    Apologies prior to asking because I'm sure this has all been answered before, but I couldn't find out everything I wanted to know from searching.

    I'm considering buying some gold

    The aim would be to sit on it for the foreseeable future and maybe in 5/10/20 years it will turn out to be a good investment, if not then oh well, i still would have enjoyed having it nonetheless

    I'm in the UK

    What shops offer the best prices? from googling it seems to be Atkinsons.

    I've looked on Ebay too but I worry about buying duds.. so probably will steer clear

    Also what would be the best type of gold to get for the long term, coins/bars? a 1oz OPM bar atm is 20 cheaper than a 2014 Britannia coin but the coins will be CGT free hmm..

    So basically I'm asking where? what? and if you can tell me when too the that is also fine :p (not asking a lot am I lol)

    Thanks for any help.

    ps. I'm also considering silver too along with gold, but gold just appeals to me more aesthetically.

    I know it's not great forum etiquette to bump your own thread, but I would appreciate if anyone could offer any advice to my original post.

    Thanks
