Not quite the question you're asking but on topic in terms of ethically sourced gold there is 'Green' gold by Valcambi. The bars come in their green assay card rather than the orange. 

@DuncanWylieWilson might have some further info or know where to look. 

Everything has a price but I'd keep the Reaper of Death coin 'til last if I sold my silver. 

Cong-🐀🐀 

Some pics of the gold in here too

👌🏽

These kind of competitions usually have painfully obvious questions and answers don't they? 

Going to need to Google it

If S does HTF I'll be hiding in here. Probably starving and thirsty waiting for my sovs to turn into food

There are a really surprising number of bunkers in the U.K. 

Lots of Cold War bunkers ranging ROC Bunkers

Some interesting ones about though like you say a lot are filled in or vandalised some still remain. 

I can understand getting one or two especially of this year's design but not something I'd stack a lot of. Seems like the worst of both worlds? A bit like half oz gold coins

Anyone know a dealer who has the DS apart from the Royal Mint and in stock?

Thanks

Do Costco have them? Someone just shared in gold deals the full sov is well priced there at the moment 

Just a drill. All fixed now. 

Frantically trying to call the boss and tell him the last message was a mistake. I didn't really mean that bit about sticking the job up his... 😂

If anyone is after a bargain I've a few thousand oz of silver at a mere £1300 per oz, saving £50 per oz below spot 😏

Want to buy 4000 oz at £1300 an oz? £50 an oz below spot mate 😂

That GS ratio has really tightened up recently

Just posted the same 🧐🤔

Anyone else seeing that? 🧐

If you know any local farmers go and ask them about fertiliser prices the past year then stand back 😬

Along with other costs going up, these prices haven't made their way into supermarkets yet. It's fertiliser that's bought for this year's crops that are growing still and only be harvested later this year.

Thanks for the update, I'll sit tight and wait and update the thread when the order arrives.

Free storage in the meantime 😁

Did your 2022 sovereign arrive? I placed a pre-order with them back in early January and I've had no calls or coins yet 🙁

 

My order arrived yes. They said they've had a small delivery so were fulfilling orders in order so some might be a week or two later 👍🏽 

I've got literally a couple. They cost a few quid and picked them up just for a bit of fun to go in a collection of hyper inflation era banknotes. As a collectible novelty item costing similar to what people might spend on grabbing a coffee cool. 

As an investment or way of stacking precious metals, no i don't think they fulllfil that purpose and clearly there are far more economical ways of stacking metals. 

Welcome to the forum. Ideally you want to pay as close to the (fluctuating) spot price as you can. 

The issue you'll realise is that VAT is added on to buying these coins when you buy so you might see £22 on the website then go to checkout it has jumped up 20% due to this. 

Equally buying from abroad and having delivered to UK customs will hold your package until you pay the VAT that is due (along with an additional customs fee so likely to cost more all up) 

Buying on the forum and second hand market there is no VAT added and through the forum no fees for sellers like online auction sites, so it is probably going to be your best bet.

With that said sometimes get offers that can be attractive. This dealer has been shared in the 'silver deals' forum section.

Otherwise keep an eye on the sales section of the forum and just observe for a few weeks until you get a feel for prices and decide what the going rate is. 👍🏽

Welcome to the forum. Sounds great. I sometimes watch a chap on YT I imagine you have heard of, Jason at Mount Baker Mining and Metals. Found his simple videos about the processes quite interesting, from what you've said it might be worth taking a look

Otherwise if you're looking for something cast or poured there are a few people doing that kind of thing on the forum @LiquidMetalsUK might be able to help? 

Hey

Not sure on the kind of scale you're after but check out Bulmint. They make their own products and also manufacture for other companies.

I have noticed a lot of people selling recently

For someone to have been selling, does that not mean someone else has to be buying? 🧐😁
