Wait... am I missing something here? What's so special about a 2013 Brit?

 

Off the top of my head the only thing I know different is that they are the first to be 24k and not 22k

 

Which I suppose is a significant thing

Chards are quite funny, from their site  :lol:

 

The purity of both the silver and gold Britannias appears to have affected the quality and relief of the coins. We believe that some chocolate coins have a higher releif than the 2013 gold Britannia and many people at The World Money Fair in Berlin agreed with us.

They're special cos I say they are. Lol!

They're still the favourite coins in my collection. Better than anything else I got.

Better than my gold panda, roo, ellie and buffalo.

They're unique cos 2013 is the only year when the Brits were minted in the larger diameter.

in my Opinion as a newbie (whos opinion may upset others), I think that Sovs or fractions of an Oz or even Grams are better than Larger denominations.

same as for silver I won`t go above 1Kg and I limit those to 3 bars, I`ll make the rest of my stack up in smaller amounts from now on.

Gold`s worth more than Silver, using the ratio then, if 1Kg of silver is £500 and 1Oz of Gold is £750... then Offloading this later will present similar problems!

and such a fuss is made of 1Kg bars of Silver at 500 that 1 Oz at half as much again will present More!

 

so smaller demoninations for greater metal density would be the most logical path surely?

I assume you mean if spot goes up a lot? I don't see that

 

If the price sky rockets that means demand is high 

 

If demand is high then they wont be too hard to sell

Agree with this completely.

I remember near £30 a couple of years ago, people were buying in droves.

Stacker since 2013

How about 1/4oz versus sovs.

https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-coins/small-britannias/2014-quarter-ounce-britannia-gold-coins/

 

I didn't know they were minting these.  A sov wins though.

 

I like them but do agree with you HH, the sovereigns are better, far more choice.

 

That said I would not mind one of each year to add to the gold stack.

If they only started them in 2014 then they will be easy to collect, I buy one now and have the set, until the next one is issued.

 

The thing is 1/4 oz of gold is a very nice size coin for any situation. SHTF, to collect, to just admire.

Just an update.

Having handled a Sovereign, they just don't feel substantial enough to me. So I have decided  I will only buy Gold when I can afford to get a whole, or maybe half Oz. This is great news to Keith I imagine :)

 

Silver will have to be my 'fractionals'

Currently stacking 1/4 oz (22ct) and Sovs.

I like 1oz, sov's and double sov's, the 1/2 sov's are a bit to small for me to collect. It goes without saying if a 1/2 sov came on the market at the right price I would buy it.

 

I have found it easier to sell fractional Gold compared to 1oz Gold, mostly because there are more buyers.  Anyone else had the same experience?
