I was planning on setting up a MB SDB next year but with what has happened this year that’s now on hold and cannot find anyone else locally… @AuricGoldfinger could you PM me with details of those that don’t advertise to see if there is anything local? It’s a shame we don’t have a list on the forum somewhere although also understand why we don’t.

Still above £1600...

A real Golden ticket!

This brings back some memories... @9x883 you should post this on the 'What can you do to counteract inflation?' thread as well. Back up into high £1,580s, what caused it to jump this time?

Flip me that’s a bit of a jump today, glad I’ve spent this months already…

To add, it will also be interesting on what the mintages will be for the Memorial and Coronation bullion sovs. As @James32 points out, "The memorial bullion sov I believe hasn't sold as well in my opinion" but also neither have been minted for a full 12 months so suspect much smaller quantities overall vs. the 2022 Platinum Jubilee?

You mean £1600?

Fine by me, hope they keep dumping so I can get some more Sovs before the end of the year 👍 Under £1,620 at the moment...

I got that one ungraded so not as eye watering as it could have been.

Where's @Paul when you need him 🤔 @James32 will kill it when he sells 😂 That could be me ooot from buying until the dust settles...

Wish my pockets were that deep! Just the modern key-dates; 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012, 2016, 2017, both 2022s (Platinum & Memorial) as well as the 2023 Coronation, if that's a key-date? In my eyes it's still an achievement for a relative newbie and chuffed ain't the word 😎

Not sure if I can post here, please remove if required but credit where it's due... I purchased my first key-date back in December 2021 after following the FOMO and getting the 2022 Platinum Jubilee, my first proof. It's been a slippery slope ever since 😆 TSF members have helped me back fill the key-dates since then and the 2005 I received today has helped me finish off my humble collection. @GoldDiggerDave @FlorinCollector @matt1r @Spence098 and @Touvex have helped me achieve my goal, accepting a trade or my hard earned, grading and in general keeping me skint 😂 Just wanted to say a huge thanks guys and to @ChrisSilver for the forum in allowing the trades and sales! ...Apologies for the lack of pictures as they are all tucked away.

Nearly 1570 😲

I don't know if I should like this or respond with a sad emoji... Either way my buying plans are scuppered for the moment

Totally get this as I also need to re-stock the bank balance after the last couple of years but I'm in two minds... The first 'normal' Sov for Charlie boy 🤔

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

No, I didn't buy last week...

@JamesH, can I borrow your hoover 😆

Has spot just dropped below 1,500...

I'm hoping it drops back into the 1400s... I've focussed too much on proofs and need to get back to some bullion Sovs this year.

Utilities, mortgages, fuel, food etc. all roughly doubled. Income and surplus fiat money...

I really struggled to find the money but managed to buy one of each of what I wanted, with help from TSF members I hasten to add! My attention moving forward will virtually be bullion as and when deals arise. The market, as with many has stagnated or dropped, imho due simply to finances being squeezed in virtually every direction. Totally agree with @Shinus73 and @SidS that it's turning into a buyer's market... if you have the cash available.

Interested in this scenario. Do costs on maintaining the car during your ownership impact on your gains i.e. you initially paid £8k, sold it for £9k but had to replace the tires and exhaust to keep it road worthy which cost £1.2k, would this mean an overall loss of £200 therefore no CGT?

No idea, I did call them regarding updates to the price list which did state would be regularly updated but nothing. Edit: To be fair, I didn't expect an annual release and believe the last publication was in 2021?
