Bit of bullion. Couple of '58s. One might look a bit '53'ish but it's due to the photo-buggering-engine supplied free with all iphones.

Giving what? Massive premiums lol.

@James32 Oh hello. Honestly, I cant even remember what this thread is about lol

I braved hill and dale to get this weekend's gold n' silver hoard. I fought pirates off the coast of Africa and slayed dragons from the depths of middle Earth. Nope. Internet. 🤗 In the modern world all I had to do was wait for the postman but I did lose a slipper on the way so there was an element of some danger getting this weekend's treasure haul. A shiny silver n' gold Christmas tree. At the base we have Queenie, gone but not forgotten coz she made for a far prettier coin than Charlie ever will, followed by our reining Monarch, x 2. And at the top of the tree we have the ubiquitous half sovereign, shining like a pretty little candle adding wealth and beauty to any stack, no matter how small. Besides, it wouldnt feel right if I don't post about it! 🙃

Not sure who bandaged that! Maybe a sex shop worker lol 🤣

You could say .... I was taking the piss. b00m b00m! Silliness aside, I love silver, and those pots are desirable. I collect my odd bit of junk silver in recycled plastic so a silver pot is a big step up for me lol.

I think someone got hold of a load of silver pisspots on here a while back. I think that was under £22 quid an ounce.

Treat 'em mean to keep 'em mean 😂

Buy buy buy !!!!

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!!!!

.

My entire silver collection can fit inside an emp proof phone case so I'm ok. I need that silver to buy spuds in Armageddon.

A couple more pieces for the pot. Silver Britannia 1oz 2024, and a nice half sovereign, also 2024.

Sovereigns! Sov ... you mean the one ring to rule them all???!!!??? THE British full sovereign chased by generations through millennia as the pinnacle of stacking, wealth, and financial fortitude through good times and the bad? No 😆 I want a piss poor one grammar. It's my lot in life. 😇

Only the finest flat pack from Argos in my diner. No profit there, unless I can flog it to some retro who wants 1980's mdf in their time bubble. I did think about putting a couple of 1 gram bars away for pension day but the way the buggers are going up I'll be paying enough tax on the profits to cover Gary Lineker for a year by the time I retire, which isn't that far. I thought about half sovs but same thing, who needs enough liquidation in a half sov to buy a fully staffed mansion on a private island 20 years down the line. Maybe not 20 years, maybe 2 the way things are collapsing. Maybe I should be looking at microns 🤨

Thanks to all for the comments. I've got no idea why I've suddenly got a bee in my bonnet about 1 gram bars, but I have and it's stuck lol. Then again I'm also fancying quarter ounce silver Brits, so at least my tastes are affordable. 😆

With gold getting more and more expensive, and what with CGT allowance soon being lowered to £3000, are 1 gram bars a worthy investment? Thoughts please.

Good luck with the silver collecting. Tbh it'll probably never be worth investing in but its fun to have and pass on to the kids.

Dr Doh! Gold Dinger! Thunderbawl You Only Suffice Diamonds Are Whatever Live And Lets Cry The Man With The Overrun A View To A Shill Golden Sigh!

Still a bummer but I do agree. Better to knock a bottle of Lambrini off the table than a bottle of Whisky.

I'm not the best person to advise you given the amount you want to spend. My sum total of silver is about £500 quid lol. I'm more hobbyist than investor. I can tell you what's pretty and looks nice, but offshore? no idea at all. Although I wouldn't advise storing anything at home. Get a safe deposit, even if you're only buying a few hundred pounds in value. No point taking risks ect. All the best, it's a fun hobby to get into. I'm sure there are other members here who know what's what about investment silver. Me? My investment knowledge ends at 'Ohhh I like that!' and 'I think I'll treat myself' lol

Why not. Silver is cheap, pretty, and will always hold intrinsic value. And like 'The Pools' you might get a surprise return on it someday, but I wouldn't hold breath. Silver's most attractive asset is to scratch an overwhelming itch, which it does nicely, so you can't really lose. Big ... chunky ... bars! 1oz coins. Lions and tigers and bears ohhhhhhh my!

Um ... ... hope so after buying half a kilo 😂

Will do. I'm in the mood to get my old camera out now lol

Agreed. Will bugger off. In my defence I did get drawn back in. But I'm off properly this time.
