I wasn't knocking him, I watch his video's myself. It was more toward passing on stories from the media.

I wouldn't be surprised if it (hypothetically) turns out that the dude had a tip off that the confiscation mafia were on their way and moved the silver to a safe location. Media wouldn't report that though.

The independent "Grapevine Press".

All with the same headline. I'd prefer to be wrong but it won't stop me preparing and exploring contingencies. I'm not a fan of paper representing any wealth.

It's the BBC, what's the motive behind the story? 1. Push toward record keeping for when Mr Global wants our stash? 2.

Hello, my starting place was "ooh, I like that".

The middle, red boxed, two are cupronickel. The design was changed before the metal content.

Thank you.

Mine are both mixed based on metal content.

For humour. There are two tubs, sort and divide the coins. They're all different from each other in some way. Questions may be asked.

Are they hallmarked?

Zombie alert! As this is the most recent thread on this topic it's resurrected instead of posting a new one. I've been tempted to buy new copper products until I read What Are UK Coins Made From? - The Coin Expert and realised I've been a copper stacker most of my life. There'd be more in the photo's if I hadn't spent them at the corner shop cos they're always needing small change. I'm current separating old and new 10p and 5p coins too as they are 75% copper and 25% nickel. I need a maths expert to work out the value of a kilo of those. The designs were changed before the metal content so don't rely on sight. New ones are stainless steel with nickel plating. Saving the older ones now just in case they change the laws regarding damage to our currency.

Popped the cherry. First time purchase and receipt in 58 years.

I'm playing it safe. My family would likely not wash their hands and spread curry sauce and fingerprints all over the shiny. Dirty hands means lower value, possibly.

CGT is one of the important facts I need to discuss with them. That's the reason I'm thinking about concentrating most on legal tender coins. I do like hand poured bars though, so will probably chuck in a few of those, in manageable sizes for the heirs. Thank you.

There will definitely be a reference to check here. Thanks.
