The premiums for physical silver is crazy. Anyone else put off by this? 15% underwater straight away, and that's assuming you can get VAT free 🤔 Definitely leaning towards a physical ETF to be honest, at least it's easy to liquidate.
That’s ok, it’s up almost 22% this week. 😆

Isn't Fourecks that hot sandy continent near the edge of the disc...?
🧙♂️
Baird&Co now have a nice selection of Sovereigns for reasonably good premiums. Considering an early Elizabeth II...
The pre-decimal Elizabeth’s are very nice. I have a date run of those and a few more besides. Great choice.

Administration and how it impacts you.
Please note that Jason Baker and Geoffrey Rowley of FRP Advisory LLP, were appointed Joint Administrators of Glint Pay Ltd, Glint Pay UK Ltd and Glint Pay Services Ltd (the “Companies”) on 18th September 2019.
The Companies are under the supervision of the Joint Administrators and all client monies and currencies (“Customer Funds”) continue to be held in segregated and safeguarded accounts.
Withdrawal requests were suspended last week (including payments on your debit card, ATM withdrawals or FX transactions) whilst the Administrators review Customer Funds balances and reconciliations.
This review was finalised this afternoon (30thSeptember 2019) and we are pleased to update that the Administrators have not identified any reason to believe there are any deficiencies or inaccuracies in the Customer Funds held.
Regrettably however it is not possible at this time to reinstate payments or process withdrawal requests (including payments on your debit card, ATM withdrawals or FX transactions) as the bank operating the safeguarded accounts has frozen these accounts as of Friday 27 September 2019. The operating bank has taken these steps in accordance with their standard procedures relating to insolvency events, such as the administrations.
The Glint app is still functioning, so you can continue to view your account balances, but no further receipts or payments will be processed whilst the safeguarded accounts are frozen.
The Administrators are liaising with their legal advisors, the operating bank and the team at the Companies to try and identify a solution to this. A further update will follow as soon as any material progress is made in this regard.
Any Gold that has been purchased remains the property of the client and is held in a secure, insured and independent vault in Switzerland. An independent statement from both the Gold Liquidity provider and the vault (Brinks) has been requested to ensure this matches to Glint’s records.
Whilst the safeguarded accounts are frozen, the Companies are unable to settle any gold trades, so these have been suspended in the interim also. The Administrators are liaising with the relevant parties with a view to implementing a work around which will allow sales of gold held to recommence this week. A further update on this will be provided on Wednesday 2 October 2019.
Please note that any monies resulting from the sale of Gold since the date of administration have been paid into the safeguarded accounts, which have been frozen.
Our priorities:
The priorities for the Joint Administrators and their staff are now to:
-
complete a review of the safeguarding arrangements; and
-
assist the directors in seeking investment to rescue the Companies on a solvent basis and exit Administration, or if not possible, then to achieve a transfer of the business and assets to another regulated entity.
In the interim:
Please see our FAQ sheet for additional information and continue to direct any specific account queries to the Glint customer services team at support@glintpay.com or call at 0203 915 8111 (Lines are open 9am to 6pm on Monday to Friday, and 9am to 1pm on Saturday).
Should you have any queries related to the Administration, please contact glintpay@frpadvisory.com or 020 3005 4000.
The Joint Administrators and their staff appreciate that this a difficult and frustrating time for you. Please rest assured that everyone is working tirelessly to ensure that the security of Customer Funds remains of paramount importance.
We thank you for your continued patience with this matter and a further update will be provided by close of business on Wednesday 2 October.
Yours sincerely,
For and on behalf of Glint Pay Services Limited, Glint Pay Limited and Glint Pay UK Limited

Thanks to @BackyardBullion for creating this Gairsoppa shipwreck recovered silver hand poured bar and round.
The bar is just over 1kg at 1075g
The hammered round is also Gairsoppa silver at 5.05oz and is designed as a tribute to the Bombay Mint stamp on the orignal 1000+ oz bars sunk then recovered.
The wooden box is an ebay cheap one with a 3D printed insert I designed, printed then flocked for a smooth velvet feel.
The QR code takes you to BYB's pouring video on YouTube and it also contains a micro SD card with hi-res images, videos and forum links to the bars creation process for provenance.
Wow, that is fantastic. Absolutely beautiful.

I’m not even slightly ashamed to say that I could hardly wait to get home from work today to open this..
I know it’s had a tough life but, damn son, what a coin. Thank you very much @MikeSol.
Slippery slope though, I think I need a nice graded one now too.

I have been itching to buy some shiny stuff recently but the spot price has been putting me off somewhat. Spotted this on Atkinsons’ website on Thursday for £365 delivered. I have quite liked this since release but not at £480 the Royal Mint are asking. It came complete with all packaging etc.
Itch scratched... for now!

Very cool, thank you for sharing, great resource. I echo the above sentiments regarding including delivery and also adding Sharps Pixley.

£1086! Are we going £1100+ soon?

It's a proof year, was it sold as such or a "lucky dip". Looks polished to hell.
It was sold as a "Pre-Owned 1994 UK Maklouf Head Full Sovereign Gold Coin", but mentioned proof finish in the description. It was pretty much bullion price. I certainly wasn't expecting a perfect coin for the price
Can you completely polish the proof finish off like this? Wouldn't there be traces left?

I received this today. It came from a well known dealer. Size and weight is ok. The rest seems all wrong. Opinions, please?
I know the photos aren't great, I shall attempt to take more if needed.

These have been delivered mostly over the last few days from @MikeSol. I forgot to thank you for the DF Airtite capsule - thank you, Mike.
I purchased an LED magnifying glass recently, it gives some interesting results when taking photos:
I also purchased some lovely "junk"from Mike:
My OCD wouldn't allow me to have $1.75 in quarters so off to eBay I went for this rather worn example:
Last but but not least, a 1904 London Eddy bullion sov:
