  1. 😂 I can’t remember what I had for breakfast and you expect me to remember the lyrics for a song I haven’t heard for 30 years! Gold was just under £17 an ounce when this was recorded.
  2. Bought a fake 1887 half sovereign last week from a friendly jeweller. Only realised it was when I got round to looking at it yesterday and it weighed in at 3.501g. Bloody good detail for a fake, even had a bit of lustre! Took it back today and it tested in at 14k. He felt awful about selling it to me and swapped it out for an 1843 so not all bad 🙂
  3. Hell yeah! If this forums taught me one thing it’s buy high high high, the higher the better.
  4. Well I never! Bought one on Tuesday from my jewellers amongst a batch of 8. First half’s I’ve ever bought and only had them because he wanted rid and did them at 190 for me. Haven’t had a chance to check them in Marsh yet!
  5. Fair play. Ye, I stack sovereigns for their gold content to hedge against inflation. I take my hat off to you to be able to stack and collect at the same time. I know if I let collecting bug in me take hold it would ruin me as there are some awesome coins out there. If you see a piece of gold that you like and that means you have to sell some gold to get it, go for it! If it puts a smile on ya face, that’s got to be worth a few quid loss.
  6. It sounds like you’re a stacker that’s becoming a collector as your swapping £ notes for something you like? That’s up to you and your prerogative, all depends why you’re in the game? By how you phrase your question I question your definition of a stack and believe you have succumb to the devils armpits of what the piece looks like! In which case do the deal, look at it when you want to and feel happy 😃
  7. No VAT on used for an individual if buying something already in the UK as it’s already had the VAT paid when bought new. Importing pretty much anything, new or used, is subject to VAT. I believe on used items if customs think you have undervalued an item on the invoice they can charge VAT and Duty at the price the item was when it was new!
  8. That all looks correct @Earthmetal. 20% VAT. VAT is also applied to the duty. Sometimes it’s just not worth importing second hand goods.
  9. That’s Nick, I get spares for my cvrt from him, happened a while back. Think there is a YouTube video somewhere of them finding them. At the time he thought it was the right thing to do, he’s an honest guy. Not everyone’s cup of tea but genuine nonetheless. He is having problems at the moment as he has a yard full of purchased cvrt’s waiting to go to the Ukraine for medivac but Barclays shut his account without reason last year and ‘blacklisted’ him.
  10. Same date as Chards. I believe this is the official launch date with pre-sales allowed from today. Had to order some to start the year as we are back to normal 😀
  11. So when do people think these will be released and at what priceish? Im going for 16th Jan and at £398. Just be nice to get back to a regular sovereign with a man on a horse slaughtering a poor animal . 😁
  12. I think you’re in the hands of the dealer mate. Being sold as bullion, as long as it’s the correct weight, I don’t think they would be compelled to replace. I’d hope that the dealer values your custom though and does offer a replacement 🤞
  13. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and thanks to @trp & @ChrisSilver for this great raffle. Opened this lovely beasts completer on Christmas Day, thanks @augur
  14. Yup, I’m in for 5 sovs but it has to come from c**p round the house I sell on eBay 😀
  15. A brit as always and something else when I come to post 🤷‍♂️😁
  16. Ye, thought that might be the case but didn’t know if you had un stripped pics the backend as raw uploads. Anyone get an email pic from him?
