So I wonder what price the Knuckle Draggers of Mayfair will flog one per household hoping to then sell overpriced tat with 17 phone calls and 2,391 follow up letters...

Nah, less than spot. The poor scrap metal buyer is going to want it below cost as he'll to look at that pair of tnuc's until the melting pot warms up.

Maybe with the help of a tin of spray paint...

Majority of people are terrible at timing markets. The armies of numpties Stateside who paid megabucks for Tesla and are now ejaculating on mahoosive losses. It's still worth more than it were two year ago. Although depending on timescale between me typing and you reading that could be well out...

Is it proof or bullion string?

As Dave suggested at the very start of this thread I would be joining him with a JCB to fill up a truck at 300 a Sov. I still look at the markets and in disbelief at the major stock market indices. Nothing at all in my opinion justifies where the majority of things are. I include metals in this but don't see gold as massively OTT compared with say the Dow. I said to my financial adviser about 18 months ago I would go all in on a Dow tracker at 20,000 and I still see the real value in low 20's. As for Sovs I was dawdling as usual over buying in December. The cash sat for that has gone this week into a very speculative oil junior stock: it will be bankrupt or make me a significant multiple before Spring is sprung. If hopefully the latter it's going into Sovs whatever the cost at the time. I've promised myself this! And maybe a shiny new watch...

Probably seen how s h 1 t this coin is!!! The fact this particular auction house correctly identified it as a coin as opposed to say, a Queen Anne table, is at least a start!

I can do a much more limited edition super special box for a special price of £4899 plus free delivery Form orderly queue!

Aye, the claymore. They have a friendly side and a side that you really don't want to be on...

Sheesh... the marketing monkeys must think there are enough gullible fools to do this. Sadly they're probably right!

I think by that happens silver will have gone to the moon, got brassed off with the Chinese and Yanks digging holes, found the double decker bus that disappeared and metamorphosis will occur and the silver will turn to gold.

Nah, this is the age of money for nothing. See Mr B Johnson for example. Or the oxygen thieves that are the Kardashian family. If anybody would like to give me money for doing bog all I'd be very grateful

Bollocks to 'em, I want Swiss Roll...

So the machine reckons the one with the dodgy geezer is not far off where it should be. But the one that looks okish is dodgyish. Think I'll pass on the coins and have cake instead. I can detect genuine cake from fake cake.

aka The British Government! Meow...

The chappie. The bok looked alreet to me. The more I look at coin 2 the dodgier it looks. But at least in doesn't have Her Maj on it with unfortunate lumps bashed out of her heed, God rest her soul.

I can do it cheaper and quicker. Free postage too. Pass the shooter!

My untrained eye thinks that coin 1 is iffy. The eyes on the obverse are, well, hideous. Coin 2 looks like it could be the real deal. But I wouldn't buy either unless a kosher bullion dealer were the vendor.

On a serious note, spied at some 2018 Maples and 2017 Krugs over Christmas that endure storage in their mint tubes in a loft that was -3 degrees at the time and peaks way over + 40 in the summer. The coins looked fresh as a daisy. I believe the quality of the round and it's handling is the key reason why some coins milk and others don't. In defence of RM all my overseas sourced Brits, which are stored at a more palatable mid teens to high twenties temperature range, again in mint tubes, are also blemish free. What do the Welsh do that others don't? (that's just asking for a woolly quadruped joke)

It's probably a high quality Chinese fake then!

I avoid the problem of spotty milk by obtaining mine from Co-op down t'road. No free postage as such, but free collection!

Brewed dog sounds like it should eminate from Korea, not bonny Scotland. About time this particularly narcissitic tosspot took a hit to his pocket. Although I suspect the company balance sheet will bear the brunt. From a pair of young enthusiastic nut cases brewing crazily strong beer (Tactical Nuclear Penguin anyone?) to hipster 5h1t3 that tastes unpleasant... He could always binlord the cans on ebay...

Sewerage company wouldn't thank you!!!

So was the metal!

RM have enough problems with the metal in their "normal" coins. Goodness knows what some old scrap from the seabed will look like in years to come....
