Tavex now at 24.20 Inc vat per Brit. Not too shabby.

Many thanks Sid's. Good points well made. I think the love for owning a piece of history tends to over ride a fair amount of investment potential. Some are massively overpriced, yet some are reasonable. A little like the bullion coin market I guess, but the mainstay of bullion is the almost certain upward curve of PM's price over the long term. I think a fair amount of research is required here and maybe the odd targeted bargain hunt. Food for though indeed 👍

Thank you Lawrence 👌. Think I'll enjoy learning more and more about this. I really love the idea of history being your hands 😁👍

Plenty to choose from there then.. surely they must be able to off load a few for spot 😉

Clearly I've been watching too much History Channel, but with my newly found love for all things sliver, I've stumbled across the possibility of collecting UK Celtic Coins. Does anyone have any experience with these, are they a good long term investment and does anyone know of any good reasonably priced sources? Thank you in advance lovely people 😁

Many thanks for the clarification ☺️

Hey Jackie, I saw the prices on Tavex and they can be very competitive. My only concern was that I saw that import duties are not included. Does this mean that you would have to pay ID on top? I'm a little confused.

Good stuff, the only thing I need to get my head around is that gold is so much smaller than silver 😜

Sorry for that Dicker, I did take a look, clearly not hard enough 😉 I'll try to find Mr Chards page 👍

Wise words indeed 😁👍

Evening all, Just wondering, in people's opinions which is a better purchase for future resale.. coins or bars? Bars clearly offer better value for money in terms of being closer to spot, but coins seem to sell well. I'm just wondering which would be better to stack for 15-20 years? I'm pretty sure this will be a chalk and cheese discussion, but you views are appreciated.

Maybe that strengthens my decision ☺️

I definitely agree, however for me the PMs just feel slightly more stable and I don't mind the long haul. Also the conflicting information surrounding the viability of BC as a payment method, tends to put me off. Most of my money was in BC as the daddy. I'd definitely keep an eye on the latest information surrounding up and coming tech though. But for now the PMs get the nod, especially with the crash coming.

I am definitely in PM's for the long haul. My issue with BC was that I fear for its future in that it's not tangable. Nor are other forms of money but PMs are shiny and you can hold them. Therefore as a certified magpie I've cashed most of the BC out and bought PMs instead. 15-20 years is my plan. Although I haven't quite worked out the exit strategy yet 😉

I must admit I do like the idea of stumbling across some bargains. Obviously TSF is a great place to find some, however a little proactivity and reward appeals to me. Treasure hunting if you will and maybe magical below spot prices await 😁

Was just wondering if anyone has discovered unusual methods of locating silver pre 20s silver coins? For example second hand shops or flea markets.

Yes granted. But I have a sneaky feeling that a lot of money invested in BC will move over bringing the price down, as it will be such a safe option. Any love for an uncontrolled medium will fast disappear once money is made. It's a well hatched plan.

I think I get the general consensus here. I'll maintain and see what happens with BC and keep building the metals. Many thanks all.

One of my main concerns would be cbdc overtaking it and rendering it obsolete.

Thanks guys certainly food for thought... Its appreciated 👍

That's why I asked. I'd put more trust in people's opinions on here than any pro or anti BC site. And sorry to the admin for quite possibly the incorrect section. But I can't help liking shiny stuff more than virtual things 🤗

This may have been discussed before, but the lull and subsequent annoyingly predictive daily up and down of Bitcoin has left me less than Impressed. Question is, do I just cut the albeit small losses and just buy PM with it all or leave it alone?

I'm quickly realising that there is no real right or wrong answer. I appreciate the input guys. Maybe a sov and some silver every two months.

Thank you guys 👍 It does seem that silver is hampered by VAT. Although you would get a stacking feel good, due to size and weight for your money. Premiums are obviously a big consideration for gold and I see that maybe the full sovereign route is better long term due to gold per investment price. Maybe I need to get a few Half Sovereigns first to satisfy my new found gold fever then swap to fulls 🤔

Hello, I'm new here. I'm learning a fair bit from reading the past posts, but wanted your thoughts. I'm looking to spend upto £200 a month on either gold or silver. Coins seem to be the best investment due to tax. If you were in my shoes what would you buy and why. I'm looking to do this over the next 18 years. Thank you.
