My 2nd great cousins great uncle was on the titanic.. he was a trumpeter on it playing as it went down. John law hume from Dumfries
This is not euphemism but true story 

In terms of actual costs for 5 sovs or the saving of £1850? I'm ahead of the latter, more than likely behind on the former. Might need to sell a kidney  

sexism reported!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out all day today but I'll be back in time for the end of this auction.
 
It's still theman being the one taking this stunner home. Will anyone go up against him. Tune in next time for the slowest auction known to man.
 
Ends 9pm

That will be next month,
the forum will be full of people who sold at £2000 and now wish they'd waited for the peak.

I am surprised you noticed, but yes, indeed, I've slowed down a little my coins purchases from Ebay... resulting in an almost instantly increase of prices for spoons, trays and forks.

My next £150 has been shifted into the savings, every 28 days. That's now £1050 in total. Might need to drop another couple hundred in to stay ahead of the curve to ensure 5 sovs in December 

I have no idea.
First silver coins came to me from my father in 1989/90 - vaguely recall 1887 3d and 1/-, 1953 Franklin half, 1944 Washington quarter and a 1917 Aussie shilling. So I didn't buy these.
Purchase wise - I had a few coins purchased with pocket money - 1924 and 1934 sixpences, a 1944 and 1945 shillings, a part set of 1937 proof coins - crown, half crown and sixpence. Also shillings of 1758, 1837, 1839 and 1895. Plus some 1912 coins and an Edward I penny. Most of these were purchased between 1992 and 1998.
All of the above have been sold, except the Franklin half, the Washington quarter and the Edward I penny.
As for stacking, actual metal instead of numismatic, my first purchase there was a 1921 Morgan Dollar bought for about £8 in 2000. More than it was worth at the time.

1 kilo umicore. in march 2011 @22 quid an oz.  think it was from the gold company. still got it 13 years later, finally broke even on it last week

A libertad and Johnson Matthey 1 oz silver bar, both from Sarnia Silver (used to be a great little company) for approx. £15 each. Think spot at time was approx. £11-£12

I was gifted the first silver proof £1 (1983) coin in 2000.
My first purchase was a Charles II Crown - and i still have it ! 
 

10 tubes of 2023 QEII Brits from Bairdmint. Not sure I got the right coins though as these ones haven't milked yet

From this round of collecting 25 x Britannia's at £12.72 back in January 2016

I would love to know what my first ever silver purchase was. 
Probably a stupid silver 50p from the mint years ago. 😅

Bought 1kg Meatlor Bar from the one and only.. BullionByPost🤦🏻‍♂️

2 tubes of lovely milky maples care of ebay.

A box of 100 Brittanias.

Tbf they were only around £475 average back then. So turned out OK.
