My poor bert cut his 4 ft long sausage finger. I much prefer a nice pair of jugs...

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

It is the second time when you insult my handmade silver jug, Caz!😫😫😫

 

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.

The recent comments on this thread have reinvigorated my lust for stacking Ag. So who can supply me with it for £22 fiddy an Oz posted?...... I'll see myself ooot shall I.... I fear that ship has sailed 😞

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.

I have just read the full thread.  Are the products *really* made in Germany and then sold as being from the Oxford Mint, with a Union Jack on the packaging?  

That would be extremely odd - especially as there is something on the back of the packaging about keeping the U.K. together post Brexit.

Can you imagine the owner going onto Dragons Den with this sort of story…

.

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.

Get yourself a handful of sovereigns. @James32 will treat you kindly.

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. 😇

CGT is accumulative though. Lets say you only have the 1 gram gold bar and decide to sell. You make £10 profit after selling fees. Great no need to inform HMRC. However, you found the gold bar after selling your antique furniture in the dining room. Time has been good to you and you pull your full allowance (£3,000) In profit from the sale. CGT would then be due on your gold bar. 

I'll caveat that with. I'm no tax expert and that's my understanding. Always bet to have it in mind as you never know what will happen in the future. We may loose all allowance or the CGT free status of the sovereign. Who knows what'll happen. You may be involved in a boating accident and your poor 1 grammer may be lost to Davey Joneses locker.

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.

( Ohh I like that! and 'I think I'll treat myself' ) sounds like me in a record shop ha ha. cheers for the input, much appreciated.

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.

Also if you end up with a fake unexpectedly, you're only 10s of £s out of pocket and not 100s.

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

Hi Cazlikes coins. Apologies in advance, complete noob here. I am interested in silver UK. How would you go about buying if you were starting out. I'm looking at 5 to 10 year investment of say 20k and 1 to 3 year for 10k. Is it best to buy bars and store them offshore? or britannias and store them at home? Apparently it's best to buy coins privately on here to avoid tax?  I want to get into metals but there's so much to learn and so many variables my heads in a spin.

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

If you had never stacked precious metals before would you begin to stack Silver in 2024? If not why not and what would you invest your money in? 

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 😂

@Silverlocks and @CazLikesCoins . Hate to be that guy, but you know there's a whole section for discussing coin photography, and this isn't it.  We're spamming lots of people's feeds here.

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