Best collections?

[Silviam]

What series of silver coins would people recommend to collect? I've looked at pandas, Queen's Beasts etc but what is the best to start collecting?

[blackadder]

The Kanye West collection,can't beat these babies but whatever you like really.Can't go wrong with the queen's beasts set in a nice box.Plus easy to back date them.

Anything you'd really like, so long as you're not overpaying or getting scammed. Here in the US two popular sets are Morgan dollars (very expensive numismatic set 1878-1904) and American Silver eagles (1986-present). Since you're in the UK I can't really relate much as I dont know what is available, Ive seen a couple people collect Crowns though, Brittanias are also the equivalent to the US's silver eagles, though they do tend to milk spot quite alot.

The qb coins are good and the is a new one out this month they look fantastic and byb is doing a group order on here also Perth mint coins are very nice 

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Perth Mint are universally popular and do quite a few nice mini series. Britannia date runs can get expensive to collect but always resaleable. 

I do crowns and half crowns, 1/10 gold krugs as series.

QBs are definitely good though the lion may set you back a bit now. 

I also like the marvel series, only three out and still reasonable, Thor Spidey and Black Panther 

Other than that pretty much bits of everything that I find interesting to be honest

Cheers guys, I think I might settle with the QBs. Does anyone find old Canadian coins interesting? Like the 1950's Goose that is only 80% silver?

I collect the proof QB's now myself. I have been on a Britannia kick for a while, my collection is a bit uninspired by the past few years, but I've stuck to it this long....

Canadian coins are nice, lots of varieties. If the "goose" you are referring to is the Canadian Silver Dollar then yes those are beautiful coins. I don't see many different dates and varieties up for sale often on eBay. My guess is they might be harder to collect and find unless in the US or Canada.

Start at Morgan Dollars,  get a few rolls of them

I would say that it is down to your budget

QB serie is only 10 coins

Pandas will soon dry you out as there is so many to collect

Yes, be careful as there are so many well established series of coins out there which have been running for years.  Collecting even bullion coins can get very, very expensive and a little bit obsessive.  

I like Britannias, Elephants, Libertads, Queen's Beasts, Landmarks, Provident Egyptian Series.......oh dear, oh dear I need to be much more careful!

[Silviam]

Yeah I decided to start on Pandas, got a 2013 one and 2018... Quite anxious about the decision, hopefully it will be a decent investment, since the prices tend to rise over the years

[Agpanda]

Glad to see an new pandacollector

It is the pre 2011 you want

2011 they started with huge mintage

Just get one of each for the newer, it will be enough to have the serie going

[Silviam]

@Agpanda Got 2013 and 2018 so far:)

I would recommend, as others might, any bullion priced coins that change over the years. A good example is the QB, which arent much over spot when they are released. A smaller collection I fancy is the canadian predators. I have 5 of the couagr and lynx each, and am about to go for 5 of the wolf. There are only 4 in the set, and once I pick up 5 of the last one, Ill have stacked 20 oz of marginally over spot bullion that are attractive and complementary. Kooks arent a bad wya to go either. Basically, as long as you get in early (with all three of these sets mentioned) you can get them cheap.
