    Agreed based on tax in UK, go for the gold.

    I always wanted 50 Gold sovereigns. James Bond and all that :) I was quite chuffed when I got them recently.

    Personally I'd go for the sovereigns too, because, as previously said, you'll be paying a lot of tax on the Silver. I stack both silver and gold but if I've got a relatively large amount to spend I'll get gold. I tend to buy silver in smaller amounts (financially) I'll probably end up spending as much on tax in the long run but it just feels like less when it's spread out a bit more.

    Sorry, I've no idea. I know a lot of people like the old silver coins and 'junk silver' is quite popular, but it's not something that's ever appealed to me. I just stick to the standard semi-numi and bullion 1oz coins.

    I have decided to go for gold, nearly 2k tax is just too much to take on one hit with a monster box of silver!
