I think they are the lyrics of a Rap song. 🙂

I heard that Everybody's Talking About Jamie, but... ...W.T.F. is Jamie?

No, but the W.H.O. did, https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-statement-on-ihr-emergency-committee-on-novel-coronavirus-(2019-ncov) Unfortunately, Boris Johnson seems to have been blissfully aware of this until several months later, as apparently were the rest of H.M. government, and the entire House of Commons, including the opposition. Mind you, The Kaiser Chiefs predicted a riot, and nobody believe them either! @🙂

That was quite a clever question, however I would be much more impressed by a reasoned argument in favour of your position, perhaps coupled with some evidence of your success at forecasting. 🙂

I did use to sell them at £4 each! 🙂

Sorry, I should have been able to tell from the photo. They are nice. In fact, I am waiting patiently to see my next one.

@richatthecroft You are certainly not stupid, but I suspect that nobody in this thread has the ability to interpret any of the charts and stats posted, including the O.P. If there is, then this ability has not been clearly demonstrated. 🙂

I had a girlfriend who said that to me once! 🙂

I loved it last time it was $400! 🙂

Want to sell me a couple of tonnes at $5? 🙂

I am, that's why I am speechless.🙂

Another kilo?

That comment is rather binary, and fails to include certain minorities! 🙂

No wonder ChrisSilver had to put a "Please remain respectful to other members even if opinions differ. " banner on this topic! I am almost speechless. There is a lot I could say, but most if not all of it would fall foul of the banner requirements. 🙂

Efficiencies in mining would probably apply equally to both gold and silver.

Without trawling through lots of previous posts, why is what not more expensive / so cheap? Gold or silver?🙂

Never seen a black diamond? They do look very much like a piece of coal (at least the better ones do). 🙂

There are / were no trade barriers affecting import from Oz to UK for coins or bars, only VAT where applicable. What did you expect from HMRC? They are rubbish! We have been importing from Perth Mint for years. Of course, HMRC the Royal Mail, and customs agents conspire to make life difficult, but that's about normal, and worse in the last year.

Too late, it sold overnight!

Spot on! 🙂

You could put them on ebay as "Fully Tested and Guaranteed Genuine Fakes" 🙂

No, I have not heard further yet, but I do expect to. Sounds like you are keeping the item under close surveillance.

Sorry, but the smallest we had even last year was 0.5 ounce, then mainly one ounce, with not one, but two, x 500 grams each. We would always prefer coins rather than bars. I know it's not what you are looking for, but these are interesting: https://www.chards.co.uk/1968-tonga-palladium-3-coin-set-counter-stamped/9520 1968 Tonga Palladium 3 Coin Set - Coronation Counter Stamped I think the 1967 issue constituted the world's first palladium coins, and remember handling both sets at the time. Can't remember the prices though, although we might have some old copies of Coin Monthly magazine lying around, with our prices in.

We were very happy to dump all our stock of palladium bars and coins about March last year, although we just missed the peak price. We still continue to be happy to stay out of it while while prices are so high, especially when platinum is so cheap. ...unless you like buying high and selling cheap! If we do get any secondary market ones in stock, we will try to get them back out of the door as soon as possible. Actually, I am not quite right, a colleague has just informed me that we do have about 30 ounces of palladium in stock, which is next to nothing. ☺️ https://www.chards.co.uk/products/palladium
