That's a load of rubbish, otherwise I'd despise a significant number of fine women.

Where's the memes today? or is that @Midasfrogtoo many frogs 🐸  can't keep up!

Aye, you got the wrong frog! 🐸

My meme game isn't the best.

As for gold, I'm thinking we finally pass £2k this week! Also think we see a sub 50:1 silver ratio this year

C'mon slow frog, type faster!!!!

lol, I'm true to my name on a phone. Can't type for terrible!

"terrible" is a pathetic automatic replacement for excrement.

That’s great memories as long as you supported the right team…

I was in one of the poorest parts of the midlands and too young or stupid to understand that Stenhousemuir (and other "exotic" names) were actual places. I just vividly remember my Irish grandad did the pools and just sat there effing and blinding at the tv.

Anyone near Stenhousemuir?

A cracker for £465 on Gumtree 

 

Stenhousemuir - a name stuck in my head from being forced to sit through James Alexander Gordon reading the classified football results every Saturday afternoon at my grandparents' house in the 80s. Nostalgic times now that I'm. grumpy middle-aged sod. I should visit one day 😅

I bought a 1/2 and from what I can gather, #4 and #6 are gone so I have 1, 2, 3 or 5! It arrived but I'm away so can't open it yet.

I know many of us here are big fans of her, so I can see the appeal of this selling point.

 

Is this serious? Sorry, I don't know who she is so it's a genuine question! I'd imagine it's sarcastic but you never know.. 

As for the description, it does indeed feel like they're pushing the boundaries of truth.

What price did people buy their first 1 ounce gold coin at?

~£800 for me and then really stupidly didn't buy another for several years. I hate thinking about it. The next time I purchased was around £1260.

I'm still on for my £2K prediction for this weekend!

Had my despatching email from Royal Mint today. Look forward to seeing this one 👍🏼

Nice! I took a punt on the 1/2 but still "In Progress". Looking forward to seeing it.

Eee... I remember the days when you could buy a kilo of gold for two shillings, and you'd still have change for the bus fare home...  🤣

More seriously, or perhaps not, who is brave enough to predict if / when the £2k ceiling will be broken?

 

Tomorrow! 2K+ for the weekend.

Wen 20:1? 

If it does a 20:1 I'm gonna be really pissed off about not buying all of the spot-price spoons I've seen this year.

Some lovely toning on those! Already own a similar set otherwise would have gone for it. GLWS.

All gone now. Congrats to the 6 people in the world who own this coin 

I just spotted your post and impulsively went for it - mainly because I own a 1/4 and really like the design so it'll be nice to have a bigger version. Not sure if I ordered the last one but just wanted to say thanks for the heads up.. 👍

Also, only just spotted after the fact that there's a working voucher code for free delivery so I could have saved myself 9 quid! Ah well. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it but feel free to PM me if anyone else is making a purchase.

So where do we think gold goes from here in the short term?

I'm expecting a..

Only to pick up again at start of May

Any thoughts?

If it dips back to sub £1600 I'm going all in. Been lining up my chips for a while to make sure I'm ready will definitely pull the trigger on a 1/40oz Brit - don't want to be paying CGT if I have to move it on later. 

I don't like the current price. I can't buy anything I like anymore..

If you removed the word “Royal” from the brand, they’d just be another mint, invested in little more than profiteering from those that know no better. Argument can be made that whilst you have those willing to pay whatever price is asked, there’s a market for the mint to sell to but if you take a step back, what do you really get from them that you don’t get elsewhere? Quality control? Behave yourself. Top quality silver? There’s more milking at Royal Mint than a dairy. It’s just not worth buying from them directly and paying the premiums

I feel like you've been a little unfair. I've never had a customer service experience quite like the RM before. I ordered 2 gold bars and only had to wait nearly 3 months for them to arrive, with absolutely no updates as to why my order had been delayed, until I wrote to them a couple of times. Where else can you get service like that?
