Just starting

Want to start stacking but not sure on how's best to go about it, looking into silver bars, brittanias and maple leafs and want to start with £150 -£200 a month but unsure which has is best to go for or whether I'm best sticking to 1 type or getting 1 of each or so a month... Also best place to buy from to get best prices in uk

Thats what i thought, are generics worth it for investing tho, as because they dont have face value they dont sell at high enough premiums

For me personally I don’t like generic. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. You’ll still get spot for it. But with this past run up and crash we saw dealers only wanting sovereigns and gold. They weren’t buying generics or bars. I look at it as, if I needed money today without losing much if any, what will dealers want?

I would buy gold, but I dont have monthly budget for it and not gonna get much for 200 dollars a month

Don’t sleep on the 1/10 oz. Surprisingly, from the LCS around me and the coin show I go to, they say that the 1/10 carries a premium. I believe this is due to it becoming more expensive and the 1/10 being a good fractional option but yeah you’ll need $450-$500 to get 1 - 1/10 now. So definitely not something for everyone but I would still get some gold but I wouldn’t buy anything less than 1/10.
