As long as the speculators aren't exiting stage left pursued by a bear... 😎

Iranians are denying a missile strike has even happened. Which suggests that they don't want to respond - they said if there was a missile strike then they would launch a massive retaliatory attack on Israel, so pretending one hasn't happened is the best way for them to avoid an escalation they clearly don't want. And Israel's attack appears to have been really limited. Looks like both are planning to draw a line under things for now. But if the other Israeli conflicts continue then I'm sure it's just a matter of time before another Iranian general gets taken out in Syria or Lebanon, and who knows what will happen then. Guess that's a problem for another day! So to summarise, (*checks thread title*) looks like the gold price should be steadier today.

Wish I knew. Maybe a prediction of things to come? Guessing they can't hedge over the weekend so are trying to cover themselves this way.

If anyone wants to know where the price is going, go and have a look at StoneX Bullion spot prices: https://stonexbullion.com/en/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFo5oSzBm4Kmspi4dqcrtM1pYm2zEvPPWlzOrOtC0jlovmYkmUuMnPRxoCMBEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Don't even get me started on their silver spot price!

Wonga watching the price begin its move down to £400/oz yesterday:

Thanks for this. Whilst there are some clear trends, interesting to see the company with the cheapest price is different for all 4 products chosen. Pays to always shop around!

Can't believe any of the big dealers would be able to do a deal like that. They're all buying back at near spot so no way they'd be able to sell at 20% under. There is that one dealer (can't remember who, gold something or other) that advertises selling at 15% under but I think they're doing something with futures contracts.

Did you already start selling off your stash to fund this?

In classic Royal Mint fashion, it was under the 50p section:

Oh Paul, I hadn't even considered that! So many more potential versions...

So it does come down to personal preference then 😉 yeah I'm not trying to suggest one is rarer than another, just pointing out that there are 2 versions because I don't recall any dealers advertising that fact so thought it might be of interest to some.

Guess it depends on your preference 😉 but I would say if you hold the coin with the reverse facing up, then the animal would appear to be standing up.

These guys are on the Royal Mint website as official distributors: https://www.intercoins.it/ No idea if they'll have the coin but thought it couldn't hurt to add them!

Fun fact, you know they strike the rim before the obverse and reverse? So technically there are two versions of this series, with the design on the rim either the "right way up" or "upside down" depending on which way up the coin went into the dye.
