5 Full Sovereigns from HGM,

received my ebay 20% off full gold sovereign,

I used "gold coins NI" instead of BBP when using the ebay 20% off, I got a 1894 sovereign with a Sydney mint mark 

a 1980 full sovereign from atkinsons mixed dates, got for £184 delivered was my cheapest sovereign to date, in till today when I used my ebay 20% off code to get one for £163.16     

I lost a RM delivery. No signature required but they have some sort of meta-tracking and they claimed they could prove it was delivered.

Well tell them to "prove it" coz you haven't got it...

Received my full & half 1998 proof sovereign's which I got for a great price off ebay, I've also made a video of them for my youtube channel, please check it out...

Went to the Hong Kong collectors mall to make a video for my YouTube channel and picked up some more 2015 Pandas.

 

I look forward to seeing the vid 

with everything going on with Greece im very surprised golds still on a downward trend?

A full oz krugerrand from HGM. The only gold coin they had on sale.

They must have got some more stock as I've just picked up a Austrian 4 ducat at +3% and they also have a 1/4oz bar at £193

Received this today. Thought it was time to get myself edgemakated,

 

Snap lol just got mine to go with my half sovereign one, it'll give me something to read whilst the girlfriends watching crap on TV

yeah my first proof, when I ordered they only had 4 sov's in stock so wasn't expecting anything great, but it must of just been the luck of the draw. plus only 7,500 minted which is cool, like i said its not in the best shape but I wasn't expecting them to be just well chuffed and will defo be doing the HGM sovereign lucky dip again lol 

Today I received my order from HGM for two sovereign's and also a 1 Ducat from ATS, was awesome to find that one of the sov's is a 1997 proof, its not in mint condition but who care's   

After a bit of a brake from buying just ordered 2 sovereign's from HGM, that takes my total up to 7    

^ you should make a vid of the 3 together 

I also received a 2012 sovereign and a gopro 4 (for skydiving) so might make some stacking youtube vids too

NEW YORK—Gold and silver prices rose to a two-week high on Friday as a rush by investors to cover bets on lower prices accelerated a rebound in both markets.

Gold for December delivery, the most active contract, rose $24.10, or 2.1%, to settle at $1,185.60 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. This was the highest settlement since Oct. 30. Silver for December delivery rose 4.4% to $16.314 a troy ounce, also the highest settlement since Oct. 30.

Gold fell in morning trade, luring some price-sensitive buyers into the market, but the modest rebound quickly turned into a surge. As prices crossed above $1,160 an ounce, bursts of high-volume trading indicated that stop-loss orders were triggered, said Thomas Capalbo, a broker with Newedge in New York. These automatic buy orders are designed to limit losses by closing out a bearish position if the market moves above a predetermined price level.

“Everyone is looking at the same charts and the same indicators so people are going to put their stops in the same places,” Mr. Capalbo said.

Gold prices have been moving lower for several weeks, and some investors were choosing to lock in gains on their bearish bets ahead of the weekend, said Bob Haberkorn, a senior commodities broker with RJO Futures in Chicago.

“You have two days when the markets aren’t going to be open, and people are hesitant to keep large positions open in case something happens,” Mr. Haberkorn said.

Other bearish traders were likely forced to close out their positions before their losses stacked up too high, he said.

Moreover, next week is due to bring a string of U.S. economic data and the release of the Federal Open Market Committee’s minutes from its October meeting, giving investors fresh insight into the Federal Reserve’s October monetary policy decision. Gold doesn’t earn interest and costs money to store, making it unattractive should the Fed begin raising interest rates.

this explains what seems to of happened today with the price rises, couldn't get my head around why such the big rises...
