Hi Hunter87, as a complete novice, I was researching silver, but you're not the first to make this comment. I am effectively looking at gold now too as investment, and maybe some silver for stacking... Thanks very much for your detailed comment! Much appreciated. Just curious as to the meaning of "grey" imports...

Hi, yes I upgraded to premium membership as you suggested.

Hi Airhead, I think the quantity I'm looking to acquire, would mean I'd have to go through a dealer I suppose, such as Baird or Bullion by Post....say 30 sovereigns brings the premium down to around 5.5%. Is that worth it in your opinion?

Cool. Thanks. I'll look at the thread

Thanks Bigmarc. Like 1oz Britannias I guess. I haven't looked at gold at all, could you suggest how I might go about it?

Thanks Airhead. I'll look into that

I was considering silver in the context of the possible hyper-inflation of the dollar...

Oh right I understand. Thanks

I see. Why wouldn't I need to pay vat if I opt for storage?

Hi, As a complete novice, I'm looking for advice on purchasing physical silver for storage at home, using savings (about £15000) plus some junk silver for emergency use possibly. I'm not particularly interested in numismatic. If I understand correctly, it's better to obtain 50-90% 0.999 fine silver for the investment. Maybe now is not the time to buy, I know premiums are very high... If anyone could recommend any trusted dealers it would be appreciated. I live in Essex.
