Which gold coins for stacking?

[Doc Holliday]

Just a quick one for the coin/bullion folk out there. Which would you recommend out of sovereigns/half sovereigns or 1oz Gold Brittanias to start stacking with?

Sovereigns or Half-Sovereigns. Why? They are cheaper to buy and more importantly you can realise your investment in your gold in smaller bites than if you have only coins of the full on one ounce weight.

Sovereigns and 1/2 sovereigns for sure.  You are stacking, not collecting.  1 oz of gold is hard to split.  A penny and a £10 set of 100g scales off Amazon and you are very unlikely to be diddled.  A sovereign is just thinner than a penny, lay them side by side and you can just feel the difference.  A penny sits just inside the edge of a sovereign.  Fakes that are not easy to spot are rare, especially if you buy from a gold shop.  Coin fares are often good sources too and you can normally get newly minted sovereigns at a couple % over spot.

I only buy full sovereigns. I buy online and use either chards or atkinsons.
