Another 45g of panda goodness! 

What a 'feel good' thread!
It's what I like about the forum, we can discuss things like this and there's no jealousy or animosity, just support and encouragement.
If you can, encourage just ONE of your family or friends to save in gold.
Then you have at least one person to talk to when the forum goes down 😂

@bobski posted the gold price
@BLOOMMAN101 posted charts  @Chronos posted useful links that get me excited about when moon 📈 @Petra posted lots of emojis @katyc posted lots of gifs @James32 ate Irish stew in his vault @Paul went to the pub and got  Chinese on the way back @stefffana polished his spoons @HerefordBullyun wiped something on his curtains    £1868  

Well done and especially in the short amount of time it took 👏 
 
Im in the kilo club too. Shame its just bloody silver 😄

Purchased a special sovereign off @James32 last week which means I owe a massive thanks to everyone on TSF as I've hit the 1kg of gold in full sovereigns 🙂 (That's 137 to save anyone counting 😂).
I started this journey just under 3 years ago after happening upon TSF after looking up what one was worth that was given to me by my grandparents when I was born. Gave myself the target of 1kg in 10 years (1 per month plus a few) and have smashed that. Honestly the best decision I've done and a great little nest egg for retirement. Here's to the next kg and once again, thank you all 😀🥰

More photos…Outside edge thickness 2017, 2021, 2024

Hello everyone! 😬 Apologies for the delay; you won’t believe how much I struggled to get  an LR44 battery for my callipers! 🙄
Anyway, re-did the stacking and tested measurements (Width and thickness) and the results are…inconclusive? 
 
Please see photos attached: the 2017 stack of 25x Britannias is still 1 whole coin to 1 1/2 coins taller than the 2024 stack, while the 2021 stack is somewhere in-between. The thickness of the 2021 coin, however, is 0.01 mm taller than the 2024 stack so you’d think overall that stack would be slightly taller (but this could be due to user error 😋). What does look likely, however is that the 2024 coins have a height of 0.03/0.04mm less than the other coins and counted up over 25x will result in a stack 0.75-1mm shorter than the others, which does seem not to be the case at the 2017 stack is at least 3mm taller than the 2024! 🤷🏽‍♂️ 
Anyway, anybody else want to play Scrooge McDuck and measure the size of your stacks, please be my guest and tell us if they are within the tolerance(s)?
 

I wish they made salt spray too. It's a bugger seasoning soup with pepper spray and a salt grinder

This is how I picture @stefffana getting ready for a date. 

Here are the contacts for Nuie, feel free to ask them 

I was buying at peak, I buy whenever I have the money and something I want comes up for sale and nuts to the spot price
 

1. If an airplane's black box is indestructible, why don't they make the whole plane out of it?
2. Why is there a 'D' in 'fridge' but not in 'refrigerator'?
3. If you try to fail, but succeed, which did you do?
4. If a tomato is a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?
5. Why do we call them "apartments" if they're all stuck together?
6. Why do we say we 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up crying every few hours?
7. If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the others have to follow?
8. If you had your arm amputated, would it still be there in spirit when someone asks you to "give them a hand"?
9. How can something be 'new and improved'? If it's new, what was improved? If it's improved, how is it new?

Honestly, I go away for a few days for some whippet pie and gravy and leave you guys in charge of the thread
And look what happens to the price of gold, it's all gone to tits 
Yous lot couldnt be trusted to run a bath

Finally got my hands on this 1/2 ounce Pyx Gold Standard. I was expecting the coin to look a bit of a mess but I'm pleasantly surprised!

A 1/10th Gold Brit from @bobski and an 1879 Melbourne Sov thanks to @Auronum

Finally managed to pick this one up from the post office today - they are a lot more choosy with leaving parcels on the doorstep than they used to be (which is probably just as well…). A cracking 20 oz Scottsdale kitkat bar, courtesy of @Tn21 - thank you 🙏
