Are Fractional Gold Britannias Actually More Expensive?

[@rickbruceroche2038]

I'm getting my fractional gold a little differently. 8 x Austrian 1 Ducat and 1 x British 1/2 Sovereign. Works out to be 1.0025 ozt. and $250-290 less than buying 1/10 Britannias/Maple Leafs/US Eagles.

Lovely choices

[@garryhiggs5158]

Sovereigns all the way, I might start looking at britannias, after I complete my sovereign date run, 1880 till 2022 ,thanks for sharing .

[@MENSA.lady2]

I'm doing a similar run and have some duplicates, Let me know what years you need and maybe we can do some swaps.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Do you plan to get the more modern ones too? 2023 2024 etc?

[@garryhiggs5158]

@@SovereignSaurus I don't like the colour of the newer ones, I have some 2002 and 2022 thats about it for me, always looking for sheilds, looks like there getting thin on the ground, I think you have most of them lol

[@des_smith7658]

Next year the alloy and the colour will change

[@BogusDudeGW]

I like both. Sovereigns are obviously most recognisable and fluid, 1/4 Britannia's are 24ct and have all the extra security. I get 'this years' for both then i go for random sovereigns. Only have a few 1/10s from the queen/king transition, won't be getting anymore unless they're cheap. Not really looking to buy bigger, the size suits me and my exit plan.

I’d like to add a few gold coins to diversify a little to go alongside my stocks and premium bonds. I’ve watched from the sidelines for a couple of years now and look what’s happened I’ve missed the boat when it comes to price sadly.

[@SovereignSaurus]

I can totally understand that feeling when you miss the move but then again it depends how long the momentum continues, I think buying at multiple price points is safer but I've got a couple of videos in planning around this idea

[@JamesWilliamson-w8y]

In a word, Yes.

[@Yourtimeisnow-GG]

Thanks for the video!

[@SovereignSaurus]

No worries!

[@jamiefrost2091]

Choices, choices but I’m sticking with my first love, the good old sovereign 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️. Thanks for your input 🙆‍♂️. ( btw, I noticed that you opted out for pronouncing the Japanese name, probably a good move🤣).

[@SovereignSaurus]

🤣 I did yes. Can't go far wrong with the sovereigns surely

[@kimchi_b]

Nani?

[@tonywillis1533]

Fantastic video as usual, How come you do not have your sovereigns in capsules? Do you think getting all the sovereigns with different monarchs is a good idea? cheers

[@SovereignSaurus]

There are a few in capsules, perhaps half of them are and half are just in tubes. Having one of each monarch is a good challenge yes. For me it was a fun challenge

[@wdstauter8429]

Smaller more often allows dollar cost averaging. I’m in the US, so insert local currency average here…

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes that's it 👍🏼

[@transientstacker4310]

I like the Britannia’s but sovereigns are cool for their history. Britannias have security features and they have the nines. 9999

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah I think the mint did a good job with the Brits to be fair to them

[@daviniarobbins9298]

My budget could probably stretch to a quarter and a tenth every month but it would be tight. Am just waiting mostly now for the 2025 Britannia's to be released now. In the meantime I been buying tenth platinum coins. Got a Kookaburra tenth platinum coin coming in the post from America so hopefully it will arrive within the next two weeks.

[@SovereignSaurus]

If it's a little tight I'd probably just stick to the quarter and maybe do the occasional tenth as a little bonus

[@daviniarobbins9298]

@@SovereignSaurus I could probably do it once every few months. More probable would be a quarter or 2 to 3 tenths. Or maybes the odd 5 or 10g bar.

Very good

The smart money is in

[@jjlyon100]

Heads up! the royal mint is bringing back yellow-gold Sovereigns in 2026! :) (according to there press release)

[@SovereignSaurus]

Ohhh this is interesting thank you for sharing 👍🏼

[@gohstkilla5160]

Brittania verry expensive now

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes it's been a long time since I saw smaller denominations at low premium
