Good lord! That's some collection 

 

Out of interest, (and you don't have to answer, I understand) a Kg of gold is 25,904 GBP spot.

What would you say your collection is worth? There look to be some premium pieces there. 

 

A very large percentage over spot?

The bulk of the oz's were purchased when spot was around £750ish and silver came from oz so no VAT.  All in I have paid £25,881 to date, I did get some really good deals on some of the Pandas and lunars so I would expect to get around £27,000 now if sold taking the increase in spot in to account.

I need another 2200oz of silver to catch up then

Got 5 spaces in that case to cram in another 1.86oz to make it a nice round kg.

Will start stacking some silver, probably 10oz and 1kg bars from our friends in oz

Just ordered another 3 X 10oz pamps, so now have 6 in total.  Going to fill a box of 10 bars then back to gold buying.

 

Must not get distracted by the silver shiny metal

Just got back from working away the week and picked these up from the post office, metallographic samples arrived tax free again from Oz

10oz bars, 3 old style and 3 new style packaging -

I would go the 9 X 1 Ducats.

Small coins = larger premium

Just ordered another 3 X 10oz pamps, so now have 6 in total.  Going to fill a box of 10 bars then back to gold buying.

Must not get distracted by the silver shiny metal

One day lol.

My 3 X 10oz Pamps arrived from Australia, or for delivery purposes my metallographic samples

Even with a crap paypal exchange rate worked out at £418 all in for the 3 bars inc. shipping, quite a saving over ebay/atkinsons's prices.

Actual coin from above (1/10 .999 Platinum) + a 2.5g pamp pendant -

Also have 3 of these 10oz Pamps winging their way to me from one of our friends on silverstackers in Oz

Looks like they have been using a wad of that QE money to buy gold on the quiet -

Just picked up a little extra platinum on ebay, its a 1/10th proof 999 mintage London Mint Charles I pattern five unite.

Original price tag of £295 about 8 years ago so not a bad deal

Will add some better pics when it arrives next week.

@ ChrisSilver - my buying power is currently greatly reduced due to the wife wanting the bedrooms + kitchen revamped

Will be a couple of months before I get into full swing again, hopefully I dont miss these lower spot prices.

My latest acquisition, a nice 1894 & 1912 sov -

1858 Shield back sov & 1914 half sov from Hatton Gardens -

more interesting than staring at a bar though.

Would love to visit there on hols in the future.

Cant wait to see how the gold price reacts when the markets open after the Greek election.

Place your bets people

The just announced QE was received as a great disappointment apparently which is good news for gold

@ twizynorthwood ,

Completely jealous of that libertad set, been dying to get my hands on a 1 oz libertad but havent had a chance yet.

The markets are worried the ECB won't give enough QE. The Germans are against it, the French Italians and southern EU countries are for it.  

 

This is how I see it.

 

 If the ECB goes QE full on then Gold will fall back, if there is only moderate QE then Gold will stay where it is, if there is no QE or only a little QE then Gold will carry on climbing. 

So your prediction is it may go up, down or sideways lol

Us markets closed today so things may be slow.
