Behave yourself you know the context of that post fine well. No need to make drama

Definitely happy to vouch for dave, very transparent in our dealings

I can see these being a good buy for the future, I got a set myself. All these king Charles first of a new monarch releases are being slept on, a lot will be future collector items....its just picking which ones and how long you can hold them

Went for the silver set, not my usual thing but I really like these

Got to have a sense of humour about how much money your losing on sets like this

Looks that way but there's also some damage on the rim, very bad quality.

Well that was predictable, my 2 coin set arrived and the unfrosted looks dreadful. Thankfully there's only about 10 of us collecting these so hopefully get a replacement

I really do want to comment on this but it's gone so far off gold price chat the threads going to get locked again. On topic I just can't see gold doing anything but rise according to how this escalates and things could get very serious. Odd to note that today's media and social coverage has been very quiet compared to yesterday, doubt that's coincidence, maybe the media being a little cautious about how things can be stirred up at home?

Wonder how they can afford that when bullion by post, who we all know as a fantastic bargain seller are so much more? I can only assume they are at least 60% brass

Joking aside, I do think they will hold a good premium in future and if I see them at regular soverign prices I'd be taking them, same with memorial and coronation ones, literally nothing to lose on that one. Though I'll be damned if I'm paying that sort of premium today even with that generous discount

Thanks, I'm OK with landscapes and I've got a few decent wildlife pictures however until this I've never taken so much as a half decent shot of a coin.

These very average coins are now sold, I'm surprised it took so long as I thought these were very well priced. It's clearly a buyers market right now, good luck to any sellers.

Cheers, messed around with some settings and actually didn't turn out too bad. Sounds more grand than it was, just put them on top of my black powerbsnk and shot at x3 magnification

Here's some better pictures after experimenting with my camera settings. They actually turned out pretty OK I'd say.

Memorial sovs are lame, your better off with these, much classier

Hi all, I have for sale 3 perfectly adequate soverigns in pretty good condition. Pricw is £375 each. Neither shiny new or trashed they are in decent condition and perfectly good for a stacker. Take all 3 and ill take 15 quid off as I'll save that on postage. Better still they have free postage even if you're poor and can only afford to buy one! You don't see that too often, but I'm nice that way. I'm really bad at photography and can make the nicest coin look like it belongs mounted on the ring finger of a 1970's Millwall fan, they actually look a bit nicer in person though, of course I'm not trying to represent these as pristine.

Free bump for a quality seller.

Lol....not sure I'm winning friends tonight.

Go try to pay your mortgage with your gold stack if you think its the only legal form of money..... While i love gold, why else would I be here?, I've noticed a weird trend developing recently with people espousing conspiracy theories and making statements like this. What you say is clearly not true, gold is at best an alternative currency when others fail, it has history and trust but that doesn't mean it cannot go down in value and not come back up. It's a historical safe haven but it's an asset like any other, sure zoom out on the charts and it always goes up however there are plenty of peaks and troughs. If you take advantage of these you can make money however if you keep throwing money at a depreciating asset then that is indeed good money after bad. Now I grant you over a long enough period the price will probably catch up how long can you sit on your stack if gold does terrible the bed? You realise that you don't have to be an absolutist in this? You can recognise strengths and weaknesses in an asset? You won't have your membership revoked for not being hard-core team gold enough?

I doubt 'the establishment' are likely to tell you. This thread is quickly turning in to r/cryptocurrency or r/wallstreetbets. At first the moon talk and memes seemed ironic but I'm starting to have my doubts

You can, but how many crypto guys got burned that way? You can call it dollar cost averaging but you can also call it throwing good money after bad. I know it's impossible to time a top for a price but I'm just saying if gold did go on a run then there's no good reason not to take profit if it coincides with a depression in other asset classes that you know in the relatively short to medium term will appreciate. I know this is a pm forum and this might sound like heresy but it's an investment at the end of the day, obviously a cooler, more interesting one than most, but it's still monet.

Well yeah, that's why i said it was a silver bar and why I joked about prison wallets not being the preffered option for the silver stacker

Oh I do agree we are in a weird, crazy, inflation bubble and it seems gold is not keeping up. I also agree that when these things reset, which I believe they could/will, there's a good chance gold won't fall off the cliff with them which leaves those holding gold in a good position. The thing is though these are cycles and if I had enough strongly priced gold and the housing market crapped itself I'd sell gold, take my profit and probably put it there where I can actually make it work for me. At that stage the gold as insurance has paid out and you have to think about what will happen to your gold as the economy recovers. End of the day gold is lovely but there's not actually much you can do with it and when the markets/property/businesses are at their lowest they will rise again. Use your gold profits to get in at the ground floor of the next economic cycle. After all if its a hedge, what else could it be a hedge against?

Sasha grey approves this post

I expect recovering them would be tricky part, still, easier than a silver 1kilo square gieger bar
