Similar family set up with 2 older kids, 2 cars. Live out in the sticks. Our food bill keeps rising, try to keep a lid on it but even with being careful, looking at £500 a month. Shop everywhere for best deals, use vouchers and now do a menu plan so only buy exactly what need. This is useful as saves faffing on deciding what to have and works very well. I would say it’s a ball ache thinking about it but not as bad in reality. I share the cooking also so helps me choose dishes I am good at. Alsoto add, shopping bill includes food and household products but not alcohol which is separate.. You can be frugal but it’s a life choice. My other half is ok with it but it’s a fine balancing act between that and being cheap. Fuel is mega, nearly £100 to fill the family saloon. Electric went from £90 to £130 as company went bust and wil no doubt be closer to £200 by April. NI going up in April. I think I got a 1.5% pay award this year coming so still going backwards big time. Just hope gold does its job folks!

I thinks it’s the gothic crown portrait but the media or someone has cocked up when reporting?

Chards have already had them in pre sale for a reasonable cost. I missed out/🙁

What the hell can be the delay if these actually ARE going to be struck on the 6th? I have my doubts. All they would need to do was flip them into a capsule, kick them into a box and get postman Pat to collect. Yet another sign that the mint have overstretched themselves.

They are taking the proverbial now!

As long as no underlying co-morbidities. Should be fine )99.5% of peeps😄),

Sign of the times my friend. Only consolation I could offer is that if it is a series you really like, buy back in at the other end when prices have bombed.I’m still on the fence, but really object to the mint kicking the arse out of any success.

You’re lucky! Much to the consternation of my neighbours, I can’t afford pant or pants (U.S.)

Oh no…….

Is that the 5oz gold proof version?👍

The mint keep hicking the tariff when onto a winner. £180 for the Una £250 3 Graces £260 Quartered arms I suspect after the portrait we will be up to £280 and beyond for future releases.

I reply to this even though I don’t have a valid answer for you.😬 I mind starting a few threads in the past without any response whatsoever! Felt like the guy out the fast show, “I’ll get me coat”

Was wondering what was going on, thought you may have cracked the human genome!

Cut out the middleman

Place an order for a low value coin, you will then be able to save the card details and have it ready for next time.

I find it incredible the mint will offer a set of 21 coins of this calibre/cost and not look after the collector! As stated before, even to get in at the 1oz gold. You would need to “invest” around 50 grand. I believe as said before, there is only one way to save the mints profits and satisfy collector demand is to mint to order. Everyone happy and secondary prices will settle eventually.

I would think so, usually confirm 24hrs before by email. Keep an eye on this thread.

I think if you go for this you have to be prepared to take a sizeable loss in case it flops. Might be worth getting early releases in the hype if looking to flip. Good luck to folks whatever they decide to do.

21 releases in the series, 2oz gold at around £4500 per coin equates to almost £100k in its entirety. A massive commitment, especially over 5 years.. I note there are 2 releases in the same month at one point! I think I am out.

No worries Captain Ahab.

Folks can buy it elsewhere, I don’t give a whatever. These will do very well in my opinion , that is why I’m am purchasing where I can. If I can get from the mint also so much the better. Happy hunting folks.

I don’t think do mate. Grab any u you get below £800!but I think they will do much better.

Ps,history is irrelevant , it tells us **** all

If you care to read any of my posts from the past you would know this was untrue, I suggest if you want a battle you go elsewhere.

My concern is they bag 10, price gouge up the way , then when they sell to folks who have pre ordered, they inspect, keep the door f70 as they see s as nd send out the s**** to mrpunter nohoper
