    Thanks. I started collecting gold in 1997, and was attracted to virtually everything; sovereigns, proof sets, and bullion. However, I never gave much thought to premiums etc, I simply paid the going price for whatever I fancied! Probably passed the 1 kilo mark in 2017, have now stopped collecting, but still enjoy looking and following the latest on the Forum. Being an old style collector I have never bought anything as an investment, but of course would make a  substantial profit if sold. Terms such as flipping, stacking and 'exit strategies' were completely alien to me! I have never sold a single gold coin. Inadvertently, the medium to long term, if it was an investment, has worked for me without even noticing it.
    By buying what you like, you might be surprised in a few years.....!
    Cheers,

    90oz of Kookaburra proofs. I was searching for the 2000 set for quite a time now, finally got it. For me one of the best Kookaburra designs ever made. With a low mintage of 266 only it’s very welcome to my collection.

    Another boring to some 1 gram gold assayed card post spam haha, Stacking on a budget currently as I’m saving for a second mortgage which is priority.
    after stressing and being impatient as I had no contact with the seller, 
    a metalor card and a unique karatbars bar some don’t like them but it’s all towards the cause, thanks to @LResdave1 sorry for being impatient and doubting you just didn’t know what to think as you’ve been missing,
    and a different cpm Battle of Britain bar with thanks to @Yorkshiremanc
    i just need to delve into the rarer ones now valcambi, igr, Rmc, engelhard etc

    Received this 1996 2 oz Kook privy mark in today. For several years now its been relatively easy(for the most part) to find any privy kook you were were after on ebay. Even if you had to wait a couple of months, it would show up eventually. Now its getting harder and harder to find some of these as time goes by.

    Super rare one for you all today 
    1856 period 1
    25 cents California Fractional gold rush coin 
    135 known example of this coin with only 20 rated higher 
    Unbelievably rare and a high grade will be sending for conservation and conversion to NGC 
    5p coin for scale 
    California fractional gold coins are artifacts of Gold Rush history that were created to solve the lack of coinage in circulation that occurred when gold was found in Western America  in the 1840s and 50s. 
    Fascinating history well worth a read to see why this coin is so special
