How 'bad' are the scratches? Have you a photo?

Hi. It depends on a lot of things... Some people like to go as a % of overall portfolio, some people want to have a certain £ amount to cover say 3 months living expenses. For some it's just money stored in silver that would otherwise have been 'lost' gambling, drinking etc Your reasoning for silver in the first place should help you decide. Whatever total you decide is right for you I'd suggest to average in your position and not buy it all at once. For example you think silver will remain stable and want £12k worth of silver stored to cover an unexpected night out, it would be wise to buy in a few different batches say 2k at a time spread over the next year (your choice, the takeaway being you will not risk buying in on one transaction that could be the highest price of the year) you might buy some at £17 per oz some at £18 an oz then some at £16.50 an oz and then some at £22.

Hello. I and many other members could vouch for Baird mint being a reputable dealer but like you say being in the UK that could be an issue. I'll let someone else step in who perhaps has experience on that. Some other European dealers incase you've not already come across them goldsilver.be and silver-to-go Even if you've not got an incentive for CGT free coins the modern Britannias have a couple of security features making them quite popular though my experience is that quality is poor. Recent year maples have been the best in terms of quality that I've personally seen

Did they run out of 2022 sovs?

Proof coins and bullion coins are on a different release schedule I heard 👌🏽

Forex traders are doing this daily digitally... It could potentially work with physical if you can get low spreads on your exchange and one currency falls vs the other. Look at a few currency pair charts for eg gbp/chf and there was a 50% swing in exchange rate over a few years from 2007 to 2011 If you bought £10k worth of CHF you could have then sold it and bought back 50% more GBP in theory Equally if people with a currency that has really suffered in recent years bought CHF or USD as opposed to saving in their local currency it could have protected their funds

Welcome to TSF. Easy to go from dipping a toe in to deep sea diving in no time. Go steady

Don't t leave us all hanging on half the story. How many did you buy? Did you 'back up the truck?' 😂

I like the cast bars. Baird quite nice. I've not bought from Sharps but they are a genuine outfit many members have purchased from there. The downsides to bars vs say Britannias or Sovereigns, they are not exempt from CGT which may or may not be an issue when you sell anyhow. You can call a few dealers and ask what they pay for 50g gold bars compared to sovs or brits. (eg spot or 99% or 98% or whatever. Otherwise it might become more difficult to post the 50g bar if gold price increase much more as SD covers to £2500. Dealers are equipped for this but might just be another minor inconvenience should you decide to sell. I've heard it from a couple of dealers they prefer equivalent value in sovs than bars as they just more popular but I doubt there are any established dealers who wouldn't buy a 50g bar

Cost averaging will keep us safe 👍🏽

There are many options in most towns or cities. Best bet just search desired town and safe deposit box. Some open Sunday too. Can be from as little as £10 a month.

Ahh yes gentleman's metal 👍🏽😂

Gold down about 11% in USD from March and about 5% in GBP GBP /USD from around 13200 down to 12300 in 2 months

As @stefffana infers though we should remain on topic. Whilst XAU has dropped back in USD terms us shopper's could do with GBP gaining from where it is. Right now it's not far off its weakest point in years

I think there is a whole section of the forum dedicated to the peasants metal somewhere 😂
