Gold will go up.   Bond yields down.. Stocks down..  Silver up. Oil up. pretty standard for this situation.   bitcoin.  no idea  .  the biggest riser will of course be bog roll in the UK. up 2,000 per cent    

BTC is a risk-ON asset
Gold is a risk-OFF asset
I'll take the blood pressure meds after this comment but BTC is not digital gold or anything close to it
The crypto action over the weekend is concerning though from a gold POV as there has been a correlation between cryptos and metals of late. Metals haven't fallen as far or as fast as crypto (metals still up on the week as others have pointed out)
What does Monday have in store for metals? Will metals follow crypto, exhibit risk-ON characteristics and have a big dip to mirror crypto, or will gold decouple from USD, interest rates and crypto? 
This is a litmus test for gold IMHO and will tell us whether the majority of the recent rally has been speculative paper action or long-term physical stacking. If gold drops significantly on Monday with all that's going on then the recent price action has been mostly a paper scam (gold acting like a risk-ON asset). If gold goes up on Monday/next week then physical gold is still the one true measuring stick of ultimate security and store of wealth, a risk-OFF asset, like it should be

Look at the bright side - if there is a nuclear war, have your gold and silver near you. When atomic bombs explode, we will fuse with our stash and become one.
Marvelous.

Gave up on the 1/40th Oz. Premiums through the rooF when I got from mint. 1/40 oz was £99. So basically just under £4000 an oz.

Visit in to town today … picked up this quarter🤔🤔same shop as previous purchases and this one nicely under spot🤔😮😮

2 full Charlie's, one ½ Ed
Bought before the dip 😃

Can't actually see anything wrong with this coin, I'd be interested to know why it deserved a 68, feel bad to break it out but got it for a good price 👍 

Hi guys, I've been a bit quiet recently, but have been logging on and following the gold monitoring thread trying to keep up, not that I understand  much of it, but love the banter.
Took a nervous punt on three halves at the end of March at 1770, and then held my breath and pulled the trigger on three more at 1860 last week. Was excited yesterday, but still ok, even with the drop. 
Regards all

It might not be Christmas but it's still a selection box woo hoo!
We have a delectable choice of two silver ounce Charlies, a pretty little half sovereign to add some sparkle, and an individually wrapped one gram bar of golden pleasure. And why not, It might only be a gram but it's still a gram. And what do grams make? Yup, ounces. Besides, state of gold at the moment I can't afford anything else lo-lol. Happy gold and silver day - yayyyyyy!!!!

In the 6 or 7 years I've been around here and really been paying attention to the gold/silver prices I've found that stuff priced well will always sell. A lot of coins that would traditionally have a higher premium (not talking mega collectable stuff here just premiums that are higher than normal - stuff like normal proofs, the QBs mentioned, slightly special sovs, etc) tend to look more attractable as the gold price rises because it often takes a bit for the premium to catch up to the live gold price. I've bought a lot of coins like this during these gold runs over the last 4 or 5 years. Arguable whether it matters long term but when the premium shrinks it feels like you got a good deal especially when those premiums eventually do catch up to the live price once things settle.

I am still buying at my usual quantities but at the moment I am concentrating on gold that has seen its usually higher premium evaporate so has largely remained the same price, proof, graded, young heads etc.  
You may find given you have no trading feedback you will have to send first and receive payment on receipt should you sell on the forum, or potentially go though the @BackyardBullion intermediary service.  If the former just be sure to deal with established members for the first couple of sales till your feedback has built a little and people will pay in advance of shipping.  
Good luck though, I sold a large portion of my own stack last year to pay down my mortgage when my low rate deal was ending.  Gold may have skyrocketed since but I suspect I have/will have saved more in interest payments than I would have made on my gold and I have zero regrets
 

Not always. I have sovs at 1.5% under & no buyers. All tight sods 😆

You could always list it here and see.
If no joy then head to the dealer next week....
Just watch for the inbox messages
 "hi pal I can offer 15% below spot to do you a favour pal"
🤣

Price it cheap enough and buyers will always appear, if @James32 hasn't got there first 🥇🏆

Beasts are always popular, spot plus the £19 post have seen them get bought. Perhaps an additional small premium for the desirable designs, only if they're in top condition.
Britannia are a hard sell if not the ones with the security features. Spot maybe if of this type, so perhaps a dealer.
Depends how quickly you want to sell. The cheaper they are, the faster they'll sell. 
Just to add, you're selling at quite a volatile time. Buyers are waiting for the price to stabilise, who knows when that'll be!

Still buying but altering what I acquire based on how I plan to exit in a couple of decades. Theory being, gold will be far too expensive for most to afford (more than it is already) so most likely exit plan will involve dealers (so now looking to acquire ounces closer to spot than has been achievable with Sovs) whilst also picking up quarter/half Sovs that will be more affordable for the everyday man/woman. Just means I’ll alter my stack a bit over time. That’s the plan anyway

2002 proof half sovereign

It’s only 1oz but that will do for now 😊
