2017 Sovereign and 2017 1oz Britannia will be nice for the stack ?

na, with sovereigns, just buy as many as you can afford, sod the records

Half sovs just arrived from HGM, George V 1925 and Liz 1982, very pleased with the condition. Couldn't believe how excited I was opening the package and wondering what I had been sent. Apologies for the crappy camera. My first gold.
 

A 2005 Aussie proof 150thanniversary sovereign. Crappy iPad camera does not do the coin justice. I love the colour,  proper alloy of gold and silve, electrum I believed it's called. Royal mint could do with taking note!

The guy has no more idea than the man in the Moon about what is going to happen over the coming months or year.
There have indeed been some large volume sells going on - this means there have been some large volume buys going on. For ever contract sold there is a contract bought. There are many calls at the moment for gold to go down into the end of the year. When there are many calls about anything you can be sure it is propaganda at the behest of the central planners
The paper markets are managed by the central planners because this is part of their management of fiat currencies and stock market indices. The single seller volumes that get flushed through breach intra-day position limits. These get reported for what it is worth to the so-called regulators who ignore these reports b/c it is their ultimate bosses who are doing the selling. There have been some desperate attempts to cap price at critical moving averages in the last few weeks. The only reason for the big volume sells is the likes of the Bank of International Settlements and agents of the Fed have been selling 100's of tonnes of paper gold and triggering stops of 1000's of tonnes of speculator positions. The problem they face when this happens and price slumps it triggers a tsunami of physical buy orders that sit there waiting. These take a few days to ultimately hit the markets but when these are presented for delivery they can and do push price higher b/c bullion banks have to deliver and they hedge this. The reason price is not at $800 is simply b/c of the physical market.
There is a game being played between Western central planners attempting to prop up the USD and the stock and bond markets on the one side and the Asian physical buyers, including their central banks on the other. For as long as physical can be delivered at bargain prices the physical market participants are happy for this to continue, all the time draining Western vaults until they are dry. i genuinely see this game is reaching a climax. i know large tonnage buy orders have been blocked, i hear 100's of tonnes of gold are going through the Exchange for Physical COMEX conduit which is supposed to be an exceptional event but this has been ramping up over recent months. Here COMEX shorts are actually being confronted with demands for delivery that will not go away even with bribes of large premiums. Even the regulators are feeling inclined to look into this.
This is building up and has been building up over the summer. Physical buying appears to be as strong as in 2008 when gold launched into its huge bull run. None of this will ever be visible from a chart of phantom gold proxies like GLD. Something is brewing and a price reset is certainly not a million miles away. A concerted physical buying frenzy is all that would be needed to close the markets and reset price significantly higher. When this does happen and it will, it will not be a slow process.

Another Johnson Matthey + Umicore Brasil bar arrived.
Think thats me officially done with stacking now
 

Well yesterday............the postie paid me a visit.
a proof 2005 and some bullion.

 
a 1884 shield half sovereign. was surprised I didn't have one already.
 

 
A lovely 1818 crown in EF condition. obverse maybe shows some signs of a little past cleaning, but hey don't send it for grading

I love Mexican Libertads.
 

A bit of gold porn, the bars are starting to arrive (from Canada).
Due to shipping insurance limits they ship each bar individually and 2 packages at a time.
I have another 2 bars due for delivery tomorrow then another 4 bars to come soon.
Would be cool if I end up with 9 different mints
Also got a peli case so when all the bars arrive I can pop out the foam squares to fit the bars correctly.
 

8 X 1kg gold bars.
So excited

The big one arrived today
Shrink wrapped with cert, shiny fresh bar too made 31/8/17
Feels unbelievably heavy for its size.
 

@Stu The answer is.. more chests, lol. For coins and bullion and other silverware. I buy and sell all kinds of them, from as small as your palm to the size of a monitor.
Here's a peek: https://postimg.org/gallery/2mmainc44/   
Many hide inside others, like ninjas.  Or Russian dolls.  The tiny ones get lots of use for my nephews; treasure hunts! Got hundreds of those. Boxes, not nephews. 

Very nice but what's in the chest you tease?

It's here! 
What a coin
