    I love my sovereigns, buy a couple every year, (1 for the current year and an old one), plus a new silver coin, and I use coininvest.com. They're based in Germany but the prices are really competitive and communication with them is so easy.

    Current sovereign price with them is £183.90 for reference.

    My Dad was an avid coin collector so I guess that's why I like my gold and silver coins so much.

    That's quite a stack! I'm 5.78oz in gold (bars/coins) and 376.81oz in silver coins.

    I hope the pictures don't have any geotag information in them :)

    What %age are you in precious metals? I'm not buying any more as they just sit there not earning dividends and waiting to be stolen :)

    No geotag info.

    Coins are kept in a very large safe at a secure location.

    I have my gold coin.... Walking around the house wondering where to hide it when I've finished admiring it!

    I am just curious, how much, roundabout, is an ounce of gold....
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    London gold fix is about £770, expect to pay a few percentage points above that to buy a coin

    Mine cost about 830, but the gold price is 770 or so. Not the shrewdness investment I've ever made! But it's very shiny, so that's good!

    I think buying Silver you need to pay Vat, whereas Gold is vat free.
