Gold acquisitions! A couple of French 20-Franc pieces.
Firstly a 1901 coin with the classic Gallic rooster design on one side and Marianne (symbol of liberty and reason) on the other, and secondly a 20 Franc coin from 1812 featuring a portrait of the emperor Napoleon 1st.
Annoyingly the 1812 coin didn’t come in a capsule, but capsules are cheap.

Not a lot to not like about either Half Sovereigns or 1/10th coins- they are Gold.
Lots of great points made above and the Half Sovereign appears to be 'winning' however, like @ilovesilverireallydo states, there's lots of differing coins to collect in the 1/10th weight. Dependent on what 1/10th coins you gather up, they are very easy to liquidate if you fancy a change/ need the cash- particularly Britannias & Krugerrands.
You can also very quickly collect date runs and themes. I would also draw your attention to the fact that some 1/10th coins have a larger diameter than a Half Sovereign- the Somalia Elephant for example- these are beautiful little coins.
Good luck and have fun gathering them up whatever you decide.

I know it's not what you've asked but save up and buy a full sovereign or 1/4 Brit.
Anything smaller is underwhelming and carries a even higher premium.

1/10th Brit Pros= Cheaper than Half a Sov.
1/10th Brit Cons= It's not Half a Sov.
Half Sov Pros= It's not a 1/10th Brit.
Half Sov Cons= It's not a Full Sov.

Funnily enough I have been going through the same dilemma. I don't have a huge budget so these fractional coins suit me down to the ground. I have bought one of each literally to help me decide. They are both small coins but the detail is still amazing. The half sovereign is a little bit bigger but a bit more expensive. I have done a few sums and as long as you buy bullion grade you are paying about the same per gram so it really comes down to preference. You have the 200 year history of the sovereign which means alot of choice, alot of royals to pick from, 2 main reverse designs (shield and st George) but also some interesting one off coins 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012, 2017 etc. Obviously you then have all the rare coins too. The Britannia is fairly new 1987 but also with some interesting reverse designs and rare mintage years. I've decided to look at both and just get the best coin for my money at the time I have the money ready. Proofs, rare coins and graded coins will have to wait for now.
Good luck with your choice 👍

My 1st Half Sovereign! A very generous gift. It has met some of it’s older siblings aka “Full Sovereigns” and it fits in well with it’s bigger brothers and sisters!

5huggy reacted to Stuntman in Full Stack / Full Collection Photos
Here's pretty much my full stack as it currently stands. Mostly gold, but with 30 oz of silver and 2 oz of platinum.
No more additions for me now until next year, when I aim to finish of the Queen's Beasts in 1/4 oz and 1 oz gold bullion and add a 2020 sovereign. Anything else will be an impulse or value buy!
