Hello from a new collector

[NumisRPG]

Hello all,

 

I'm new to the forum and am excited to learn from the members here. I've been stacking bullion for a few years but have decided to change my strategy somewhat and concentrate more on numismatic coins.

Up till now I've bought mainly silver eagles, maples and silver bars. Also in gold mainly Kruger Rands, Gold Maples, Gold Eagles and Sovereigns.

I found out about this forum while watching Numistacker's videos on YouTube.

I want to convert some of my bullion to numismatics. Still deciding between Pandas, Libertads, Sovereigns, Britannias, or Australian Lunas.

Also size of coins 1oz probably too large but thinking of 1/4 oz 

 

regards

Hi and welcome to the forum .

Yep it's not an easy task on what to choose, but I think you have narrowed it down to a good selection.

You are talking about gold?

If silver I would say 1oz is more or less perfect depending what semi-numi coin that is. All under 1/2oz I believe is a waste of time.

[NumisRPG]

Yes you're right I was refering to gold when I mentioned less than 1 oz coins. Any silver would be at least 1 oz.

Thanks for the input.

Hi and welcome.

"....deciding between Pandas, Libertads, Sovereigns, Britannias, or Australian Lunas."

Apart of Sovereign all others are bullion or you can deceive yourself calling them seminumismatic coins. Higher premiums on that coins doesn't make them numismatic coins. IMHO in long run you'll get better return on them than on generic bullion but be careful that will be only for top graded as MS70 and MS69. Any spot, fingerprint, ding, discoloration, scratch, etc. will mean you'll be able to get spot or bit over spot for them.

 

[NumisRPG]

Thanks for the input. Yes after doing some research it seems that the premiums on all these coins except for Sovereigns is really high.

Pandas being the worst.

I do want to invest in something that will show growth over time that is not necessarily totally dependant on spot prices.

I really like sovereigns and have a few already. Any thoughts on new vs old sovereigns. Also what about proof sovereigns 

thanks

[Gilver]

Again IMO older are nicer but condition is everything so I'll rather pick any but in better condition. 

[NumisRPG]

I also prefer older. Especially shield backs. Premiums also seem to be higher on the newer sovereigns.

Thanks for the advice
