Well thanks BYB that's really reassuring I held most of my bits and bobs for lots longer than that. I guess I'm a born worrier. When I sell, I will sell in one go. But it will still take a long long time. It would probably take over a year. Thank you for putting me straight and giving me the info. Kind regards, Frugal.

What would be considered rapid? It all adds up when you been squirreling the metal away. One coin that I have could go over the 2 thousand pound mark, thats well over the £1,000.

Yes backyard bullion seems I will have to get a business account and use my normal debit account separate. I'm not on uni credit and I don't like to overwork but I have a regular bunch of clients that keep me ticking over and a steady relationship with the tax man (he even gave me £400 to last me over the entire furlough ). I'm just worried that he will see my own personal collection of metal objects that I bought with my own spare cash (that I have never really considered selling up to this point) as assets.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Mainly fencing, hedges and landscape gardening 5 yrs SE now (always paid in cash, putting some in the bank for vitals). Just got in and started reading and called for dinner so will reply in full in a bit. Thanks again.

Just a quick 2 questions on when it comes to selling in the UK. How much can you sell before you are taxed? If you are already self employed, does this count as earnings or savings? I got a few goals. Have enjoyed my time on the forum and hope I have not been mistaken for a fiat shill. I wish only for the purchase of gold and silver to be perceived as being patriotic (Which indeed it is!). Thank you and best wishes F.

This fascinating topic will do for a good read in the long winter nights. I remember the buzz of excitement at the time. Seems the more you buy, the more you help the fiat system.

They would look good in a display next to the real medal. I don't get the newspapers coz there full of ***t. Glad to see this advert though. Tiny victorian toy sovs and half sovs are around if you know where to look and can sell for more than real ones Lest we forget.

WOW that's a massive blob of gold😲. My Gibraltar 2020 £1 coin is only half the size and a much worse deal lol.

I was talking about back in the day (my day lol) But you are making the point even more significant. Banks don't like you storing cash outside of the banking system because they would lose any velocity it had, they don't really encourage saving within the banking system, they prefer you to borrow from them. Even buying gold and silver keeps the fiat fully inside the banking system. I believe there are databases of serial numbers for the larger denominations. Otherwise why would they bother in marking them? Forgive my grammer.

Highest note is £50 when it should be at least £500 compared with inflation since it's release back in the day. A £500 note would take up less space and would be easy to track and recover, but it would not make any money for the banks. If you store cash fg sake write the numbers down. even as proof of ownership

Difficult to say when I've just recovered the premiums back on last months purchase. I may turn to fractional for a bit.

Do you write the serial numbers down? They all look the same that way round. I accept them lol

The dealer is quite innocent and probably oblivious to the fact. I think its down to the polarity of the blanks but that's bad press and top secret knowledge so I removed my explanation.

Brits maples philharmonics. Can the royal mint please research and develope some kind of new demagnetization process To accompany their other new technological advancements in minting Regards, A. Theory.

Georgian London. To help ascertain value and ID maker you need better zoom and complete item photos. How many spoons? Are they basting spoon or tea spoon size? Any damage and are the bowl tips worn? Regards, F.

They are all off center in the same place the beading starts and finishes in the same place and i can tell they were produced in exact order. Unfortunately I may have moved a few out of place. so it will take me hours to put them back in order. hindsight isa lovely thing lol.

I meant this years gold Brit. We are still in 2021 lol

I opened the seal myself. Can you see the beading between the grooves? I cant think of another 1oz blank with beading between the grooves apart from last years gold Brit had dots. Totally the wrong size for this of coarse.

Last photo I promise. I'm starting to see things that aren't there now

I noticed less than a second after opening the tube. you cant really miss them. the edges look ugly.

Thanks Jvw I'ts a great place and I'm slowly finding my way around. We could have sent theBrits back but decided to keep them for the novelty. There a bit crazy looking but from a reliable source lol. I have 25, be interesting to hear of any others out there. Correct size and weight. with a slight oval of less than a mil showing up on my calipers.

Yes, its a great feeling and knowing that its an investment costing nothing at all rather than a pure extravagance is part and parcel for me. EDIT Shopping restores a sense of control Research has shown that making shopping decisions can help reinforce a sense of personal control over our environment. It can also ease feelings of sadness. ... In this study, those who actually purchased items were also three times less sad, when compared to those who only browsed. I'll go along with that one from google lol

Images of Mr chips with a bullseye T shirt on. Thanks lol Keep pumping em out

The guy states that the mint produces up to 250 bullion coins per hour, meanwhile the press in the background is pumping out at at a rate of more than one per second lol.
