You're mean! 😁

I'm impressed!

That is a cool jug!

You'll have to privvy mark the bars as having been on the Royal Mail detour... 😁

I still can't believe it went to Dangerous Goods. They must have thought it was Wizard's Chess. 😁

No, he got a written warning for wearing budgie smugglers on the forum. 😁

He said that was going to 400 as well.

It's a good lesson for beginners to read.

I was looking for this!

Bump - timeless.

Whatever happened to that post, "Sold all my gold, got stung."?

No. The silver is mine, hands off. 😁 Seriously. 😾

The sovereign was the chief bullion coin of the world. UK troops were issued sovereigns to barter with during the Gulf Wars iirc.

Sovereigns easily. Smaller purchasing price and they hit both the bullion and the numismatic market. I would also argue that the sovereign is recognised worldwide probably much more than bullion ounces - thinking beyond the Western markets here. Remember sovereigns have been actively counterfeited in the Middle East and Asia, can you say the same for Britannias? - Not counting China as they copy EVERYTHING!

I have a few favourites. I've always liked Franklin half dollars and I love Washington quarters. From the British range, I'm stockpiling Vicky young head crowns. Another shout out to George IV and William IV half crowns. I've got a bag full of William IV ones, love em. Don't forget gothic florins and Edward VII florins. My favourite of all though has got to be the George V 1911-1919 half crowns. I think I've managed to stockpile about £10 face in those so far.
