Hi , any thoughts on the expected mintage quantity ? 

As this is a spot price thread , interestingly Atkinsons now offering 2% over spot for some gold items 😳 not sure I’m going to get my ‘ minty Sov’s’ anytime soon 🫤

So its like the daily hedge thing? Having a bit of a gamble I guess. But as the bookies and casinos the broker always win! I mean you pay 9 odd quid for a transaction with Halifax share dealing and 0.39% with wisdomtree comodities

I have a price in mind I would be willing to pay for coins , and if that price is reached by the current spot price I’ll make a purchase , nothing fancy about it

So YOU don’t actually have any gold , to hand so to speak ?

My simple advice is to invest regularly over a period of time and:

Buy coins with the lowest premium over spot

Buy coins that are highly liquid (in the U.K., Sovereigns or Britannias)

Avoid proofs - unless you really know what you are going

Avoid bars

I would add, if I may, to a great check list, ' set up a gold price alert' then you wont miss the occasional sharp drop , saves you keep checking the spot price , this is what I do

My bench mark for gold is £320 a SOV and below. 

Do you think we will ever see £320 a Sov again ?  😉

It does help to include some text in posts.

Having seen this, I can definitely say...

You could do with a decent camera / macro lens.

It’s not one of my pictures 

apparently these results suggest it’s a fake ?

Very true, but even so..its a great way to pass on savings to loved one's without inheritance tax? Just hope they don't sell it at half the value to dodgy Bob down the local🤣🤣 

Fingers crossed 🙏 similar to my road bikes 😳 I hope when I die the wife doesn’t sell them for what I told her I paid for them 😳😂😂

It really is that simple, 

Bullion ( spot price pending and a belief in gold doing well long-term) will return a profit 📈 👍 remember you only loose if you sell at the wrong time.

Proof coins are for collectors who love the design and don't care what the value is down the road, or speculative "flippers " who bank on a coin doing well to make profit, this is a minefield and some do well, but many more fail miserably ( and that's before the poor quality control comes into play)

 

I’d be surprised if people hold for 10 years or so that they don’t come out better off 🫤🤞

the tough part of this is if you are already in the later years of life 😳😂😂🪦

Triggered  I just wanted some attention from the Veteran. 👌

 

To save on postage I might just book a holiday in your area and pop in and purchase face to face lol. 

You’ll be lucky , better look out for the Automobiles to be sure 😜😂

£360 a 2022 Sovereign today 

£380 ( Tavex ) a 2022 sovereign last Thursday 

suckers 😳😂😂

Wonder what caused that 🫤👍💰💰

Personally I find a greater difference in the mint mark , the letter A has a marked difference , the fake having a missing part of the A ? 

I did consider Tavex for my recent purchase of my first gold buffalo ( not available local ) it would of made me a nice saving on my purchase 💰

But on doing my research and checking with ‘ trust pilot’ the decision was made to go to another dealer to hopefully get a better service and actually receive the item . And this is exactly what happened , the coin arrived on time and packaged well,  and in a capsule 🥰 which I thought was a bonus , others might take note 😜😂  by choice I normally would go to the chip shop , as I’ve had great service 👏👏👍

I'd be listening to stuff on 'youtube' more like this 👍 IMHO, also right up to date 😊

We might have to wait a year.

I could work on getting some unofficial trial pieces made early, but I think the Royal Mint might take a dim view.

I know some of my writing gets quite lengthy, but I might end up with a very long sentence.

Would any TSF members come and visit me?

😎

Only if the kettles on ☕️😎

I bet he didn't manage to purchase a 2022  Full Sov 🙂

You are probably using that one, or BbP, who are one and the same company, usiing two different names, and  often different prices, because they, along with the Royal Mint, often appear at the top of Google and other search results. This in turn is probably because they are paying more to Google Adwords to get your attention.

Potential buyers, who might not be as knowledgeable, often lazily pick the best price out of the top 2 or 3 results on Google, and don't look any further for most of the better deals.

I realise you are only using their price feed and graph, and probably not buying from them.

For obvious reasons, I use this one:

https://www.chards.co.uk/gold-price/gold-price-today

Although I would not do if it failed to give reliable results.

Somebody posted a graph of an strange price spike on your chosen (or BbP) chart a few days ago, which did not occur on the Chards feed.

You could always use those at the top of the TSF home page, but there was a big differential on their platinum chart a few days ago, while ours was in line with other price feeds I checked.

😎

You are correct , I only use the chart for info  , which is handy just to see if there is a dip and a buying opportunity , generally I would use my local bullion dealer , but in this weeks instance they had no stock of 2022 1oz gold buffalo’s 🫤😂😂

hopefully they’ll be getting some ‘ minty’ ones in soon
