Stuff I've learned in my first month of stacking

[PansPurse]

1) The budgeting advice is important. I am now reeling back/working on this.

2) The Royal Mint's Signature gold option offers pretty competetive rates and is a good last-in/first-out stash of value.

3)  Canadian’s have a horrible portrait of the Queen… possibly part of a larger disaffection with having her as head of state?

4) Some people are crazy.

5) Most people are not (and in fact pretty lovely)

6) If you ever want to feel poor and humble, convert savings into gold.

7) Relatively stable PM prices can look like terrifying roller-coasters if you follow them daily/weekly.

8) I am definitely not a numismatically minded person (little scratches and links don’t seem to bother me in the slightest)

9) I will never understand the popularity of Pandas (both the coin and the animal)

3) She looks far far worse in the flesh, be grateful!

9) Wash your mouth out with soap and then disinfect your keyboard with bleach!

Could not agree more, I feel like I have committed treason by just looking at it, its that bad.

When i bought afew coins last month,I thought **** it and stuck abit in signature.They charged me 1p or something for the month,So isn't overpriced greedy like alot of others are.

They could charge far more and get away with it.

I did this from the start,fixed on x amount of one coin or a set etc.Rather then one of this and that,then getting far behind on everything and not being able to keep up etc.

Yep, Maples have horrid head design, puts me right off buying any.  

I totally get pandas and they are growing on me greatly.  The 80's child in me is drawn to the very early years designs and suspects i may one day go for the (expensive) collection.

The coin I don't get is the Koala, some are fantastic while some are awful, last years looking like he's sitting there squeezing one out.
