@Frenchie next in Great Engravers series has been announced

thanks for posting @westminstrel and so it begins again !!! how pages will this thread be by the end 2oz gold for me (i hope, fingers crossed ! )

Andrew Maguire has been like a stuck record on replay since I heard him first on king world news way back in 2010. He will be right one day but a stopped clock is right twice a day and that's a better track records than him

I'll agree to disagree. Pop a thousand Britannia's on at £2 over spot and or £2 under nearest bullion dealer equivalent and watch the lurkers commit and buy. I'll be one of them

Why do folk not state the obvious? There's far to much stuff offered here. Endless bumps and flipped gear offer. Stuff always sold quick be good person to person, stacker to stacker now it's a good amount of amateur dealers hoovering up fairly honestly priced stuff and then offered back to forum. Sadly it's not once it was here. Why do I want to waste an hour trawling through and using my spare time through, knowing fine we'll there's not much of anything at good value/what I couldn't get from a ln established dealer. Sorry rant over

Quadrum cases for me. Every mm size from 1/4 sov to £5 gold piece and everything looks great in laser cut black mount. I'm a bit OCD though.

The raffle is on BBC news web site now. That'll get it in front of a few eyes for sure

Probably only raffling it cos they can't find a buyer for it

The 2017 proof will be a classic in years to come, 200th anniversary, stunning design. Get as many £5 proofs in pf70 and HODL till you retire or hand down to next generation

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265318954339 2oz gold Una & Lion has showed up on Fleabay UK £90,000 wow !

I am still not 100% sure the cc charging will apply to bulliion purchases, it just sounds very much like it will. Need someone to test a 1oz silver coin purchase see what it's charged at

Local coin shop/dealer in Newcastle, not online

X3 2017 sovereigns bu bought today, +3% over spot locally. Can't complain

did that bloke here who had his 1oz rhodium Baird & co bar for sale on for, forever and day ever sell it ? If hes held onto it, he has done well !

Also interesting about paying for fines & enforcement penalties - the very unexpected "emergency" who you could genuinely need to use a credit card, you'll get stung 20%+ APR from Day 1 on top of the fine - bankers are so caring aren't they

Hi All Just got my latest credit card statement through for the month and notice announcement that looks like it may apply for purchasing gold/silver Photo attached below, but will type out also for those viewing on phones " Changes to Cash transaction types From 15th October 2021, certain cash-like transactions will be treated as cash transactions instead of Card purchases: Sending money order or wire transfers (other than balance transfers or money transfers). Buying coins, bank notes or digital currency Paying government or court fines, enforcement penalties, fees or costs Online trading such as share dealing or investments Purchasing or topping up electronic money, payment cards, mobile wallets or account dashboard services We may charge you a cash fee for making them You'll no longer earn cashback on these if you do now See statement Summary Box for fees and charges applicable to your account " These changes are on my Bank of Scotland credit card, but as it falls under the Lloyds banking group the likes of Lloyds, Halifax, and MBNA i would assume these changes will. Normally when big changes like this happen, the other providers follow suit Shame for this to happen, i used to like building IHG mastercard points for a free break away each year buying my bullion, fuel & shopping with my credit card, also could fund an in demand Royal Mint 2oz gold or Queens Beast gold completers using my credit card and then spreading the costs of them over a year with a balance transfer Looks like the beloved bank are trying to sap more sweat & fees from the great unwashed who used their services Although it doesn't reference gold/precious metals specifically, i am 90% sure it probably will Anyone know for sure if it will apply to buying gold/silver ? work inside bank/credit card company ??

Dominic Frisby is great to listen to for his analysis of markets/financial/gold etc his stand up comedy is very to, if you search out his comedy sketch "it pays to be a c**t" proceed with caution if you don't like a little bad language, don't open at work

Just take under £10k of base metal value, ie take five now and five Oz next time also you'll be putting him in the same predicament if/when he returns to the UK in future. Easier to justify if you have original title to them with invoices & statements. His only explanation will be "I was gifted them". Just keep them in safe deposit box on his behalf would be my advice

I've sent a 'report item' through to fleabay for what it's worth Dodgyiest dodgy gold ads I've seen in a long while those
