Best to borrow Threaded's time machine. Go back to 2003 and buy it when Brown was selling it for $300 / oz?
For a SHTF situation, sovs are probably better being smaller in value if you have to spend them. On the other hand, bid/offer spread is better on the larger coins.

If gold crashes or falls, I'll take that risk. But a crash in gold means the world's financial worries have all magically vanished and people have faith in paper money again.
So, back to the question, does it matter if I buy Sovs or Brits?
PS. Now it remember why I don't bother with CUK anymore. About as much use as a chocolate teapot. Back to some useful forums for me with a few intelligent people on there.

I don't have an opinion other than do your own research.

Note: It makes no sense if you are a UK tax payer to buy Krugs or any other non-UK gold coin as there is no CGT to pay on legal tender coins.
