What Stacking Mistakes Have You Made?

I love how he’s just describing himself becoming a collector 😂❤️

[@garryhiggs5158]

I love the sheildback sovereigns as well as the jubilee and old head Victoria's, also picked up a 2002 Elizabeth sheildback, just getting back to collecting sovereigns now that im back in the UK now thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

[@SovereignSaurus]

Lovely taste in coins 👍🏼

[@DeeCee-nb6ev]

From a stacking point then buying a coin that is my birth date as i paid over premium however it would be one of the last ones to be disposed of. It was not though bought solely for investment purposes. Not stacking enough as i never thought that Gold would rise in price as quickly as it has.

[@dleetr]

Ive yet to get a birthdate coin, but it's going to happen. Probably a Krug, which incurs tax here, so not exactly best value. There's other stuff in the stack id sell last though, than some old Krugerrand. heh.

[@SovereignSaurus]

If that's your worse mistake you're doing ok I say 👌🏽

[@ShinyPreciousMetals]

9:04 great video. 3 more specific ones to get and best value from then on.

[@SovereignSaurus]

I like that plan

[@captainflint5614]

Dear Mr. Saurus, which coin tubes are you using for your Sovereign? Do you use to capsul them and than store in the tubes?Thanks sir.

[@SovereignSaurus]

There's a link in the description of the video. Some are in capsules and then in tubes most are just loose in tubes though

[@captainflint5614]

@@SovereignSaurus Hi Sir, yes you are right. I ordered a coin tube on ebay and should be the same as yours. By the way I received two new Sovereigns and are quite pretty. Year 1890 and 1893 with Queen Victoria 😍Thanks for your support!

[@ITOXIC_YT]

buying numismatic coins was a bit of a mistake because they are harder to sell in order get back your premium

[@SovereignSaurus]

Potentially although vast majority is best value bullion and bought at favourable prices it could easily get out of hand

[@ITOXIC_YT]

@@SovereignSaurus I meant in my stack

[@johnnyb3126]

I bought fractional Silver when I first started stacking

[@SovereignSaurus]

Hope it's looking after you well!

[@pleasestandby5954]

Kind of sucks if a dealer wont pay more for a shield, they certainly charge more for them! My mistake was with my first sovereign, ordering from bullionbypost and not shopping around, could have saved some money, premium was high and not a good condition sovereign. Actually my biggest mistake was not starting to stack 20 years ago.

[@Goldylocksss]

Another great video and point of view, personally I have stacked since 2021 regularly 1oz gold britannia and best value sovereigns and if I do say so my stack is looking very nice, and a healthy cost average profit😊..Love your videos, you put me onto sovereigns years ago, so glad I found your channel..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SovereignSaurus]

I've always had lovely coins from BBP. Also their service is the best I've had consistently even during the lockdowns so don't mind paying a few quid more there but I've not sold to them for a few years. Like you say with shields most dealers don't skimp on their margins often 🤣

[@pleasestandby5954]

@@SovereignSaurus I haven't bought a best value sovereign from bullion by post, so maybe the quality is really good, the george v I got from them was heavily marked which was disappointing. Price wise currently their best value is £460, versus $444 and £438 from Atkinsons and ATS respectively. Doesn't make sense to me, but maybe I'm missing something

[@jamiefrost2091]

Ever the connoisseur,SS🎉. Some beautiful eye candy you have🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️. I always get excited when I see the George sovs. ( have you thought any more about removing the mounts from them?). Thanks for sharing 👌

[@SovereignSaurus]

To be honest I've not had chance to take them anywhere. It's still on the to-do list 🤣

[@Steve_099]

Hi mate I did leave a message on one of your older videos so I thought I would leave one here to. Would like your help with something (I’m new to gold stacking) With my budget I’m looking at 1/4oz coins so Sovereigns, I’m looking at newer sovereigns, Currently the 1/4oz Britannia premium is around the 8-9% mark so that’s why I’m going with sovereigns, can I ask, what would you say is currently a good premium for sovereigns? I was thinking around 3-5% but I wanted to get your input. Thank you, Steve

[@davidporter9131]

Non yet, but I've only been at it for 9 months. Might convert 190g of bars to sovereigns though. Any thoughts?

[@seminumismaticguy8575]

Buying bars is a mistake for a stack, it's fine for a collection.

[@SovereignSaurus]

If you get a good rate then it would probably be a good trade into CGT free sovs. Consider the fine gold content you'll end up with though... For eg 190g is almost 26 full sovs worth of gold... I wouldn't swap it for 20 sovs as it's too low and to me doesn't seem worth losing the gold content but you might be able to swing a deal for part of them or all with cash to balance it

[@harryzero1566]

I keep revisiting platinum after selling out to buy gold, 4th revisit on order now, a QB 1oz platinum lion. This time its for keeps.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Oooh that would be a nice choice. I've still never bought any. Occasionally see bits come up here and there but I feel like I either need a decent pile or not to bother 🤔

[@martync7436]

I just bought some silver. That's my biggest mistake from an investing point of view. But I really like the coins, 2023 germania mint golden eagle's. It wasn't about hoping to make a profit on them, I had an itch to scrach 😅 Thats my first ever silver. Now I want some of the 2024 golden eagle's. I should really have bought some more sovereigns instead. At least I like the coins enough that I won't want to sell them any time soon.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah having a little silver as a bit of a collection shouldn't do much harm I like silver to look at but for me I stick to gold 😎

[@steffenmoss7119]

Same as a previous comment said , not starting 25years ago. My £5k dvd collection now worth £5 lol i think gold was £300oz back then 😢

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah in some ways I wish I started sooner but I was diverting my money into other investments which have performed very well. We didn't know what we didn't know though right?

[@seminumismaticguy8575]

Bought silver, in uk its ridiculous, in my defence it was pre vat days , but premiums were daft and silver almost never out performs gold and when it does its for only the breifest of time scales .

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah I'm with you there

[@phoenixmichaels]

Only mistake I can think of is not buying a bunch of gold when it hit $1630 last (maybe for the last time LOL). That still stings.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah it's funny when I started buying gold in 2018 someone said they were waiting for a sovereign under £200 'again' we never got there and now they're £430 plus

[@phoenixmichaels]

@@SovereignSaurus I did hit the silver hard when it dropped to $20.98. Found a premium sale, 51% off too. $23.10 all in. Should have bought the gold too.

[@bullionaddict9164]

I thought I made a mistake once, but that turned out to be incorrect 🙃

[@SovereignSaurus]

🤣

[@sirvivor7835]

My only mistake was not buying Bitcoin instead.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Unless you can see the future diversification can be a good plan

[@amr8457]

I just started by my biggest mistake was buying a 1/10 oz platinum Britannia. The premium was high but the coin was calling my name. I have since traded it for something better but my love for britannia's is never ending. Britannia's in my opinion are the most beautiful constitutional silver out there right now

[@SovereignSaurus]

At least if it does turn out to be a mistake you only bought the one... Not like you've got 20k tied up just in premiums or something 😁

[@iamdalaw1]

buying 1/10 oz coins and selling those 1/10 oz coins. The irony...

[@SovereignSaurus]

Mistake 1 (and only) ….. stacking GLD and not staking BTC ;))
