This is the mini gold coin collection I've put together since Jan 14.

Aim of the collection is a saving scheme for my 5yr old daughter which will hopefully be a nice deposit on a house by the time she's 18 or 21.

Got a 1/10 lunar tiger, ox and snake coming in the post from oz/germany which will bring the 1/10 Lunar series II up to date.

Surprising how it builds up in a short period of time, the money invested in this would have otherwise been spent on crap :)

The obsessive compulsive part of me would love to cut open those 1986/2005 panda's and stick them in the square capsules but I will resist!

1/4 2013 Canadian Maple
1/4 2014 Chinese Panda
1/10 2013 Australian Kangaroo
1/20 2013 Year of the snake
1/4 2013 Krugerrand
1/4 2013 Philharmonica
1/4 Gold eagle
1/2 of Proof Angel
1/4 Britannia
1/10 Lunar Dragon
1/10 Lunar Horse
Valaurium gold note - miners

Great job on collecting. I can tell you are a saver, which is a Good quality to have. I have a daughter just a little younger than yours and I plan to give so to her when she is older, but mine is more for general investing and diversification, vs. passing it down.

I wanted to collect something that I enjoyed looking at, and that had real value you could hold, feel, and touch. I also have accumulated a nice of silver for only 5 weeks into this, but I after my rapid accumulation, I don't see much buying in the near future. as I am broke. My current ratio is 75% Gold and 25% silver and I plan to get more silver still because I want certain coins, but Gold is going to be my main focus because it is easier to handle, just harder to buy $$$$. I have been stacking for 5 weeks and went a little overboard and purchased very but that doesn't mean they are always true.

A true stacker never discloses his stack, but it is interesting to see what other people have, like all the videos on You Tube.. I love watching those.
 
Nice gold collection, and in such a short time. Keep stacking at this rate and in a few years you will have a HUGE gold collection.
 
Nice collection! 2 questions:

1) Why do you buy small coins (e.g. 1/10 oz), since the premium is so high? Why not wait a bit longer and buy 1/2 oz or 1 oz coins?

2) I hope you put this in the bank, and don't keep it at home!!!!!

Mostly 1/4 oz that I pick up when they are on offer so the premium isnt that far off 1/2 or 1oz coins.

The lunar series are 1/10 and some Panda's that I got for a very good price too.
 
Another to add to the collection, a 1980 quintuple sovereign.

Have to say I think this is my new favorite coin (probably because its huge :) )

Fantastic collection of coins. This is exactly what i'm doing for my 1 year old daughter (and any future children). I'm looking to go for 1oz gold coins so will take me quite a bit longer to save up for each one. I've already wrote else where that i shall invest in my first gold coin going into the new year.

You win the "mine is shinier than yours" competition :)

Meh, no need for competition when it comes to gold coins. We all buy what we like and can afford and we are all proud of our acquisitions. :cool:
 
I'd be over the moon getting home on a gloomy day and pulling a few of those out! (hopefully the rest will be in a safety deposit box somewhere).
