Can I buy one?

I can't believe people still fall for the 'silver miners opinion that the silver price is too low' charade.
how is it not glaringly obvious that silver miners(who's business is to sell you silver) will only ever
have a one sided view that silver is under priced?
when was the last time you told your boss that they are paying you too much for your labour?
how about each year when you tell them that you deserve a pay rise for the work that you do?
a gsr of below 20:1 is a gimmick that silver pumpers tell potential buyers of silver. it's a sales
tactic that means nothing. read up on it, it was centuries ago when silver was deemed valuable
enough to be valued at it's natural in ground ratio to gold. spoiler, miners 'will not' as opposed to
'can not' mine more than ~10 toz of silver for every toz of gold. reason, they simply can't find
enough buyers for the additional silver that is mined.

I think this needs clarification.
The sovereign is the "chief" bullion coin.
It pre dates those you mention by Hundreds of years.
Krugs are probably the most "well known" bullion coin.

LOL 🤣
The South African Krugerand has that place, and I think many will come before the Sovereign like the American Eagle and the Maple Leaf but the Sovereign has a historical place in the stacking community.

You haven't heard? The Harry and Meghan coin is no longer available at £1200 more than release price. Sensible investors everywhere will lose out on the chance of making thousands from this in the years to come

Just keeping this thread alive over Xmas, now that those of us who have ordered a loss-leader sovereign from H&B will have to wait at least another week from 11.1.22.
In the mean time, wish all on TSF a Healthy Xmas (Covid permitting) especially all you 'Stackers' who are just in it for the money! Rather than show you all some Frankincense and Myrrh, here in hypocritical style is my collectors 'Stack' of !oz + gold ranging from .900 to 99999!

There are always import taxes when you buy something outside your economic union, what in the case of the UK the UK is.
When we buy something in the UK we also have to pay import taxes and on those taxes you have to pay VAT.
I think I know it better than you, I worked on the customs department of a big courier firm ...
 
Look at the post of Fadeingstar, he is from "Engeland" and also mentions the import duty.
 
And if you don't believe me, ask BYB or your local tax office ...

There is absolutely no merit in discussing this subject any further with you since you believe you are the expert and that I don't know anything.
Import duty - really ??
End of discussion from me  - nothing personal so enjoy your Christmas and remain free of Covid.

Governments don’t really care about gold. I have friends in the civil service, relatively highly placed and I can assure you gold is never mentioned.

I wouldn’t try asking them they would prob not come back for dinner again 😂

Earthlings will not listen to logic or reason. That is established.

Not this fairy tail again 😂🤔😞

Whether you choose to believe that the silver market is 'manipulated' versus 'regulated' is your choice. But even in regulation, you have the notion that the market is not actually free to discover true price. For if something were to be unregulated, the price may become volatile and susceptible to the market's supply and demand mechanism. So whether your stance on the silver market is that it is unfairly 'manipulated' versus justly 'regulated' is irrelevant. The truth is, it's not under your personal control, it shouldn't be under your personal control, and it shouldn't be under anyone's personal control. The only controlling force should be the free markets and if we truly had free markets, silver would not be lagging the way it has been for decades.
I urge all who read this, spread it like wildfire. The free markets are the people, the consumers, the end users of the physical! Not paper pushers!
Some have said that the silver market has been leveraged to the sum of 250 paper ounces of silver to 1 physical ounce of silver. Is this true? Do we have proof of this? Who can supply the truth behind this? We can! We don't need to research what large companies have paper interests to discover whether or not the silver market is rigged. We can find out much easier than digging through article after article to see who's got their hands in the silver market through paper contracts. We can do like the Hunt brothers did in the 1970s up to 1980, we can buy silver and we can buy a $h!t ton of it! The Hunt brothers worked to accumulate around 100 million Troy ounces of silver and this caused the price to rise from $11 (USD) per ounce in September 1979 to $50 (USD) per ounce by January 1980. Two men bought 100 million Troy ounces.
I'm not seeking two men willing to buy 100 million ounces. I'm seeking anyone willing to buy a single ounce, 5 ounces, 10 ounces or more. Whatever you can afford to buy responsibly, buy it. Give a gift this Christmas to someone in your family who has never felt the weight of a 1 ounce silver coin. Buy an ounce of silver for yourself to add to your stack. Discuss silver with an interested party who has never made the leap into the physical bullion market. You learn a lot about people by listening and having simple conversation. Is this feat possible? Can we as a community buy 100 million Troy ounces of silver this holiday season? Sure we can.
1 person buys 100 million Troy ounces = $2,480,000,000 (USD)
10 people buy 10 million Troy ounces = $248,000,000 (USD) each
100 people buy 1 million Troy ounces = $24,800,000 (USD) each
1,000 people buy 100 thousand Troy ounces = $2,480,000 (USD) each
10,000 people buy 10 thousand Troy ounces = $248,000 (USD) each
100,000 people buy 1 thousand Troy ounces = $24,800 (USD) each
1,000,000 people buy 1 hundred Troy ounces = $2,480 (USD) each
10,000,000 people buy 10 Troy ounces = $248 (USD) each
100,000,000 people buy 1 Troy ounce = $24.80 (USD) each
Think 100,000,000 people buying one single ounce of silver is not feasible? How about 10,000,000 people buying 10 Troy ounces? I know the perfect 16,378 people to get this fire going...
 

 
Let’s break their backs!

Some new lovely bits of platinum for my stack. Bought before yesterday's dip but should be good long term. 
I love platinum eagles. 

Buy a safe. Keep at home. Trust no one. Invest in a defensive dog and a clay pigeon shooting shotgun. That’s my strategy. Not that I own any pm personally, I used to, until I lost it on a mad, drunken boating accident. Now I own not a thing.

Can we report ebay to the police as permitting sale of counterfeit currency, against UK law and their own ToS. 

My first 1oz Buffalo 😃
 

Just stick it in some bicarbonate and aluminium foil with some salt will be shiny before you can say ‘return to sender’.

Reasonable 

I’m stacking pixie dust personally 🧚‍♀️ going well so far 👍 

You made the wrong choice buying bars instead of coins, but now you have them i see no point at all in selling them for a loss.  I wouldn't take much notice of people like Robert Kiyosaki ( i'm guessing this is who you mean ? ) , he has been predicting this sort of thing for years.  Trying to second guess the markets is daft, as long as you're diversified you will be fine long term. 

You will, find many other sources that correct this falsehood.  
It may have escaped your attention that Thompson Reuters has a primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange.  This means anyone can buy their shares, vote at meetings (AGM / EGM etc) and the registrar will likely hold details of > a million individual stock holders. For the record, Computershare is the registrar who hold details of every single investor and their holdings for TR.
Blackrock are not even on the top 10 percentage equity owners. Vanguard have a holding of less than one percent and they are the 10th single largest holder.  
Most significant holders are (not surprisingly) pension / life companies.
As I said above, conspiracy theories are great until facts indicate otherwise.
