AaaGee

Another great small one, thanks to @AndrewSL76 think I now have a bit of a date run started..🤔
 

El Toro and Mr Cat have a new friend 

Hard to find 5 coin Australia lunar set 2020 made specifically for Chinese customer. They had metal rings around the coin luckily just slide off. They have a lip for the coin to sit on.
 

Really happy today with my new editions from @1stsovereign, A 1937 George VI and a 1989.
 

Thank you,  @James32 for this beautiful silver set!
Good quality at peanuts price!
I love silver under spot!🥰😍🤩
 

Nice shiny 10oz Brit arrived today, intended for my son's 18th (it's a surprise, so don't tell him!), courtesy of @SilverTalent I think all I got for mine was socks, beer and one of those plastic '18' keys - how times have changed 😂😂😂

A Star Wars thread 😀👍

That looks like the wrong kind of snow.

That's Absolutely fine my friend. At the end of the day, Folk should make up their own mind for their own reasons. And to perhaps give your point of view more weight, I'm no finance expert, I'm just an average Joe in a rural part of the UK that likes to collect a few sovereigns and I suppose my bias lies there.

Gold has always had an incredible draw - I guess that it always will 🌞

That's a really valid point pal, there's only a finite amount so once it's all been mined then the supply is no more, but the demand will always be there.
Low (or no) supply + high demand = sky high prices 🚀
In 15 - 20 years from now gold will be so valuable that if you can hold onto it you will be in a strong financial position.
The golden rule is "He who owns the gold makes the rules". I heard that in a movie so it must be true 😁
 

I really love silver and I believe in its potential. I have been attracted from beginning, my first piece of silver ever bought was a teaspoon from a charity shop. Then few high premium ounces (yes, beginner's mistake). I have started collecting and stacking for few years, I have changed in time my stacking habits, until I've been happy with the balance I've found, to satisfy my appetite without destroying my budget. 
Now, in my stack I have gold and silver in various shapes and purities, trying to keep approximately the same value, so ratio 1:1 gold vs silver.
Because everything is going to my daughters and my granddaughter, I am happy. The precious metals I am buying and keeping will not offer me a retirement in Tenerife, but will offer me a peace of mind about a financial insurance for my children and grandchildren.
 

I got into a spot of 'light' stacking just as a hobby really - I liked the look and feel of the coins and it was the coronation year with all the 'special' Brits and Sovereigns and suchlike. Then I started watching more of the podcasts - to be honest the American ones with the 'prepper' slant  made me laugh, these folks are seriously nuts, but most of the Brits are fairly sober minded with 'collectible' enthusiasm mixed in. Then I watched one too many CobraStackers and his collectible enthusiasm started to rub off - next thing I know I'm up to my arse in Germania and Perth mint limited strikes, I swear I now dream of shooting freaking Kookaburras with an F35! But as for getting rich, it's never going to happen, I'm planning on divying my collection amongst an expanding number of grand kids so it'll be their headache at the end of the day. I just enjoy the whole experience as a somewhat expensive hobby. Maybe i should have stuck to gardening but there's just not the same buzz in getting your hands on a limited edition Duchy of Cornwall watering can. 

I keep a couple of kilos of silver just incase i need to put some local yupees windows through. Other than that theres no use for it.

On a more jovial note - having a few KG bars of silver is something special to hold. 
My 10 ounce queens beasts are a real treasure in thier presentation box.  
If they become worthless then they are still just as special to me. 

Mints do such much more in silver collectables. Better designs and variety (excluding RM). 
Stacking, not so much.

Silver has started to outperform Gold recently, this trend is in early stages imo

I do think silver pieces will appreciate in value over the medium to long term. 
If you believe gold will go higher then make no mistakes so to will silver to a degree 

You maybe right. 
Got a few proof coins/sets on show and a handfull of bullion stashed away.
Just try for gold when i can afford it now.

Payday and bonus time tomorrow. I feel a golden shopping spree in my immediate future!

3 on eBay now.
 
Typical really. You wait forever for a pig to come along and four come at the same time 😂

It is a quarter dollar, FFS! Not gold, not proof...
Has been in pocket amongst dimes, halves and keys and washed several times by a good wife!
