I have 1 one tenth year of the mouse coin in my stack of sovereigns but the difference in size plays on my mind always!!! It’s a beautiful coin but I just wish it was a sovereign!!!!!
Yeah tenths are nice but a little small to appreciate the details. Half sovs are a good option as they have a bigger diameter than tenths whilst being only slightly more expensive and having more gold
Great advice man. Im working on bringing up my silver base stack to my personal goal of 1000 Oz's and only about halfway there, before switching over to primarily getting gold but I love my fractionals. Quarter Ozs are my sweet spot so far. Some absolutely gorgeous pieces man
In France, the 20 Francs rooster has a premium around 6%. Perfect for investment even if I don't find this coin as beautiful as Britannia (11% premium in France)
You folks in the UK pay VAT on silver but here in the US the premium on silver eagles is ridiculous so that's a wash. I'm trying to buy more hold...half sovereigns don't seem to be as good a deal here as the sovereigns are but it's something to look into. Good tips.
You're not going to make a profit on it but it is an investment for someone who blows through money on something like cigarettes or alcohol which you're never getting anything back from. At least this is something you can't spend or consume. It'll always be there if you should need to raise some funds.
Great advice again. Do you know if there is something on the market at the moment to house/show bullion Sovereigns and 1/4 oz Britannias in the blister packs? RM say they don't have anything !!
Potentially on something like a mini easel. Searching something like 'coin display easel' might be an option. Otherwise perhaps some kind of photo album or an album for collectible cards. There are boxes by the likes of Pamp or Valcambi that the blistered bars come in bulk from the mints too.
In Portugal with what is currently earned, with the exception of the political class and businesspeople as political connections, to accumulate that amount of gold coins it would take 4 generations lol
Yes. Firstly buy from reputable sources to minimise risk, 2nd I check everything visually, then with the Sigma and or XRF machine, if they're not sealed in a slab then the usual weight and dimensions too. Good practice even if buying from reputable sources, just incase.
Youve mentioned before how you have a system of using profits from equities to buy gold i believe? Or alluded to it, could you do a video on how you finance your gold purchases id be interested in that?
It's a topic I plan to cover but I figure for most they'll earn their £ or $ in different ways and have different areas of expertise. I'll revisit the drawing board on how I can present it that's relevant for everyone I've got some ideas 👍🏼 Thanks for the suggestion
The cheapest place I've found to buy silver Britannias in the UK Is Atkinson Bullion and I did the math. Buying 1oz silver Britannia with Brexit tax and premiums it works out 40% which is ridiculous. Also the milk spotting is an issue with modern silver Britannias. So I will not be buying any Britannias again unless the Royal mint buck their ideas up and the UK abolishes the Brexit tax. And I doubt either of those are going to happen.
Most of what I buy is gold, with a little sprinkle of silver. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks Sovereign Saurus.
Yeah I still will buy a bit of silver at the right price too
This guy makes quality content 👌 one of the few no bullshit stackers
Thanks my friend 👍🏼

Wise words, the Vat and premiums on silver is crazy!!!!! J, btw, the shield on that 1871 sov is so crisp, lovely.
Thanks it's probably one of my best coins

It sounds like you have given it some thought and put a plan together. As long as she's putting on weight 👌🏽
All makes perfect sense to me.
Thanks for another great video.
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching
Best video I've seen in a while. Buy gold
Thank you 👍🏼
Good information as usual, thanks for sharing 👍
No problem 👍
That 1871 sovereign is a beauty. The 2002 shield back doesn't quite make it.
2002... It's nice but it's no Victorian shield 😁
I like the two pound double sovereigns, nice coins but like the five pounds hard to find.
I've still not owned a five actually. What a coin!
In France, the 20 Francs rooster has a premium around 6%.
Perfect for investment even if I don't find this coin as beautiful as Britannia (11% premium in France)
Thanks for sharing. About equivalent to what a sovereign is in the UK currently 👍🏼
I get Half Sovereigns $15 USD over melt and $30 for Full. Way better premiums than silver or gold 1/10 coins.
That's pretty good. Nice choice 👌🏽
You folks in the UK pay VAT on silver but here in the US the premium on silver eagles is ridiculous so that's a wash. I'm trying to buy more hold...half sovereigns don't seem to be as good a deal here as the sovereigns are but it's something to look into. Good tips.
Yeah at least you can get bars or rounds for more reasonable premiums I guess. I've heard even the gold eagle premiums are getting up there?
Yes all the eagle premiums are thru the roof. Over here maple leafs are often a better deal than eagles.
@@cmbart1 Thanks for sharing
Premiums +VAT on silver means not a hope
It doesn't look attractive does it
Great video with lots to think about. Maybe putting all your eggs in silver is not such a good idea after all. Cheers and thanks for the share SS ✌🏻😊
I wouldn't go all in on any basket unless I had a good crystal ball 😁
BTW the 1871 shield back is very tidy.
A belter hey? 🤣 One of my best buys I'd say
Silver is not an investment.
I suppose you can make money out of anything but I don't see myself picking up much physical any time soon

Many thanks will have a look 👍. There maybe a niche in the market for this. I'm sure that I saw a RM case which held around 25 blister packs!

Todays prices i swithed to full sovereigns from 1/4 oz coins not much of a difference in the weight couple of grams
Fantastic if you can get for similar premiums then why not 👍🏼
I must be looking in the wrong places, I have not seen any half sovereigns at £180 since I started stacking.
Where spot is currently after its recent rise their 'intrinsic' value sits about £190 now so likely to be paying about £200
Beautiful your so lucky wish I had some gold on my channel
How does that saying go? The harder I work the luckier I get? paraphrased maybe someone knows where it originally came from
180 .190 were from iam struggling finding halfs at the Wright price any information would be Appreciated love the videos 💯
Currently half sovs scrap price is £187 so to be honest you'd be doing well to get them sub 200 right now from the main dealers
When you buy coins and it comes in the plastic case, do you check them to make sure they are real?
Yes. Firstly buy from reputable sources to minimise risk, 2nd I check everything visually, then with the Sigma and or XRF machine, if they're not sealed in a slab then the usual weight and dimensions too. Good practice even if buying from reputable sources, just incase.
@Sovereign Saurus Thanks for responding. Yes I have been buying gold and silver. I really have to hold on to it to make a profit after sellers mark up
I’ve been liquidating silver to buy gold.
Nice one. To me it makes sense

@@SovereignSaurus I too am interested in this. Thanks.

As much as I like clanging around a handful of silver coins, like you say the price makes it hard to justify as an investment.
@@SovereignSaurus yeah sovereigns and fractional gold Britannias for me right now!!
You need to get some Eagles or Buffaloes. Here in the states, we have every type of Gold coins.
I've a couple of buffalo but have only had a few small eagles and swapped them out. Buffalo is a stunning coin
Where can I find these £100,000 houses? 😂
There are some out there in reasonably nice areas but certain parts of the country it just sounds like a joke yes
Budgets are for those with no dirt or pine cones to speak of 🤑
Haha. Stack it all
You must hold silver 20 years to even on your investment 😂
🤣
Thank you .hifive
