Did you approach him in your speedo attire?

That’s interesting, never heard anything of this. What period do they come from? Got any pictures you could post?

Folk have talked about a wealth grab from pension pots for many a year, I am old enough to remember Robert Maxwell plundering the pensions of his employees, instances are rare and few and far between. Also, many organisations, particularity public sector in the states do not have the resources to keep financing their obligations to members years down the line, this is something different. The UK government does not have a pension pot for the state pension pot either, it just comes out of general taxation, but let’s not conflate this with private pensions. I am easily convinced around arguments that the state will take your savings one way or tother but I am not convinced regarding pensions. The reason being is that the wealthy of this nation, I.e, the top percentiles, hold and have acquired more than half their wealth in their pensions. It is one of the best wealth generating vehicles we have and a big tax shelter. Now for the politicians to come along and retrospectively grab this money, mainly from their own? I don’t believe they would go down this route, the elites take care of each other. The wealthy have little in cash and you may find a haircut: bank bail in/ cash grab when the s**** hits the fan but the Uber rich will see this coming and have their assets elsewhere. To me, pensions are safe, have “free” money attached and encourage long term savings with the added benefit of compound interest but obviously folks must make up their own minds. I’m in my 50’s now, folks were decrying pensions since my youth/ Maxwell era, but I wish I had saved like mad one into a pension from then, would be sitting pretty now and fairly confident it would last my lifetime and leave a legacy to pass onto my kids.

Pension contributions attract tax relief (extra money in) to your pension. You can deposit up to your annual salary amount, with a ceiling of around £40k PA. There is a lifetime allowance of just over 1 million £ for your pension pot before you pay additional taxes. When you crystallise (start to drawdown) your pension, you can take 25% lump sum tax free. You can also take amounts tax free subject to the usual tax free thresholds. Currently around 12k PA. Gold and other metals can be held within personal pensions via ETF , Royal Mint etc. Pensions are one of the best ways of growing wealth in the UK and the allowances are still fairly generous for most.

Please report back by 6am!

Don’t worry guys, I steadfastly sat out on this one all the way so it is bound to rapidly appreciate.

It’s not so much Preston’s voice as the way he structures and punctuates his sentences I feel. I think he does it on purpose the twat.

Was listening to a podcast yesterday. Guys take is all the central banks are currently insolvent and that a reset will come overnight after they close all world banks. In comes CBDC . The small man will be able to exchange all currency he has 1 for 1 and will probably get a few grand sweetener on top. Any debt (mortgage) you hold will rapidly become worthless as no one will want the old currency. There would be no point swapping all old for new as they would be back to square one again. Some concessions would be made to avoid rioting in the streets. Banks and national debts would effectively be written off. I am not saying I totally agree with this view. banks usually want their pound of flesh and screw the man in the street. However can they have their cake and eat it?. Perhaps they will enforce a partial claim on personal debt, say 25% and write of their own and nations debts only. The next couple of years are going to pivotal in how this unpacks. I believe the plans are already in place for a reset, it’s the crucial detail and timings that we don’t fully know. I suppose the point I am trying to make is it’s not clear cut and very few people know for sure the exact detail. Getting rid of debt is sound advice In almost all circumstances however this could be one occasion where holding debt would be of benefit.

That goes for me also on a different matter, see 2 posts back. Helps if you (I) read the following posts. In my defence I quoted what I thought was the latest post on the thread. Wasn’t looking to steal anyone’s gag😄

Production on the last working day before Christmas, jeez. Look out for mules and some interesting coins with QC stickers on!

Breaking up is hard to do.

Don’t tell Junkbond that. Nor Goldiggerdave I would guess for that matter.

Not long ‘til $1800, then $2000?

They can give you the Trotskys.

Hi Paul. I know you are a very experienced eBay seller however I am interested to know if you have had any issues with buyers claiming goods not received etc with selling that amount? Also have you been selling individual coins? I am possibly going to be parting with a few oz shortly to fund a car purchase however I think I will stick with the forum.

If they are doing the logo, I’m in!

£2.50

The well done mint for doing a smashing job selection was just out of shot🤔

Drop down menu from RM email contact, says it all really. Why can’t companies just give their email address for “customer services” these days?

BBC saying they were struck before she died and not redoing due to cost and efficacies 😄 Then when you go to order saying there will be a delay getting these coins out, up to 16 weeks and they will have your sheckles now thank you very much. Innit marvellous.

That is a very trusting purchase, presumably not direct from the mint given the year? How did you assess its provenance in such a purchase may I ask? Also, how do you establish trust, if you keep as it and sell on to the general community?

Or you could just bung them under one weight heading eg 1/4oz gold Aussie nugget/Roo like HGM did in the good ol days, call it a lucky dip/various years. Assuming you buy all at the same price and don’t select the rarer for individual sales. Tough life being a coin dealer.

Ordered a British Monarch silver proof yesterday, they have dispatched today despite saying awaiting stock and 12 weeks wait I think it was. You may get these coins quicker than anticipated!

12000, what a joke
