This isn't the original threat poster (AFAIK), it's a new user who has started here for some reason. @nabikaw you might want to head over to the the new members' section and introduce yourself there: https://www.thesilverforum.com/forum/10-welcome-new-members/

Welcome to the forum. This is mostly a UK-based forum and while there is a USA & Canada sale section for you to check out I'm afraid it is a lot slower over there. I understand that the US secondary market is largely on Instagram and Facebook, but obviously you should be careful to avoid scams any time you're not dealing with a reputable dealer.

1. @RoughDog mentioned the weight, which would be an issue. But even if it wasn't an issue, it wouldn't really help. Going from 100+ mph to zero in a fraction of a second on contact with the ground will still do you in even if you're inside a very strong container at the time. 9. These aren't contradictions. That isn't to say that "new and improved" isn't sometimes used in place of "new cheaper recipe" or similar but it's perfectly possible to have a new version of something that is an improvement over a previous version.

Well I think that's how the premium on goldbacks works.

Hey, @BackyardBullion do you need any more content for Royal Mint videos?

I think that's the first time I've seen that opinion stated. I've never tried selling gold abroad, but from watching stacking-related content from other countries it seems to me that ounces/fractions of an ounce are much more popular outside of the UK and perhaps a couple of commonwealth countries.

So was it diverted as "dangerous" an then lost/stolen, or was it never actually diverted? If it was logged as diverted, is there any evidence from later in the chain to show it really was? It does all sound a little fishy with other reports of items being deemed "dangerous" and for destruction, then miraculously delivered when that was queried. One wonders if bad actors with jobs within Royal Mail could be abusing internal procedures re dangerous goods to mask their "appropriations".

That isn't really cost averaging. Cost averaging would be investing a certain amount of cash per month (possibly inflation-adjusted). Of course, doing that with physical gold coins is difficult unless you're buying a load of them per time period. The way you're doing it you invest more the higher prices are. In theory, if the market is efficient, then buying when premiums are low (which they certainly are, particularly around here!) is best even if prices are high at the time. But I'm not sure the gold market is really that efficient, and I don't think that's how most "retail" investors in physical gold behave.

Just for reference, civil defence sirens were tested occasionally prior to their decommissioning in the early 90s. I remember hearing tests a couple of times. I've also seen news reporting when site-specific sirens were tested in more recent years (eg at Devonport.)

I believe that hidden reserves are not permitted here:

It's literally a joke. You still end up with gold either way, so which currency you used and whether it's an ATH in that currency are irrelevant. If there is any "discount" in the Ruble price, it'll likely be there for reasons that you can't easily overcome in order to gain an advantage from it (else the arbitrage traders would already have made it go away).

I'm not the seller but the gold Brit didn't get the hologram until 2021 so I think you're safe

Probably my fault - someone asked about this company (by its new name) somewhere so I linked to this thread...

Looks like they're the same guys duscussed here following a rename:
