Every silver lining has a cloud I guess..

Thanks Nick - Interesting to look around at the moment. I had a look at HGM yesterday and they are maintaining high premiums....
Quite a few eBay sellers I follow (to look at prices not buy) have taken their stock off the market - not surprising!

I used to enjoy popping into HGM on my lunch break in the past, the characters I used to see there were fantastic from the guy with a huge bag full of flat silver to the little old lady with about 30 full tubes of sovereigns carried in her hand bag!
Sadly their prices have gone off the scale for me now so don’t use them any longer....
I have a selection of dealers I like to use and keep an eye on prices and availability (Atkinsons, Sharps Pixley, and Chards)

Last year premiums where at 3.5 to 4.5% from memory, but we are reaching 7.45% at the moment.
Hopefully it's only short term, I'll hold off buying until things settle down a little.
Bullion by post aren't usually the cheapest too, I wonder if the more competitive dealers (chards etc) are having supply issues?
They are some of the pricier dealers! Sharps Pixley have QE2 sovereigns for £320.70 each (including postage) with spot at £1,289.73 - premium 5.6% which includes the postage cost

If we listen to Harry sent gold could go down to $900 before a massive upturn, who knows but I will continue to buy as long as it’s going down
Totally agree with that keep dripping in little and often as funds allow
And its fun trying to guess the dips😀

And I would too, but I'm very hesitant because premiums are rising, counteracting any possible advantages gained.
The premiums on bullion Sovereigns are pretty static at 5 to 6% regardless of spot, if they fit into your strategy I’d give them a close look

Looks like you may get a second bite of the cherry, back down to £1,296😉

Got down to £1,292 now back to £1,304!
Phrases about Ladies of easy virtue and their underpants spring to mind😀
Pleased I got in on the way down and not on the way up😃

I think you are right just dropped below £1,300 !!!

Looks like news of possible easing of lockdown in UK is encouraging pound buying and increasing strength of GBP to USD has driven down the gold price recently
Is now the time to buy or are bigger factors at play to further reduce the cost of gold in GBP in the short term?

Roller coaster afternoon ! Should just have enough time to climb back up for my month end purchase😀
feels more comfortable at this price and below......

I don't think it's anything to do with crypto
I've posted this before but my guess is that banks or other big financial institutions have a program running tracking 10 year inflation securities
When they go lower it triggers gold buys, when it goes higher it triggers sells
gold can get a little bit away due to speculation or for short term fear but this chart is just undeniable
Yields have been rising lately (modestly in the big scheme of things) on senate seats and what that means for fiscal bills being passed
Very interesting thanks for posting that, now to find a way to forecast 10 year inflation securities 😀

Seeing Gold gradually falling (£1,354 at time of writing) this week while USD/GBP pretty stable, any one any views on what’s happening? Stability in the USA?

A great story and amazing coincidence
I remember my Grandad telling me loads of people sold these for melt in the fifties and sixties when silver was worth something and times were hard
I still have his medals in a box where they will stay until they get handed down to my kids hopefully never to be sold
