Half sovereign storage

[PansPurse]

Well I've pulled the trigger on buying a second half sovereign. I guess that makes it a collection now. So I'm thinking what's the best way to store them?

Somebody suggested a sovereign tube is a great motivator when buying full sovs ( but halves work better for me in terms of cash flow) is there an equivalent half sov tube?

Failing that, the basic coin capsules I picked up are much thicker than a half sovereign so I can probably fit three or four in a capsule

Awesome... Although now seriously wondering whether 40 is a bit of an undertaking

:)) For sure. It would be cool to have a tube full. I currently only have a couple

40 is setting a goal! You don't need to achieve a full tube a week and a half from now. Just let it be added to every time you look at the empty space in the tube as motivation to buy another one!

Not very expensive and you get to see your coins as opposed to a tube.

Considering you'll pay 30-50p a capsule on their own, thats a good price for a nice case.

I am using these

I found the small capsules too fiddly

and putting them in one of these

you can get 40 half sovs in a tray, gives you an aim in life.

Will hopefully have a tray full by end of the year, if not sooner.

Neat idea JB.

40 half sovs in a year is a great achievement too. We're talking about nearly £5000 in the pot.

Thanks Roy,

Next year will be tray two, that's my £10,000 allocated PM fund taken care of.
