Hi everyone.

Thought it was time to introduce myself having been lurking for the last week or so and absorbing some of the advice and guidance on the site. 

I started collecting a couple of months ago buying some Silver Britannias from the Royal Mint and have got the collecting bug in a bad way?.

I don't have much spare cash but what I have left over at the end of each month is ear marked for some PM. So far it's only been Silver Bullion but I would like to get gold coins and can't make up my mind to do for Sovereign or save for longer and get Britannia. 

No real thoughts on exit plans at the moment, just enjoying the thrill of a purchase and diversifying a little bit of the pension fund into precious metals. 

Keep the advice and friendly banter coming. 

Cheers.

Welcome  

I would say get a sovereign, you cant go wrong with them as long as you buy from a reliable source.

 Welcome to the Forums Rat!  Great to have you along for the ride.  For me, Sovs are more appealing for several reasons but one is I really enjoy history.  So collecting Sovs is not only a great way to build an affordable, easily recognizable, easily transferable gold stack but I've also learned more about the British monarchy and the events of their day that they reigned/governed through while these coins were being minted.  Really fascinating stuff IMO.  Whatever you decide, we're interested in hearing about it and ready to offer feedback (solicited or otherwise)!

Hello and welcome to the forum. I too would say go for sovereigns until you decide what your in it for.

Sovereigns can be bought in the forums for sale section when other members are offloading.

Thanks for the warm welcome and it sounds like a sovereign will be my next purchase. 

Any advice on where the best place to get them would be really welcome. 

I have just been buying from Royal Mint so far and am happy to pick up a 2017 sovereign from them but I would like to get some of the earlier years but have no idea what websites are trustworthy and which ones to avoid. 

Cheers again and it's nice to meet you all.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum. Living in the U.K. probably Sovereigns are best to buy and sell.

In regards to acquiring older sovereigns: Atkinsons, Hatton Garden Metals, Chards are all good sources for new and preowned sovereigns. And of course from a reputable forum member.

I'm new to this but I can recommend Atkinson's, I have bought Sovereigns from them and with no issues at all.

Enjoy !!
