Royal mint site is a whisker off 2 grand for a single brittania and 475 a soverign. Psychologicaly for me seeing 2 grand an ounce breached there will be quite something. 
 

Absolutely, it's a long term asset you stack up over a lifetime or for a rainy day. I cringe when I see 'buy the dip' and 'wish it would drop more so I can buy', we're not day traders moving tons and getting rich on small percentages, well maybe one or two exceptions. 
 That said if gold keeps going like this and the general public catch on I fear forums like this will be over run with speculators and this will look like a crypto forum.

Here's the thing though and I've watched this over and over. If gold drops to £1500 on Monday ( which it won't) 95% of the members on here will wet themselves and still not buy. People talk about backing up trucks but in reality they s*** their pants and think it will keep dropping, then miss the dip altogether,.
Buy little and often, then you will hit every dip there is. Today's high will eventually be tomorrow's low.

We done it guys

I never imagined the gold price thread would end up with Irish drinking songs that are probably about pirates but why not?

Yes, but then again they did sell really quickly which in the current market is almost a premium in itself.
 I remember a few months ago seeing the set of 11 for sale at 19 grand on Atkinson and thinking that's a lot these ones at 19800 for 11 selling in an hour is quite a result in its own way.
 I do wonder if the seller could have pushed the price a little higher.

The lighting is really c**p at the place where I have my deposit box and I hadn't got my coronation set back from grading yet.
 
Modest by some standards here but not bad for about 2 and a half years. I do love my queens beast collection as that was a chore to collect without massively overspending.
 Not too far away from a kilo, I would be there by now but my recent forays in to proof have impacted on 'weight' as a priority.

Crazy that was brutal 
Joshua was on fire 

Yeah it's a nice chunk forsure, and time I think to put it back where it belongs 🙂👍

These are a bugger to sell, I speak from experience! However I did just buy another a few weeks ago as I regretted selling mine...there's something about the centenario that's very special, it feels very heavy and satisfying plus because they are .9000 and usually patinad to buggery so you can happily handle them.

I know that modern proofs are basically pf70 or bust however that's a very good price! 👍 

You do indeed. It was a grand more on release raw. 
Tells you all you need to know about buying them new in the future.

Never thought I'd see this thread...username checks out though

Your all cheer today...
 It was a joke based on the fact that it's hardly a popular or sought after coin and you call yourself the mad King...appropriate for a collector of obscure curios like this. 👍
