Bought a sovereign while in town in Newcastle last Friday.
Buy something gold every month / six weeks as and when finances allow.
Buy little and often. Don't fret the price. Not arsed about buying dips and timing the market. 
Just convert spare fiat to more gold grams as and when I can afford something 

Also - on your pictures, it's good practice to stick your forum name and a date 😃

@Ashpope1603 I know it can be unnerving to begin with, but postage first to established members works. I can certainly vouch for @oddball for what it's worth, you will be paid on receipt of goods.

This is meant to be helpful only.
100g bars have been selling very recently for £80 each plus post. In my opinion if expecting someone to take 50 in one sitting, then you'd need to be around £75 each, even then 50 is a big ask.

As most here I have a bit of silver. To be totally honest I don't know why, but I like to keep in-between 12/1 and 8/1 silver to gold, I think someone mentioned that coming out of the ground there is 8 times more silver to gold and it's stuck in my mind. My gold is in the form of coins and mostly sovereigns and the silver I have is mostly in the form of bars. I do prefer the kilo bars to the ounce coins though. The issue I have with silver is the premiums and the VAT. I do try to keep an eye on the average cost for both gold and silver.
As some interesting metrics, Currently I'm at £1,627.96 oz on my gold and £20.08 oz on the silver. Also whilst I have 9.58 times more silver weight than gold, my gold value is 8.92 times more at spot prices than the silver.
I just think silver as an industrial metal is too useful for industry to be allowed to get too pricey as an investment metal. Gold on the other hand as a tier 1 asset I think is the one to stack.
 

On a more jovial note - having a few KG bars of silver is something special to hold. 
My 10 ounce queens beasts are a real treasure in thier presentation box.  
If they become worthless then they are still just as special to me. 

Silver has started to outperform Gold recently, this trend is in early stages imo

I do think silver pieces will appreciate in value over the medium to long term. 
If you believe gold will go higher then make no mistakes so to will silver to a degree 

(Reported self for mentioning USD in a GBP thread)

Doesn't it cost nearly $20 just to mine an oz of silver? + minting, transporting, VAT etc....
I just can't see it happening. But if it does, I'll be backing up the truck. BEEP BEEP!

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 😀🥰

🤔this is THE SILVER FORUM🔥 everyone has some silver… just that some don’t like to admit it🤔😮Keep buying, keep the faith…🔥🔥😮

Same here mate, mid 40's for me also. Thinking about the future is prudent, something I never used to be until my late 30's. I don't really trust banks, who does, so stacking precious metals seems like one of the most sensible things to do when planning for the future.

Sorry got possessed by a drunk Ulster man 

No such things as unicorns. Save your money and buy another lion, at least they're real. 

I will have next week at £27 Britannia KCIII 2024

Oh, silver.... That Schizophrenic little loveable cow. Sigh....
£22.48

 

Half kitchen roll: 50p
Mouse: 25p
Gold: £1912

Reported for stalking the wrong forum member and not forum hubby @James32

Played pool, drank 7 pints at the club, walked home via Chinky. Fell asleep on the sofa while eating chicken chow mein.

Are you asking for a friend?

Don't think it will be possible for me to get any sleep tonight.
I tasted the soup to see if it needed any seasoning.....
Gold price up or down like my trips to the bathroom
