@GoldenGriffin - i forgot you also had the 1oz proof, that's insane! But massive congrats. that's very impressive. I dont even see many 1oz QB proofs for sell at all. I'm only after PF70 so won't be buying an raw coins. my OCD will just destroy me if i get one that has a mark on it... Your sare not graded right? will you ever grade them?

@Connor - sell your house 🤣🤣

I can't do that, other people live here too 🤣🤣

abyss has quite an impressive collection, 10 full sets of 1oz gold QB. 😳

Thanks @Touvex that's kind of you to say 😊

I do have gold bullion and have seen the QB's in bullion form and the difference is significant enough to make you dig deep into your pocket for them! 😅  The RM's bullion version of the QB's is not as good as some other bullion ranges out there, like from Perth mint. 

I do have the full set in quarter oz (apart from 1) and full set in 1 oz and a few 5 oz pieces - I couldn't resist, they're so unusual and stunning!

I've seen some gold proofs on Ebay queens beasts gold proof | eBay and some aren't graded, so depends on how bad you'd want them to be in 70 grade?

The QB bug is difficult to shake off! 

 

 

I'd have to rob a bank to compete with this kind of collection 🤣

That’s because the interest/profit for them is in the premiums already. They are cowboys and clowns all rolled into one. 

Yeah agreed 100%. I have made one purchase from them, and received unknown amounts of spam since, despite removing my address and asking not to be contacted by post. Borderline harassment 😂

Ordered the £299 2021 gold sovereign yesterday from Harrington and Byrne.

Sign up email and confirmation email went straight to trash inbox. Payment has cleared. Checked your junk/trash box. 

Received a phone call today from a Bournemouth landline, turns out to be Harrington and Byrne. 

A man called Warren, asked if I wanted to upgrade to a proof version of the 2021 gold sovereign. For only £899! 🤯The 2021 proof sovereign is very special as it’s marked with “95” to celebrate our Majesty the Queen’s birthday. This could then be passed down the generations to my children and grandchildren who will be forever grateful... only a £100 extra payment was required and then a payment plan could be set up.....

So I don’t know if this is a good deal or not? ... I don’t collect gold proofs. Hopefully I don’t get anymore phone calls. 😅
 

They offered me a quarter ounce griffin of Edward for £999. 😂 the only thing I will say in their defence, they are are the only PM company that offers interest free payment plans.

Nice story mate 👍🍻

Commenting to register my interest in this thread 🍻

I never managed to pick one up I was too late, but would still like to see what everyone got

Yes, I am consistently getting silver into the UK,  but I think it's a bit unfair to suggest I'm avoiding paying the vat,😁 

 I expect customs to do there job and add the correct amount of vat 

But I see it like this.

25 x1,oz brittanias from chards  last week cost £598 or £23.92 per coin + 20% vat = £717 + £8 postage total   £725.60

25 x 1,oz brittanias from Europe last week cost £592.75 or £23.71 per coin,  if vat is added @20% = £711.30 + £11 postage  total £722.30

So I can buy my own currency from another country, and save £3.30.

The vat on the Chards purchase is 100% guaranteed so £725.60 all in.

The vat on the European purchase is not 100% guaranteed and in theory could cost as little as £622.28 if 5% vat is added.

A saving of £103.32 on the Chards purchase, or £4.12 per coin, which almost removes the sellers premiums

Let's say i buy 4 tubes, I either save £13 or £413.00, this equates to 17.4 oz of free silver compared to the UK price.

But like I said before the vat is there to be paid at whatever amount 20% or 5% it's just not my decision 😁😁

 

 

 

 

So you're ordering from the EU and it's a hit or a miss if customs add the 20%? Or do you have a consistent method to pay the 5% that's what I meant really 😂

I'm probably wrong but that's maybe the lowest it was going to go

What makes you think there will be a jump? Because of the added attention low prices in this dip will attract?

So you're consistently getting silver into the UK and avoiding 20% vat? What is the secret?😂

Baird are doing 1oz bars at 1270(time of writing).

Cheers for the advice everyone, much appreciated. Better start taking some pictures of what I own see if I can shift a few things 👀

I'm pretty new to stacking and just want a few opinions because this is probably the place to ask, would it be worth selling off silver now to fund some gold purchases?

Baird mint have 250g silver bars for sale at £216 (time of writing)

I'm not very up to scratch with new releases etc, I'm just wondering why these carry such a high premium?

Hi guys. I'm a newbie here. My stack consists mainly of 10oz Kookaburra and 10oz Valiant's with a few other pieces like a 1kg dragon and 10oz snake. I got rid of most of my 1oz coins. Hope you like 👍

New to the site but clearly not new to stacking 😂 looks good mate
