And now pub time, well taken in the pub

First saw some cast gold in person last year. Finally got some without converting my entire stack into a single piece 🤣 

A couple more acquired over the last couple of days.
2009 Proof Sovereign, which will be heading for grading tomorrow and another 1891M Short Tail already graded AU53.
 
 

Today I received a set of fractional Libertads from @SAS. I have included a 1 oz Libertad that I received previously. I am going back and collecting the fractionals to go with the 1 ozs. After that I will go back and collect the 2 oz, 5 oz and the big 1 kg to go with the fractionals.

Take everything you see on YT with a huge pinch of salt.  Many people now can feel economic change in the winds and having a diverse portfolio is key.  If you buy silver you need spot to double just to return a small profit.  Just go into stacking with your eyes wide open and you are not just buying magic beans because the nice man on YT told you to buy them. 
Will your stack save you in economic meltdown or from hyperinflation?  Probably not, in the worst case economic scenario many will lose their jobs, so ask yourself do your plans allow for a sustained period of unemployment?  Can your stack be liquidated into profit or return enough income  to keep the wolfs away from the door for 6-12 months?   Most working families need 2.5-3k per month coming in just to get by.
The best weapon against any serious economic change is to be debt free and solvent, so as part of your game plan driving down debt can be a sensible option, though boring as hell and you don't have anything shiny to hold. 
I see this totally bizarre attitude  from some stackers almost wishing for the end of the economic system to happen and they think they will become rich over night, it's painfully shortsighted.  Like going to the bookies and putting a million quid bet on for the world to end the day after......either way you can't collect. 
Collecting silver is a great hobby, gold can preserve your wealth providing you can afford to hold it for the long term.
Cheers

Back from grading today 🙌

Beautiful 1896 1/2 pond south africa 

A nice Gold QB’s Completer 

I most definitely have the fractionals bug again. Picked up this element card. Now wishing I hadn’t sold my combi 1gramers lol 😂 7 needed to complete sigh. 

@SovUK started me off with the 2002
@arshimo2012 with the proof 2005 
 
Next will be a 2012 bullion at some point when I can. 
Love both these coins. Thank you to you both 

Do we call it junk over here too 🇬🇧 or is that a US thing? 🇺🇲
5 fine oz of British .500 

My latest submission to NGC came back. Really surprised with my first 70 (and an MS!) and very happy. 🧐
 

Finally have some time to post these recent additions. A stunning 2021 The Queen's Beasts Completer Five-Ounce Silver Proof! This size really accentuates the detail of the Queen’s Beasts designs from across the last five years.



And a couple of other Silver proofs from The Royal Mint...
Quite the intriguing design of the 2021 Alfred the Great £5 Silver Proof.



And also, an homage to “getting into mischief” with the 2021 Peter Rabbit™ One Ounce Silver Proof.



Oh, yeah, there was another, 2021 The Queen's Beasts Completer Silver Proof, this one in 1 oz. Still, comparatively, the 5 oz is the one!



And not silver, but liking the size of a good St. George and the Dragon, a George VI adding a 1951 George VI Crown.


 

Got my completer coin other day only bullion but good price think its one of the best coins from rm for a fair while 

Got 5 2020 Britannias and a 2015 Somali elephant. I'm waiting on a kookaburra this week. Im starting to get a wee stack going. 

The lesser spotted 1/4 oz 2020 proof Libertad.

Gold Time ! 🤠
1oz Geiger cast bar
2 x 10 Gulden 1889 & 1840.
Very happy with the 181 year coin.

Up to date with my swans now thanks to Martin at Silvertrader. 

Just been to my favourite bullion dealer in the High Street for the 1/20oz Isle of Man angel and the 1887 silver crown. He only charged me £20 for the silver crown which was nice of him. 

I took a grand in cash last year to center parks. Nowhere on site excepted it. I was furious but I was the only one that was furious. Everyone else thought I was strange taking cash in the first place. It's the way the world is going.

You are the currency of the elites. From birth you are a corporation your name capitalized and on every official document, until your death when on your headstone your name is still capitalized. You are born into bondage/ slavery ie the financial bonds that are raised in the bond market are basically you. This is why suicide was illegal, it was viewed as destruction of state property. Tax is the theft of your labour. Government does not produce anything, it basically breaks your leg, and thinks it is doing you a favour by giving you a crutch. UBI just enables government further control, as with this currency they purport to give you comes with further conditions. Do you think they would let you vote if it really made a difference, all the parties are paid for. Be careful what you wish for.

why dont they just give an extra 5k tax relief instead?

It's funny how the wealthy always have their hand out first but you can't pull the wool over my eyes bull, I am of a age where I know how much cr*p you have given away in the past.
