to me gold is a universal money. if i take say mexico peso's to india no one would take them for trade but if i travel to any country with gold i can get the local currency and be fine. i know some of you will bring up bitcoin but bitcoin is dependent on the internet and in my mind not as good as gold in hand.  jim

You can exchange gold for any currency in the world at any jewelers/ pawn shop.
Its why pilots used to get a few Sovereigns in their belt in case they crashed behind enemy lines (Iraq war).

It was in Mike Maloney’s old book:

He is giving it away free! A good read no matter what you think of him (as he sells gold and silver himself).
 

Hi guys - Hope this is ok but just joined to perhaps get some info on these 1kg bars. I paid £500 each for them thinking that was a good deal at current prices. Just wondering if they would come in to a collectors thoughts and may be worth more. Thanks for any info - struggling to find much info on google.

Some pre - coronavirus pick - ups
 

Fantastic little auction buy. No silver sadly. I’ve only opened 25% tubes which mainly contain Uncirculated coins, apart from a couple of the old penny tube which was was full of used coins.

Thank you everyone for your kindness 😁

My very humble Yeagers Poured Silver stack...

A few pictures of some of my gold.

My purchases for my first year

This pic is almost 3 years old now and well before I went bonkers on poured silver, but it's the best I can do since I'm too lazy to get everything together these days.

Update on my stack. It's not even been a year lol and yes as some predicted I did run out of space in my box.


 

Here is my modest Stack. I’m finally at the 100 Oz Silver goal just need to increase my gold stash now. 

edit - just updated pick. I might have to call it time for the rest of the year as need to focus finance on Christmas. Ba Humbug! 
 

Update pic as have sold some silver and picked up some different silver and gold.  I dont plan to add anything else this year. (Hah, who am I kidding)

I absolutely loved setting up this photo...

Thank you to the many forum members who have helped me build my stack!

And last one for now - William and Mary shilling, from 1692.  I love this design too and wish I had a better example!
 

Some older shillings.  Charles II from 1676:

Also if you are OCD about stacking, tubes are good. 

Some close ups as the main pics are blurred.
