Extraordinary - I'm in awe. Would a lead lined box negate one of those then?

You know when you get told a story that sounds so outlandish.. (for the last 6 years, am I right? 😁) I am asking if there is seriously a possibility this is true. A friend regaled me about a long story of his father's burglary some years ago, during which his gold was stolen from behind a filing cabinet, with nothing else touched. He went on to say a family over the road had the same very specific robbery happen to them. He seemed to indicate it was believed to be a gold detector of some sort and said they would now put any holdings in a lead lined box. I pointed our a few alternative scenarios, for example it's likely "somebody talked", he also pointed out that both families were British Asian heritage, so I wondered if they'd been targeted on the likelihood the might be holding (seems a stretch). Just wondered if anyone had a thought on this, and whether "lead-lined" should be more in our vernacular for these physical holdings? 🙂 (And I'm aware a safe is the answer, but just a thought on this!)

I'm actually something of a fan of trying to waste these guys time. Usually the scam will take you through to a call centre and they'll try to persuade you to give them info or type in something so they can grab your computer remotely. I put them on speaker phone at my desk while I'm working on something else and just take ages to do what they tell me. Up to the crucial point that something they do may be damaging, then just change the topic or muck about. Record is 15.35 mins. However, I if you want to see a professional, YouTube Kitboga. Glorious.

Exactly. Seems like a chance to get cheap bitcoin. Wonder what the gold/bitcoin ratio is 🙂

Just available in BTC? Surely that's just a punt in the price of btc?

Curious, can they declare a low mintage and then extend it to produce more or are you saying you don't believe mintage for this is low?

There'll be a 1/4 ounce gold available soon as I sent mine back with buyers remorse 🙃

Say you saw inflation coming without saying you saw inflation coming 😮

Yeah, I'm certainly over my initial reaction when i saw £319 but then £349 in the body of the print. Fully onboard with the move theyre making.

Good news, it turned up this morning, so all is well. Thanks again @LawrenceChard for your input, and absolutely @Coolsmp for spotting it. Bravo.

I said warts and all! Thank you

I see, thank you - would you consider 1/4 ounce as a "larger gold" - sorry, to drill down!

OK, I've got the Who 1/4 ounce gold coin. As a newbie, can j ask, what are peoples feelings on that retaining its value (give it to me warts and all) even if spot starts tanking?

Well here we are with all but one of the #59 sisters 2018-2021. Ensemble and Chorus Line Conga... take it away girls.

Thanks for explaining the economics. It felt like that was the plan, just poorly executed (e.g. displaying the offer price and the usual price same page). Reassuring to know you'd be inclined to predict all would be well.

I'll see how it plays out. The registration does specify you actually have to contact them to stop marketing but we'll see.

I've had a reservation email through with the order / purchase details. Looking at my 3 main go to sites, ATS, Atkinskons and Chards all look at least £9 over this price. Maybe I'm coming at it from the wrong angle but that seems to be bargain, however.... will it stick...

Oh good.... (thanks for spotting).

See screen grab...

Registered from the homepage rather than via the coin purchase process.

Just bought one at £319, although just seen the t's and c's on the page and it's main page talking about £349. Hope that's honoured!

Waiting list please!!
