Up to this Christmas the Royal Mail have been brilliant,    Sold thousands of items with only loosing 2 items. One was signed for.         But in the last 2 weeks had 4 items disappear in the post.      I know they are busy but something must be different than normal

Haven’t got a clue how to re name, perhaps a mod can do it

If they do a 2oz gold pestrucci George and dragon design do people think it will be even more popular than this?

So what do we think the gold price will do up to Christmas and in the new year? 

I feel it’s been hovering around the 1130/Oz over the last few weeks. 

I feel the economy will do well over Christmas and the New Years and then a dip should start pushing the price of gold up again. 

This is complete guess work, I don’t read. 

Thoughts? 

If  labour and SNP join forces and they get in gold will be a lot higher come Christmas.

I'd guess the gold will be a big winner in the end, especially if the series as a whole takes off - which if they choose the right designs should be a certainty

 

This is why I didn’t buy this coin.   The fact that it’s part of a series.    A one off £4K is doable but if it ends up with 3/4/5 coins that’s a different matter.    Think the coin will be a winner but will probably take time to sell also some big areas on the coin that could potentially haze

Its been a poor black friday this year for deals. Hatton Garden metals was by far the best but shame about the postage costs which then bumps the price back you. So all round disappointment!

They can’t do much more, they only charge actual postage costs, chards add extra few £ for their time.      I’m hoping HGM will realise this helped their sales greatly

It would be interesting to know the turn over of coins fro HGM in the last few days.    Haven’t bought from then since they inflated their sovereign prices..... until this week.      Let’s hope this gives them a kick up the Harris to prove there is a demand if the price is right.          Some great deals gone through the doors this week

Sovereign bullion for 2022 would be a great idea

lot of gold at HGM 1% over spot including fractionals

What annoys me is why give it a face value of £200,      Might as well be £1000 or more.    When was the last time gold was £100/Oz??

Any reason you bought from Australia?

Now available in 1kg silver

Yes, from a seller that I have done business with several times before.....

I do appreciate you raising your concerns though - very good of you to let me have your thoughts; the coin has been cleaned at some stage, and combined with a couple of mediocre iPhone photos it probably doesn't look that great.

That’s  ok, it must be the poor pics then.     Better to find out now than when it comes to sell in years to come

Continuing my "small is beautiful" (as well as being very affordable 😉) policy when it comes to acquiring more gold, I was pleased when the postman knocked the door this morning with a 1912 Half Sovereign that I did a deal on a few days ago for £135.

Its definitely passed through quite a few hands over the last 100 years or so, as can be seen when examined under a loop - but for the money, I'm very happy to be able to add it to my stack 😎

Don’t like the look of it, did you get from a trusted source?

Got my beast today. Got from the rm. I did buy the first 6 from Atkinson's and was happy they all got ms69 so for bullion coins very good. The last one that came out thought i would pay the £5 more for rm capsule and the hope that it was in top condition. Well did get my first ms70 on that one. So tryed my luck with the rm this time to. 

From the pic looks like a few marks on the coin. But could be the case.

Picked this 5 oz up on ebay. Apparently from the China mint. I have no idea what it is. 

Does anyone recognise this? I would really appreciate any information on it. 

 

Any chance it’s North Korean?

@sg86 it never ceases to amaze me how you pick up things like this with all the coins you go through.     Do you do it by eye and memory or do you have a computer program that scans then shows the obvious differences in the coins?

Fantastic deal in my opinion- it sold very quickly, I wonder if anyone here on the Forum bought it?

The silver qb proof was up for €650 ish...... now

both figures are indicating the same thing.

let's assume the paper gsr of 83-1 was a gsr

high.

at the same moment the 45-1 physical gsr

would be close enough to it's high. ie it's the

best deal you're going to get.

the numbers are different but the fact that

you should be buying silver at that point

remains the same. which method you choose

to hold your silver is down to your individual

strategy.

Got you,    I thought you were meaning to sell your gold to buy silver.     Then when it went the other way to sell silver and buy the gold back

this not so important for people who use the

gsr as an indicator(the intention is to not

actually swap gold with silver). the numbers

may change but it's the relative strength in

the numbers that counts.

think of it like the £ value changes continuously

with inflation etc. but it's never stopped people

from trading with £'s.

I’m Only plucked figures out the air but if someone is advised the gsr is 83-1 so swap gold for silver but in reality it’s say 45-1 because you have to buy silver from a dealer with a 10% premium then when it goes to sell back they will only pay 85/90% spot to are potentially losing 20% of your money in dealer charges.    This is my outlook on it

I'm curious to know are my fellow stackers still purchasing silver at the current rate? I'm limiting my silver purchases for now only really picking out items that I really like to add for my collection.

I bought a 2020 1kg elephant and gone up €70 in a week even before it’s landed.     I’ll take that

Comes back to the age old question..... what is the GSR?           Just off the charts?   What a normal person off the streets can buy for? Or what a person off the streets can sell for?      That will give you 3 hugely different figures in the U.K. and 3 different figures in US......... 

Not sure if a deal...... but wow. If not milk spotted this would be awesome

Is it better to buy gold from Europe rather than in the UK due to the pound to the euro changes?

EDIT - I mean obviously if the pound is weaker than the euro then essentially its more expensive 'BUT' its also expensive to buy from the UK, so where is better to buy from?

Some coins cheaper to get in Europe,   I collect gold Somalia elephants and they are normally £60 odd cheaper to get for Europe so with transferwise fees and shipping I’m still normally £30 better off
