goferit 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Don't get this wrong....I'm not loaded with spare cash....BUT, I've been thinking about saving for, and buying a gold sovereign each for my grand-chidren.Does any-one on here know the best place on the web to purchase ??Are there any minus issues ?(apart from the price of gold dropping)It just seems like a waste of time putting any money into banks / building societies. At the moment gold seems to be rising in cost, daily..What do you folk think??Appreciate sensible answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee1 1 Posted March 1, 2013 You could try ebay,but to be honest all the Gold dealers are snapping them up you could invest in scrap gold and still get good returns when the prices are rightI know this dont help much but buying and selling gold is a mine field at the momentI can remember buying gold at £90.00 a ounce 10 year ago tripple that nowyou could try thesehttp://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-coins/full-sovereign-gold-coin/?gclid=CN3c_Nqa3LUCFVDMtAodVW4AWwwith Gold sovereigns the older the better as these seem to be the best for greater returns,try looking round antique fairs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goferit 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks Lee, for your prompt answer--I have looked at several, on line sites, including this one, The more I look The more confusing it seems, lots of different prices on what is essentially the same thing; Royal mint seeming to be the dearest??Just was hoping some-one may know which is the best, /safest way of investing in coins..

Tony nitrous 0 Posted March 2, 2013 Another thing to keep in mind....Will you keep them insured and pay for that ?If so, it will carry an extra cost,If not then your investment carries an extra risk.No possessions are 100% safe.I'd certainly say Gold is worth considering as long as you do your homework and realise the risks.

Better than leaving in a draw at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goferit 0 Posted March 3, 2013 YEAH--- All things to be considered; --Gonna give it some thoughts, there's no rush,I just like to Put some-thing a bit special back for the little onesthat won't get taxed, or gobbled up by inflation.It's not like I'm going to buy loads of 'em--(like to think I could) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
