Your other old copper coins there are 1799 halfpennies.  They are very worn, so don't have much value other than being interesting items that are 225 years old.  
Your 1847 Victoria copper coin is a farthing.  I don't know what the French copper (edit: probably bronze) coin is.
The cartwheel penny is a little more worn than I had previously thought but it's still perhaps worth £20-£25 if you were to replace it.
Nice bits of history...

That's nothing mate I lost ALL my gold AND silver in a boating accident. Terrible shame 😞

Hello there, lovely coins! From your photo, the one on the right here looks like a 1797 K.George 3rd ‘cartwheel’ penny, a copper coin that weighed an ounce (28.35g). Also called the 11 leaves penny because of the leaves on the kings wreath  , if memory serves me rightly it was the first copper British penny? Someone more knowledgeable might know more about how to tell they’re real and what grade/value they might be 

I also only leave feedback once buyers confirms delivery and as a buyer, once I get package I leave feedback and inform seller. I have always done it this way and it works for me. Plenty of times as seller and buyer members do not leave feedback which is a bit rude but cest la vie

Hi I've got a tube of 25 x 1oz silver krugerrands 2020. £635 posted SD. 
 And 25 x 1oz silver coins comprising of 
11 x 1oz bulls and bears 2022
8 x 1oz silver maples 2014 
3 x 1oz silver Philimonic Austria 2× 2009 1x 2021
1 x 1.5 oz Canada maple 2015 
1 x 1.5oz Canada bear 2013 
£615 delivered SD
Not wanting to split the 25 mixed coins ideally. But happy to sell the 2 x 25 coins separately.  
All in good condition but selling as bullion to avoid disappointment. 

They've been selling kilo silver bars for a while now. I never looked at the price today but I'll have a look next time. Just noticed I did take a picture of the bars. £983.98 with vat.

£482.99 for a sovereign today!

Yeah, I noticed on FB groups some 1oz coins are moving to £27-28/oz which is more realistic with spot. I think we will be hitting £30 soon with the way things are going. That's assuming it is true that (apparently) the Crimex manipulation no longer has the power it once did.

Just get your breakfast sorted and get out and find some cheap silver to buy😮😮🔥

I have got a cracking solution to this wonderful thread.
how about two trading sub forums? Like the graded versus ungraded we have now.
Free Market Trades
Trades more or less as it is now. Prices rise and fall based on free market supply and demand.
Price-Controlled Forum
This is where prices are limited to spot + 40 %, it is acheived to limiting quantities to 10 oz per month maximum, with one exception for the chap who wants to offload the monster box.
The ability to trade is based on your nationality, ethnic origin and where you went on holiday in the rolling 12 month period, based on the stereotypes associated with that specific region. These stereotypes will be determined based on an annual forum poll.
 
there - everyone should be happy !

I have discovered that the mysterious DOCTOR from Bullionvault is the nickname for Bullionvault's own trading account.
Today 5891kg of Silver was withdrawn from the Zurich vault.

I think you're explanation is correct.
At the moment I'm only seeing Metal leaving London and Zurich.

Wen is top of moon so I can re join paid membership and flog at top like you lot? 
Asking for a bert....

Wrestlemania?

Ahh I see now. Think I've seen a few different sources say you need around 1000 ounces to live comfortably through a hyperinflation scenario. Hope we can all achieve that, or whatever that would be in gold if you ain't got the room for silver. 

Great to see, but that’s an eBay replica. @GoldDiggerDave has the original sat on his mantelpiece.

£120 back then would be worth about £19,500 today.
Modern equivalent of nearly £28/oz.

Kilo bars currently at dealers; £870+ for preowned and £920+ for new
(Meanwhile you probably can't shift one for £700 on here 😆)
Actually, what's the going rate atm on TSF? Not seen many going.

I've decided to part ways with my beloved Vito... It's a 64 plate (end Dec 2014 registration), 33,500 on the clock and in immaculate condition... will be putting it up for sale in all the usual places, but thought I'd also post it here it case someone was looking for such a thing.
These are rare to find in the LWB model and even rarer to find with such low mileage, I've found a small selection with 100K+ on the clock selling for £20K+, so I'm looking (and open to offers) for around the £23K mark.
If you need more info or have questions, shoot me a PM, I'm London based, and you're more than welcome to come and have a look if you'd like 😃
Cheers

When I visit Costco in Wembley I have a look at their sovereign prices and take a photo. Just been through my phone to see the prices since last February so I thought I'd list them here. I've added the rough spot price for the day of images taken. Didn't want to add all images, only the latest one.
My IT skills aren't that great, apologies for that, so i've taken a shot of the prices on my work screen.

Is this the twilight zone

RM Pricing/Cover from 2nd April - The Small Print
Although most TSF members will be aware of the forthcoming RM price rises, other than the 6-7% in standard prices there has been precious little news/comment on RMSD and none that I have seen regarding "Signed" compensation. After thoroughly reading the latest price booklet from my local PO...
RMSD prices are rising by an average 70% Compensation for "Signed" has been reduced from £50 to £20 Claims for loss/non-delivery of, for example, 1oz silver coins have previously been honoured by Royal Mail - cheerio to that. This is printed below the "UK Signed" title on page 6 - no bold type, underlining etc. Small print only. Free cover on International Postage remains unchanged at £50.
I'm sure that the huge hike in RMSD is, at least partially, down to the RM's continuing failure to meet its Next Day by 1pm guarantee - and subsequently being obliged to refund postage to anybody who can be arsed to claim.

ahh the bain of textual conversation, and mis understandings thereof. I have taken some flak earlier on in this thread and that made me overly defensive. I'm sorry for this and thank you for perservering
You are right in that the price needs to compensate buyers for the hit that they take on VAT, otherwise they lose money.  Recently, since 2020 atleast, there has been a difference between the quoted silver price (currently at £19.91) and the sales price on here £22-23, or on other secondary venues, known as a premium.  Dealers have this premium plus VAT on top, meaning that places like BBP are charging up to £29.
I think this premium is more as a result of supply and demand, rather than a compensation for any VAT paid. If supply continues to outstrip demand, then that premium could disappear also.
