    27carrots got a reaction from DuncanWylieWilson in Bought at Auction - Hungarian 100 Korona - Genuine original, restrike or fake?   
    If it's a restrike, it is still less than 2.5% over spot which seems like a good price.
    I guess if an original is worth 4 times as much, it should be priced at 7200 euros.

    27carrots got a reaction from MikeB in Gold stacking end goals   
    Plan A at the moment is to save enough half sovs to sell one a week when I retire until I snuff it as long as interest rates stay low.
    Plan B is selling my stack to pay off my mortgage if interest rates get to 5% or more (or whatever rate gobbles up all my disposable income).
    To fund Plan A for 20 years retirement I would need 1040 half sovs which would probably be too much for me (I think 600/700 is more like it) but I'm a couch potato so I won't live that long lol.
    Of course I don't know anything about investments yet.
    I don't even know how to buy a share but I plan on learning what is better than gold so I expect A and B will both be out the window in 10 years.

    27carrots got a reaction from beacon in Smaller/Fractional Gold if Premium is the Same?   
    The state of affairs can be very different from country to country.
    A 20 pesos for example generally has about a 20-25% premium here but less than 7% in the US.
    It may just be how it is that people only care about the weight of the coin there.
    In that situation you should still go for smallest coins going as you can sell smaller bits as you please in the future.
    Also go for highest purity so you get more gold for your money in case you get the chance to sell abroad.
    But if you sell in Columbia it might not make any difference if weight is all that counts there.

    27carrots got a reaction from Griffo in Lots of people are selling!   
    I don't agree with chopping up the sales sections at all.
    Most items would never get looked at by casual/new buyers.
    But having a keyword feature would work well.
    The problem with the search feature is that people use different words to describe things quarter vs 1/4, etc or don't put the word silver or gold in their thread.
    Give thread starters boxes they can tick so people can filter their search with one click.
    Also if you ignore people's posts, their sales threads should be hidden as well.

    This is something that has been discussed before. Without making this topic go off topic too much, and similar to how @27carrots has stated. TSF decided in the past not to split up the trade section further as it will make it harder to browse, twice the clicking to check both sections. I did and do however agree that some sort of tag/filter/attributes system with a filter would work very well, so it is easy to filter between gold/silver etc, or even coins/bars. The problem is that the core base of the system we are using uses the tag system for the prefixes, and there is no way to easily integrate an additional filter system at present. However it is something that I would like to introduce in the future if possible

    If you are patient, get an update when atsbullion gets some in and save £70.
    As Happypanda88 says, they are the same every year so I don't see why the year matters.
    They do get them in occasionally; I've seen them in stock at least twice since I started buying gold earlier this year.
