dilemma

[craig12]

just sorting through bairds site with a cup of tea  , looking at the sovs they have in stock , and this popped up  bairds words not mine     "2 rand coin  same gold content as sovereigns but much cheaper "

I wasn't aware of the coin    I think theyre £186 plus delivery  where as a sov starts at £195 plus del

I have to admit to be a investor for long term profit  as im not a collector  ,  now this has really confused me

 

7.32  same content as the sovs   but nearly a tenner cheaper 

anybody bought one  what should I do 

are they harder to sell on ?

pms arghhhhhhh

sorry its a fiver cheaper than their 2014 sovereign / older sovereigns  gives a bigger price difference

First thing I'd do is not buy from Bairds. I find Atkinsons and HGM a lot cheaper, and a lot less hassle navigating their websites and paying for the coins..

but that is just me................

 

ps. Bairds have delivery costs from £7.50. HGM starts at £6.50 and Atkinsons are free delivery. All this should be factored in when calculating prices of coins

HGM have sovereigns at £190 delivery is £6.50.

The price might change as they update it 10.45 every weekday morning

When I purchased my gold lunar horse Bairds price including delivery was £19 less than Atkinsons!

As for the dilemma..... Go for the coin you like best. £5 here or £10 there is meaningless in the long run, as you will not be selling anything until spot rises to a point where you are happy with the profit you have made. Neither one of these coins will make more profit than the other in the long run in my opinion. So I see little difference between them.

 

If you want a short term flip, go fr the cheapest it will be the easiest to make a quick buck on. But selling 10 or more years from now you will just be happy with the income. That extra £10 will be immaterial.

Buy the one you don't like the look of, that will make it easier for you to sell in the future

but you'll suffer before you manage to get rid of it?

Maybe but I find it a lot easier to sell the coins that I don't like, I have a few gold pandas but won't sell because they are so nice,

[HawkHybrid]

owning a few coins that you really like is much better than having many

average coins. time is precious and you can only examine one coin at

a time.

 

I think mints should be encouraged to produce nicer coins
