I posted these pics in the 'Today I received' thread already, so forgive the duplicate if you've seen these already! 😊 

Where we are currently: 
1 with 3 in are fulls,
1 with 6 in are half shields
1 full case is all halves

Some of the QEII proof years. 

that bit did seem a bit backward 

The links between gold, interest rates, bonds and real inflation are well known.
I'm not convinced by his 3 U's though; not sure how you get an uptrend when gold is unpopular.

My excuse was I had already spent my budget for March on the 11th on another ounce, this was just a little - oh go on then purchase. Will be April before I spend another £1k plus now 🙂

Patience you must have young padawan 😊

Precisely. still an ounce or so excluding the copper. 
I sold a dozen older SOV's and an ounce Brit before the prices turned, so I am happy with that. 
Complete fluke mind. 

I really like these Elizabeth II BU Mary Gillick portrait sovereigns some of my favorite forum pickups 👍 thank you @SVcollector

A slight twist to normal....  the 1797 "cartwheel" penny and two pence were the first coins to feature Britannia as we know her today. It was the first time she was pictured holding a trident, instead of a spear and the first time she was pictured overlooking the sea and a ship.
This coin is the two pence version, 41 mm, is made of copper and weighs a mighty two ounces. The penny is slightly smaller at 36mm and one ounce.

1 oz Britannia proofs

Yes I think the tarnish can be conserved, but the seller stated that he'd scratched the coin trying to rub the tarnish off. So I doubt it would grade well? 

Never seen a gold coin tarnish like that doesn't look right to me big gamble for a grand 

Just don't commit all your capital in one go.  Then if markets / prices fall further you have cash on hand to take advantage of a price drop 🙂
I have just purchased an ounce but have capital on hand should the price fall to £1000 tomorrow I can buy more.
Slow and steady, drip freed it into the markets / asset.
 

Can't beat it mate....cash in the bank is boring....shiny metals are exciting 😂😂

My first ever 3 gold 1oz bars arrived today, for some reason it does feel good to have some gold instead of cash sitting in the bank.
 
waiting on the other 3 arriving 

I know the feeling, but then if you never roll the dice you'll never get that shiny gold coin 😃

Wife was laughing as I was waiting for it to dip below £1300 (the coin).
Watch it fall to £1200 now, thats typically my luck lol 

I think a different set of aliens planted something in my wife's genes to horde plastic cr*p from Amazon.

Is your second name time machine 😂

I'm calling it now 2k in GBP by year end £2 petrol and property up by 15-20%

Managed to bag an Isle of Man sovereign from Sharps Pixelys in their lucky dip

I would be incredibly wary of it never seen gold tarnish and "rust"like that. Could be the gilt silver version

its labelled as scrap, but priced at a premium & hefty postage charge.

might go for scrap and would add some variety to a pile of tired sovereigns maybe?!
