Just bought forward part of the month end spend to take advantage of the dip🙂
Another Sov on the way and £16 cheaper each than just 3 weeks ago!! Just over a 5% movement...

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 

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

n.490/500 - The amount of detail in this 2oz beaut is extremely mesmerising, but unfortunately my camera cant capture it that well! This will have to do.
I personally dont get much into collector pieces, not even sure this is numismatic. But I love it 😁

I got my ATS bullion coins today - ordered them Friday. Cracking service and nice to have special delivery. 
I even got a free chocolate.

Just sent the wife to Costco.  for another one as long as its under £330 im happy. 
Trying to do one SOV a month now & save up during higher spot prices for when it dips. 

The penny stocks like Comstock were fabulous. Low and behold the banks are a good sector!! 
Silver especially as you can get a lot more shares in silver & profit as a result. 

I think when the LSE closes and also the banks - its gonna have a nice run up. 
The USA markets are stagnant so thats not helping. 

New member, attempting to go from collector to stacker. These arrived this morning. 

Very surprised by the Royal Mail today, after them emailing me at 12:16am this morning saying my item has been despatched please allow 2-5 working days without delays I came home to see This had arrived  
only fools and horses special edition 1oz silver medal and stamp collection haha

Some lovely libs through the door today. Slowly slowly I'm reaching my target. Always a pleasure dealing with Weighton coins

All commodities are getting smashed today. The cartel are going for it. A lot of paper silver and gold shorts going on.

Dangerously close to the $1800 level. $1805. 

Its probably pre market sales from the USA, as its been closed all weekend.
I do think it should come back as silver is doing well as are all the other commodities, especially platinum. 

There has never been more of a need to buy gold than now in recent years. 
Does not mean it will go to £1,200 though

I think it might have a run up today after 3pm, but im no expert.
its in a bull run after all and as I have said everything else is doing well???

Stimuls cheques being handed out soon in the USA April i believe - Its no secret holding dollars is not good & gold is a historic store of wealth. 
Its also quite well known that banks might go into negative interest, which means that it will cost money to have a bank account. 

The banks are opening today in the USA after 3 days closed so that will have an impact especially in the paper markets. 
Which way it will go I have no clue - just topped up on what I thought was the bottom & it kept going.
Hopefully extract a bit of profit by the end of the month? Knowing my luck it will go to £900 and stay there for the next 10 years LOL. 

2006 RAM Gilded Silver Kangerlily   The Royal Australian Mint in 2006 produced a proof coin that, in my opinion, rates towards the top of the world's most beautiful ever produced.   I can add little to the words of @Roy - "The coin is literal gem. An ethnicity, a history, a close cultural relationship with nature all on the reverse of a silver proof coin.The image could have been copied from an aboriginal cave wall drawing."    "Jirrah-Watty" – the Big Kangaroo - is a design by  Aboriginal artist Ray Thomas   This was the first of seven gilded members of the official Skippy collection and presumably was a cynical attempt to cash in on the anticipated success of the proof - the other two members of the "Aboriginal Designs" trio were only ever available in FrUnc and Pr.   The mintage of 10,000 was the same as that of the proof - both were swiftly sold out.   With thanks to @CadmiumGreen.



 

My favourite in the 1/10th collection just had to be a Kookaburra, these little birdies turned up earlier.
Fairly limited mintage too second year running, these could be date run missions now as I just love the silver 1 oz collections. Something about Kooks, I’ve fallen for their lure 😍

£ will creep upwards as we come out of recession and economy restarts.  Gold:$ been in a downward trend since August and probably continue as risks subside.   $1750 / £1230 by end of Q1.

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?

gold is following US long bonds down as yields go up
Might be the positive vaccine study from Israel
Might be some news in the US I haven't seen

Sharpspixley is selling 2020 sovereigns for £328.50. Not sure if its a good deal, but got one for my first gold.

A very good Sovereign from Atkinson’s.
That’s the date run up to date. 😊

My 2017 Collection to date. 

My latest additions from BBP 
A nice free 1 oz Brit and a lucky dip sov which turned out to be a 1914 London minted one 😃 
Also a wooden 10 coin sov box from them and would highly recommend getting one if your like me and have a smaller collection, they are very well made, good quality and also come with an outer cardboard box.
Posted again as my last post contained something it shouldn’t of...
 

Received this Silver Proof 50 Years of the 50p Military Set today, an eBay auction win.  

It looks fabulous alongside the Culture Set.
