EU about to get QE.

Gold will hit £1k an oz within the next month or two my gut tells me

Officially my gold stack went in to the positive return on spot price alone just now -

Not bad considering the premium on old pandas, 1/10th lunars (especially the mouse and ox)

Graph shows bulk volume of my stack is now under spot, those 160g worth of Perth Mint Oriana bars, 2 X 100g bars, 2 X quint sovs, 50 peso etc. have really brought my average cost per oz down.

fancy doing a px on some scottsdale silver stacker rounds -

2oz, 100g & 5oz -

Yes, please do.

Cracking looking coin.

Coin arrived today -

Even at spot, that's worth a pretty penny (about £300 by my rough head calc).

I think it's awesome!!!

Should be delivered Tuesday so will post up some better pics when it arrives.

Just picked up something a bit bit different,  Its a quad metal proof Pobjoy coin with a mintage of only 999.  Apparantly its the only manufactured quad metal coin that contains Palladium.

@mr dead,   what size are the oriana bars?  they look nice

10g

Hard to capture the fine detail in the lady due to poor lighting and highly reflective parts.

The 1/10 Britannia turned out to be a nice mint sealed 2001 coin so a different design to the usual Britannia -

I like that idea for the graph. Any chance you could send me a template for it so I could do the same for my gold purchases. [emoji3]

Pm me your email address and ill send it over

Just grabbed a 1/10 Britannia @ 3% over spot (£80.66) and a 20 Franc @ 3% over spot (150.58) at Hatton Gardens.

Will post up some pics tomorrow when they get delivered.

Current fine weight total is now 898.84g or 28.9 troy oz of the shiny yellow stuff

A summary graph of cost per Oz for my purchases, red line is current spot price -

The valaurium notes throw out the cost per oz figure but only actually cost me £6.96 per note,  those lunars dont come cheap either

Quite happy the cheap stuff is hovering just above or below spot and the premium stuff like the lunars and old panda's will recover the premium fairly easily.

Had a huge bargain from HGM,

There was a 1/2 oz gold bar advertised at 3% over spot, no picture or description.

I snapped it up expecting a scratched up old bar with no certicard packaging and this just turned up -

Did the goat come in a cap or foil? Some sites are giving mixed messages.

Turned up in a capsule like the rest of the series.

Latest purchase, 2 X 2013 sovs and a 1/10 lunar goat to bring the set up to date -

Nope, would love a treasure chest and do this though -

Using a phone camera so not the best.  Super shiny and crap lighting don't go well together.  

2012 1oz Britannia arrived

Love the sovs, a timeless design and im aiming to grab some more soon.

You've been my inspiration to buy more gold!

What did you get?

Ive set my target at 1kg of the yellow shiny stuff (5oz to go) then ill start stacking some silver. 

Haven't decided yet if ill go for coins or bars, love to 10oz pamp's and fancy getting some 1kg silver bars too.

Just noticed that coininvestdirect now has the 2.5, 5 and 10 Mexican Peso's available so ill grab those next to complete the set as I have to 20 and 50 peso.

Just ordered up another coin from Atkinsons -

2012 1oz Britannia, not a bad price at £809 -

Will post up some proper pics when it gets delivered next week.

So what's your favourite coin you have got so far mr d?

I love the Mexican coins, very close call between the 50 and 20 peso.

Cheap premium coins with beautiful designs.

1/4oz 1990 panda just arrived thanks to the heads up from Cornishfarmer -

UPS just delivered my 20 peso from coininvestdirect -
