We have been thinking of adding an option for micropayments allowing packs of SuperLIKES and SuperLOVES to be purchased for small amounts of money, this adds a bit of fun and allows very small micropayments to be made when members are in the mood to help support TSF further on an ad hoc basis. 

Adding this feature is however quite complicated for several reasons including exactly how to implement it and there are some other future planned improvements on micropayments from the forum software company though, so any custom modifications may clash with those future native improvements. So we have put this on hold (and may or may not release an option to purchase reaction packs in the future).

We have instead made an implementation which has allowed us to give a small increase to the SuperLOVE reaction limit for Platinum PLUS Premium Members, at no additional cost for Platinum PLUS Premium Members. 

Platinum PLUS Premium Members pay more for their membership vs Platinum, with the main benefit being an increase in the offers from Dealers in the Platinum Offers from Selected Dealers Programme*, largest discounts on grading with @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions as well as the benefits of showing their additional support of TSF with the Platinum PLUS Premium Member badge.

*Note that it is possible for members to save more per month than what they pay in membership fees simply by the discounts and offers that they get through this program. For more details on these Platinum discounts and offers please see here. The same can be said for trading directly on TSF and many members have reported that they save more money buying and selling on the forum (vs with dealers) than the cost of the monthly Membership Fee, making upgrading logical for that reason alone. 

We would like to add even more benefits to the Platinum PLUS Premium Membership level. One of the benefits that we are now in a position to be able to offer is a slight increase to the amount of SuperLOVE reactions that can be used per day. With so much high quality content on TSF and beautiful photos of coins and bars added every day by members, there is a lot to love. 

We have decided to make a the increase to the amount of SuperLOVE reactions that Platinum PLUS Premium Members are able to use relatively small. We have increased this limit like this in order to still still keep the value of these SuperLOVE reactions high (as each one is worth 10x reputation points, and 10x rank points, vs 1x for Likes and Thanks, and 3x for SuperLikes and Super Thanks) They should therefore be used very sparingly and only for the most enjoyed content. 

Platinum PLUS, Official Sponsors, and Moderators/Admin will be able to use the SuperLOVE reaction 5x times per day. (@stefffana I am tagging you in here as you have recently upgraded your membership (thanks!) and I am sure you will appreciate this new increase, it was originally planned at only 3x increase, and you have 5x so please do not complain when you hit your daily limits 😝)

Both Platinum and Platinum PLUS Premium Members continue to enjoy unlimited SuperLIKES everyday.

If there are members (Platinum) or other level members who are interested in upgrading to Platinum PLUS, I would be happy to extend a small discount on the first year or first month if wishing to upgrade. Please private message me in regards to this linking to this topic and reminding me of this statement (before the end of August 2023) and I will be happy to help out. 

Thank you to all members who choose to support TSF with Premium Membership and an extra special thank you to Platinum Group Premium Members.

Seems to be some error with the spot bar bar, so I have temporarily hidden it. Will see if I can fix tomorrow (Monday) and if not try to get a developer to look at it in more detail.

Hi everyone! I'm new and looking to learn about buying and selling precious metals. I've never used a forum before, let alone a precious metals forum, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hi.
New kid on the block. Started collecting coins a while ago and a mate intro’d me to this site over the weekend.
looking to increase my stack with varying gold and silver coins / bars etc.
Always willing to learn, always accept advice and looking to learn about the world of precious metal collecting. 👍🏻👍🏻

Only seeing this now too 🤣
Welcome aboard.

No Worries @ChrisSilver, as you say better late then never. If you feel bad about it you could always fling a bonus my way 😉
But seriously the forum has been very welcoming and a grand place to explore. I'm looking forward to buying/selling and other surprises that might be in store as time goes on. Worth every penny and glad you had the gumption to create such a place.

I've realised that I haven't replied to this topic and official welcomed you @monkey. So better late than never: hello and welcome to The Silver Forum 😄

Hello and welcome to The Silver Forum  

Item: 2009 Gold 1oz Ultra High Relief Double Eagle

Price: £2,450 + £15 shipping
Item Location: UK
Shipping Destinations: UK only
Shipping Method: Royal Mail Special Delivery
Payment Terms: Bank transfer in GBP only

So am I #42 or #43, I will need @stefffana to decide  
 

£850 each plus post
Both with COA 

The 1/10ths are small (and text extremely hard or impossible to read on some of them with the naked eye 😄), and premiums are higher, but they are also very easy to sell on here. being more budget friendly.  And some of the premium you can likely get back at resale. 

Also need to bear in mind that if selling 10x 1/10ths individually in the future to 10 different members, it is more work than selling 1x 1oz coin.

In the end, maybe simply having a diverse stack with multiple different weight options is actually the best way to go?

Welcome @Torph to the forum!
Defiantly worth considering becoming a paid member. you will probably sell your listings quicker and gain trust a little quicker. Just be weary of the other listings, you may end up buying more then you sell 😆.
If you have any questions, the community will be very supportive and help where it can.
Hope the forum proves to be a valuable asset to you!

Thank you Chris
I'm trying to get up to speed with the various guides - they've been very helpful

The 1/10ths are small (and text extremely hard or impossible to read on some of them with the naked eye 😄), and premiums are higher, but they are also very easy to sell on here. being more budget friendly.  And some of the premium you can likely get back at resale.

I had to raise a good sum of cash earlier in the year, the 1oz coins helped me reach my target quick when priced right, the sovs sold quick too, but I had to sell them in bundles at a lower price to raise the capital. It wasnt too bad as I was in profit with them anyway - but I could have got a good amount more out of them if listed individually, but time wasnt on my side. But again peoples financial circumstances will vary, the caveat is to have a range of sizes. Sometimes you may need a little bit of cash, sometimes you may need a lot. A more important lesson is to have a good amount of cash saved, so you don't have to liquidate LOL.

I buy 1/10oz due to the price, rather than the premium.  They are a bit small, but I can still see the detail on them...in good daylight next to a window anyway. 😄
I made the mistake of buying a 1/8th Sovereign last year, can't really see much on that.  Have no intentions of buying smaller than a 1/10oz again.
I've had a bit extra spare over the past few months, so bought 1/4oz instead of tenths...bit easier to see, but due to the way circle area works, not as bigger difference as I was expecting.
I'm still buying more for a collection though, so not fussed about investment.  I do think they're good value for money bought brand new - especially when compared to the premium on brand new 1oz silver.

No probs  I'll work with you guys to sort this out  you guys are amazing!

@SALondoner I’ve messaged you and can arrange to return and swap your prize!  Sorry for the mixup! 100% my fault!
