2 years, 4 months, 6 days as a Forum member and investing in PM's I have hit three kilos of Gold milestone now breached 👍
With thanks to the wider Forum 🙂 and The European Mint where I have purchased a large majority of my Queens Beast coins.
I have had to sell large proportion of my Silver and part of my Gold stack to finish off remaining 1oz Gold Queens Beast coins and a special thanks to everyone traded with me/provided help and advice:

All coins safely stored in non-banking private safety deposit box. Apologies lighting the photos were taken in the secure storage facility and I had 15 minutes access my safety deposit box due to covid restrictions.

Drum roll please for the main attraction.......
100 oz Gold Queens Beast bullion coins

Just for the sake of easy back of the beer mat not set in stone maths, using random google generic search threads for ball park stats
 
" 1970s average house price - £4975  At the start of the decade the average house price was £4,975. By the end, that figure had quadrupled to £19,925. "
"In 1970, the average weekly wage was around £32. A loaf of bread cost 9p. A property could be bought in places for £4,975." 
x£32 wage x x52 weeks = £1,664 yr   or £138 a month
So, House was £4975 / £14oz  = would cost you x355oz gold to buy
An annual wage £1,664 / £14oz = would get you x83oz of gold per year pay 
 
Today, "The median annual earnings for full-time employees in the United Kingdom was approximately £30,035 thousand British pounds in 2019. "
As the market stands as of July 2019, the average house price in the UK was 233 thousand British pounds (£233,000). The highest.7 Apr 2020
 
So annual wage of £30,035 / current £1400oz = x21 oz gold salary
£233,000 house / £1400oz gold = costs you x166oz of gold now to buy 
 
Was gold cheap then and houses expensive? are houses cheap now and gold too expensive? were we better paid in 1970 ? makes you think
