I have been fortunate enough to accumulate a good number of 'minty' sovereigns (as Mr @LawrenceChard would call them), all of which are currently stored in plastic capsules. Unfortunately, I am beginning to find the volume taken up by the capsules themselves a little cumbersome compared to the space taken up by the bare coins.
    So, my question is: is it really worth storing sovereigns in individual plastic capsules, purely for the sake of keeping them 'minty', compared to storing them in (for example) a Royal Mint sovereign tube and risking a little bit of scuffing? Would there be that much of a difference in potential resale price?
    Given the choice, I would much prefer using a sovereign tube, even over individual plastic sleeves, simply for the sake of convenient storage.
    Please note: I am referring to ordinary bullion coins here, not BU or proof coins. Plus, I am in no way a collector, just a plain old stacker.
    As always, thank you for your time, and I wish you all a good day and good stacking!
    Duke

    This 2021 summer is ending (although it feels like here in UK never started). I've been able to make only two purchases during this period, which I am photographing and showing here. I believe that, with the new 2021 design, Britannias are a very cool choice.
    Quarter Ounce on a budget, or Full Ounce?

    Did anyone else try to order this set on Monday?
    As usual it was a very frustrating experience.
    It took me well over an hour to get an order in and then over 6 hours for the order email confirmation to arrive.
    Mintage is 125,000 and the house hold order limit was 1.

    Fingers crossed that I will get my set, if I do, it will be making a stop with my mom in Rhode Island for her to send over to me.

    The markets are rigged or managed. You cannot or don't see that. This is not conspiracy theory - it is proven fact. 
    The gold price will be suppressed until the Western cabal has no more physical to sell to China. Then China will reset the price.
    The USD will collapse. 
    Those are absolutes for me and i will say absolutes in reality.
    Gold is real money and a safe asset. Is it logical for a flight to safety asset to fall when the risk assets are falling?
    You can give reasons but is it logical for a flight to safety asset (priced in USD), the premiere flight to safety asset to fall as risk assets AND the USD fall?
