Good Evening all.

I would first like to point out I am not a gold/silver collector, yet. I have however been doing a little research the past few weeks. I am planning to change 10% of my wealth the gold at this stage.I am looking at long term collecting 30+ years .I also apologies if I ramble I will try to get to the point as soon as I can.

For my first purchase I am planning to get a complete set under the 30k mark. As a sort of strong base ( and then follow on regular 1 oz gold coin purchases )

I am very interesting the 1899 - 1931 Perth Mint Sovereign Collection. The Perth Mint sells the entire set ( by chance ) 33 gold sovereign, VF/UNC, with Certificate in a show box ( all the trimmings basically ) at a price of 28k AUD. I have been looking around and on some sites I have heard that the collection can be completed in under 20k ( taking months/years to find all the coins ). So my question.. Does anyone have any experience with these coins/collections? Is the price bought at the Perth Mint for 28k set at an inflated price ( possibly ) due to the immediate complete set+ cert+ box etc. Basically, would the collection by the Perth Mint be a good investment in 30+ years, or would it be just as good buying the coins individually over the years?

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. As I said I am brand new to gold investing so feel free to talk to me as a child.

I'm with the thought that hunting down the loose coins would be cheaper
and maybe more fun too. each coin will have a history so should make the
set that much better.

It may come down to a choice of whether you can allocate the time to do
the actual hunting that determines you decision.

just my thoughts, and not advice.

Hi Squizz
I know a guy who has an older set of these sovereigns from around the 90's or so in a leather type case. I think he was wanting around 20k+ the last time I talked to him. Don't know if he sold but if you are interested put up a post and I'll talk to him again

Hi Squizz
and
To the Forum.
As far as getting a set from the Perth Mint, Forget about it .
Most Sov's are now selling for about $400 for run of the mill coins.
Take some time and do some research on which particular coins have a numismatic value and get hold of some slabbed examples if you want to add to your portfolio otherwise just buy bullion.
