Cogload

Just popped through my letterbox.

Quick update for everyone
I posted 65 parcels today 😜 took a good long time to get done but they are on the way!
We still have a small quantity of bars left, if anyone wants some, let me know!

Ages ago, I asked Doug (our on-call flasher) to create a visualisation of a Maid Marian coin.
This is what he came up with:

i think it could be more popular then the actual RM design. 🙂

Visit Dublin via Northern Ireland....oh did I say that? Tut tut, naughty Cogload. 

Dunno why but the youtube channellers who were squawking about great resets and UUGGE prices for precious metals have gone very quiet. 
There are bigger returns elsewhere with interest rates rising - so I am somewhat bemused that people are miffed that the big guns are deploying their cash in other places. Ah well, I am quietly tootling along - buying bits and pieces now and then. 
Perhaps there should be a sub forum for those of us who can't afford to buy ounces and our budgets are somewhat in the fractional range? 🤐 I seem to be a bit lost reading the size of everyone else's purchases...🤨
 

For the past month, my gut feelings have been that the supply and delivery situation for popular UK gold and silver products has been easing, and edging towards normality.
For most of the last 15 to 18 months, there has been big demand for investment bullion products worldwide.
In the UK, this has naturally been particularly strong for British CGT exempt coins, such as gold sovereigns, gold Britannias, and silver Britannias, with demand also overflowing into gold and silver bars.
Any secondary market coins we bought in this period have sold out within hours or days. Naturally, many investors prefer these because of lower premiums, which has increased demand for new, fresh from the mint, products.
In the past month, we have received significant deliveries of 2021 gold sovereigns, gold Britannias, and silver Britannias.
We now have spare physical stock of 2021 silver Britannias, having received more than a tonne in the last few weeks, with more in the pipellne.
2021 gold sovereigns we have had spare physical stock for about 2 out of the past 4 weeks, with more due in soon.
2021 gold Britannias. Again, we have had a number of large deliveries, but not quite enough to fill all existing orders. This should also change by mid August.

This was just one of our recent silver Britannia deliveries (the monster boxes, not Mandi).
TSF stackers might be interested to know that there is often, but not always, slowdown in hot weather and holidays.
In combination with more readily available stock, this may mean slightly lower premiums on some of these coins over the next month.
 

Waiting list please! 

Waiting list please! 

Many thanks to you and Mrs BYB for all your hard work and to all others who pulled strings behind the scenes. Being a newbie in this world it just adds to a wee sense of belonging if you understand me? 

Loot received. Thank you very much.

This is your bar 🙂 

 

That is the problem with working weird hours in that you don't always get to see the messages that quickly. I look forward to receiving the loot and whatever number I was allocated...👍

From my understanding of some facebook posts by the Royal Mint there will indeed be a 2 and possibly 10 oz silver bullion version coming later this year. 

Waiting list please. 
 
Yeghes da. 

Same email - for a giggle I went on BBP and was met with wall to wall "awaiting stock".  Buy! Buy! Buy! (if we have it in... ;-)). 
 
edit - even the Royal Mint is getting in on the pumping action - just received an email urging me to buy now as the price is a dropping...
