Definitely have an opinion against the grain in this comment section, but I like bars more than coins for several reasons: I don't pay nearly as much, gold is gold, and I love 5 gram and 10 gram bars because I'm not wealthy and because I like the idea that I don't have everything rolled into one piece of gold.
The bars do have some plus points, keep on stacking 🙌🏽
All of the metal I plan to stack from the Royal Mint moving forward is GOLD. I'm tired of the milk spotting issues, so giving up on RM silver. That Britannia bar is wonderful👍👍
Yes I've currently no plans to buy silver from the Royal mint unless there's some sort of bargain and would only be bullion then too
Gold is gold, yes it's a good investment or hold. It doesn't matter if it's a bar or a coin, gold is gold.
Gold is gold until you come to sell 😁 In the UK the type of gold influences your taxes and the price you'll get from a dealer or on the 2nd hand market 👍🏼
Just realised i recognised some of your stack - and know who you are on another platform! Great content especially for noobs getting into the hobby - i think vids like this really help people starting out 👍
Thanks for sharing
Much appreciated! 👍🏼
Love your content mate. Subscribed!
Much appreciated, all the best for 2023
I tend avoid buy anything that I can not open, that I can not touch nor weight. Definitely not something for me
Yeah I can appreciate that. Much nicer to be able to do what you want and not worry
Most of my wife’s and my stacked gold is in Pamp and RMC 1-oz bars in assay cards, purchased from reputable dealers. We’re not collectors, so it’s all about weight, lowest premium and purity.
Cool, a good option in Canada where I believe non pure (22ct gold) isn't as economical to buy?
@@SovereignSaurus We’re in the US. The RMC bars were from Republic Mining Corp.
I like the Perth Mint Rectangular Dragon Coin. It’s a bar and a coin.
Yes very true. I guess it's very similar dimensions. l love the earlier years
I find minted/assayed bars a bit tacky for some reason, if I was gonna buy a gold bar over a coin it would be cast every time.
True when people say gold on assay like it’s something that can’t be faked I cringe and think dumb arse
Yeah if the gold can be faked surely a plastic card can be
Cast is my favourite too
Thanks for the video fam
Any time
One coin and rest all bar. And that coin will only be with HM the Late Queen.
Nice sentiment
Even though the Brit bar looks cool, I’d still go for the coin👌. Saying that, I’ve got 2 James Bond gold bars which I love!!! (Nostalgia). J.
Haha yes they are nice and bring back the memories but haven't picked one up. Seen a few silver ones change hand readily
Where do you buy for gold and silver from? Any recommendations for the best prices and trust worthy
I love the bar
Yeah it's nice hey
Beautiful bar well done you womble stacker
It's a bit out of place in my stack haha
I really love cast gold bars over minted bars, as they have that unique lustrous treasure-like quality. They can be bought at 1oz size for even lower premium than a 1oz bullion coin. But I prefer 1oz coins, and cast bars for anything above 1oz. Minted bars in a protective encasement look odd, generic, and unappealing. But that's just me :)
Yeah some people like the presentation I'm with you though
I do buy gold bar with Royal mint , even PAMP suisse lady fortuna , Canadian Mint & Perth Mint. Because they have really good designs. But it just for collection. Honestly, I mush go for stack a gold who had face value.
For a collection it would be perfect. Some lovely bars out there and as collections go, probably one of the smartest things to collect as it will always be gold.
Not into stacking gold bars, however if I did the Britannia and RCM are on my wish list.
The RCM is another nice one yes
I have a 100g britannia bar
Awesome I didn't realise they came in bigger gold sizes I saw a 50g about the day after I made the video too. 100g must be a stunner congratulations
Why do some of the Britannia bars have an RM before the serial number and others have an SB? Is this just older vs newer?
It could perhaps indicate different batches although I'm not sure exactly
@@SovereignSaurus that’s what I’m thinking too. Thanks for the reply!
Quick answer : not really.
Coins seem the better option for UK folks
Hate the cardboard and plastic. Only got a 2.5 gram pressed bar, bent the hell out of it freeing it from its prison. (Hehe) might melt it into a nugget one day.👍
Yeah better free to the world 😁
Do brittania gold coins have a higher return on investment over gold bars? Thanks.
Some people on the 2nd hand market might pay a little more than something more generic. The Una and the lion version seems quite hard to come by though so I imagine there was a little mark up to be made if you got those at release
Hi Sovereign Saurus, iv been offered a 1989 , 3 coin sovereign set. 2,1, 1/2. Should be a good investment?
They are a popular set that command quite a premium. The appropriate price depends a lot on condition though. If your intention is to grade then you'd really want to get as perfect of a coin set as possible and likely pay more, if you just want to appreciate the design in your collection maybe a coin that appears in a lower grade and lower price point could work. There is a website called coin archive you can search for them and see some sold prices also try searching eBay sold prices to see what you think is a fair price, as I say condition will play a large part
@@SovereignSaurus thanks for your reply. Very informative
Coins or bars, I like both.
Haha yes true
Definitely the Gold Britainia coin over the bar.
However, I would like to get the Britainia bar down the road.
Yeah for stacking it makes sense
I like the special limited edition bars from the Royal Mint like the Una and the Lion and the Three Graces. As for the Britannia bar, I prefer the design on the gold Britannia coin
Yeah I've not had an Una bar in hand but they do look nice.
Salmos 12 vs 67 , Salmos 91vs7 , Apoc 12vs7 , em sequencia !!! Do inicio ao fim !
👍🏼
I just don't vibe with bars, having to keep them in the assay to retain any form of premium, the space they take up, how small bars below 20g are. I don't have a sigma or anything but can confidently check if a gold coin is legit, but much harder through a plastic assay for a bar
Good points. I was very underwhelmed by smaller bars but this 1 Oz I'm quite happy with. It does kinda niggle at me being a bit of an outlier in the stack aside from the Britannia design 🤔🙄
@@SovereignSaurus I was surprised by the size in this video too, it looks bigger than the 1oz silver three graces bar I have. Since gold is much denser, I thought the 1oz would still look pretty small
Silver bars are for playing with!!!
Couple of nice cast pieces to clunk together
UNBELIVEBLE
Thanks for watching
UAU , BR ITA NN IA
It's a nice design alright
Given up on coins. Always buying silver and gold bars now. Low premiums and easy to sell anywhere. Selling coins is far harder I've found . Not that I sell my stacks much but just info for others
Thanks for dropping by. That's interesting, I've always found the opposite in the UK. Second hand market especially.... Many people are worried about buying bars and steer clear opting for coins. If you're buying coins with a legal tender status in the UK they're usually Capital Gains Tax free too
@Sovereign Saurus I sold some coins in 2018 . I needed fast cash on the day and didn't have a bullion shop near me. Made the mistake of going to a jewellery shop / pawn shop.and they wanted to acid test them or drill a small whole . Again I may have gone to an uneducated shop or they didn't have the more modern equipment to test gold. But due to that expiernce I've opted for what I call ugly bars now instead of the bullion. I find the silver bullion from the royal mint are always milky and poor condition so again I've started buying bars now .
My purchases are more of a future pot for my kids , as history has taught me it may only be small but gold keeps up with inflation where as my banks do not .
Gold premiums are high at the moment also on coins. Again I've opted to buy gold over silver now when I can but I do like to keep a mixture.
I thank you kind sir for the reply. Look forward for future content !
Imagine buying gold and never touching or hearing chink. No thanks
Brings a shiver down my spine thinking about it
