Buying gold Britannia coins

planteria

i have a few coins and stamps, inlcuding 5 of the 'Prince George' silver £20s and some Kookaburras, and some Penny Purples..

i'm not a collector, but if i had less to occupy my time i could get into coins. i would probably try to establish values of the stamps, and maybe trade some quantity for quality. a dozen stamps and a dozen coins would do me, with a Faberge egg.

a quality watch is a nice little 'addition to the estate' too, but i only have one, and it's an everyday wearer.

If you want a blingy sentimental gift that will hold some of its value long term, buy a nice watch.

Funny you should say that, back in 2006 when my son was born I flew to Geneva and bought a Rolex Explorer 2 with some money that my father left me when he died (it cost me £2k and is already worth more than that). My intention is to hand the watch down to my son at some point, along with the story of how I got it, where and why.
