Gold and silver are a physical currency, a way of saving money. However, those collectors items are something entirely different: they're collectors items, just like any other valuable collectors item. You can get collectors items for speculative purposes, but it's completely different from the concept of metals as a savings account.
Alot of the gold came from here in ontario in the kirkland lake area they have a giant sovereign coin monument lol 😅 jist as you driving in to town @BackyardBullion
Love this video. As a newbie to the world of gold/ silver collecting, you have provided me with food for thought about how I can put some structure behind my stash. Unfortunately, I like shiny things and was in danger of adopting a scatter gun approach - but no longer 😂 Thank you.
When you sell gold to a dealer, whether it be a bullion coin or a low mintage made for collector proof coin, it's all scrap gold to them. That is why I only buy my proof gold on the after market when it has fallen out of the collector's minds. A lot of it can be had for less money than a brand new gold Buffalo. I recently bought a 2011 reverse proof RCM 4-coin fractional gold Maple set for 2% over spot bid. A while back, a 1987 RM 3-coin proof sovereign set for the same. I'd love to get that spectacular 2017 set, but I may have to become a centenarian to do it.
In my opinion in the long run quantity is going to pay off better because if you're wanting to buy Collectibles well that's another story if you're a stacker and just need weight then I would go with the quantity because in the long run it's all still gold or silver no matter how pretty it is or ugly
I loved the video great info I am just getting started in buying precious metals and what I am interested in most are 1 oz specialty silver bars of viking theme such as odin, Valkyrie warriors, ruins ect but the problem is they bring a premium of 10, 20 $30 over spot price of silver and are typically limited to 50,000 units or under Is it wise to buy silver at such prices ?
Balance quantity with (BU - brilliant uncirculated). Sovereigns included. I'd buy circulated coins if they are rare to complete a set and trade for better. For example, sovereigns from India are rare enough. Most of us aren't gold experts so I'd stick with that strategy.
I love good old fashioned sobs. What I struggle with is accurately putting a value to proofs. I have a 1957 QEII Sovereign and still cannot work out if I got a good deal or was just led by my heart. What’s the best way to value a proof?
Numismatic coins have a risk which, in SHTF situations won't help much ... as opposed to my Constitutional 90% Sliver ... which (mostly) has no numismatic value but, since that's not why you bought them - it doesn't matter. Just MHO.
The Quintuple coin looks amazing....yeah do you get x5 bullion or one of these hmmm 🤔 Like the approach in getting the bullion circulated sovereigns as you can handle them, quick on liquidity and an affordable price point as gold increases 😊
Some of the shall we say standard proof sovereigns from times gone for example 2010 sovereigns are now worth just the bullion price due to the rise in gold and when selling to dealers you need to know that not all dealers will offer you as much as spot 701
Numismatics and bullion are two entirely different things. The stupidest line of argument is when people who stack talk about the relationship between spot price and the cost of proof coins. Of course the premium on a small silver proof is going to be through the roof. It costs money to strike proof coins and put them in fancy boxes.
Good-day from the states bro. New to the game. Wouldn't be better to stack 10 oz Britannias over a 10 oz bar. I think over here their on avg. 10 to 12 dollars more
I dont actively collect proof coins but i do play the bullion "best value" lottery. Last time i bought a quintuple sovereign and they sent me a proof version for just over spot price, bargain!
You said "low to the ground" a total of 701 times. 😂 I just have one posh proof coin... The fightingfish. Otherwise it's about quantity. ... I do have a Tour de France / Yorkshire Silver coin and the book n stamp thingy... It's 22 gram I think. My mum bought it for me in 2014. 🙏🌌 So wouldn't dream of selling that. 👍👊
I have found that Proof Coins are difficult to get their true value when selling them. They typically offer just above spot, not anywhere near their value. So, I walk away
Quantity has a quality all of its own
For sure, that's a good way to look at it!
Short answer, quantity. Weight is what I'm after.

I love those old sovereign St. George coins because of where they were mined, and thank you for another good video!
Thanks, they are awesome!

After buying and selling a bit in a short time frame I’m going with quantity

Quantity. I'm not gambling, I'm stacking for my Family
Top graded gold proofs will always command premiums and they look superb.

Diversification calls for both plus registry set and albums. The more the merrier when it comes to gold

12:35 I would love any of the 2017 proof sovereigns. #701❤
Numismatics = quality
Stacking = quantity
Nice collection 701

I do like Seven Hundred and One.
When you sell sovereigns it don't make no difference when selling

Quality coins, quantity bars …that’s how I operate

Reality:
Gold is gold.
