What is the play here? By the TPTB and their stooge politicians. The current Fiat banking system, does appear to be on its last legs? New systems are being orchestrated in the background. Would appreciate feedback, wise heads on here. What are your thoughts? 
the manipulation of our stacks by invisible hands is frustrating!!!

13 coins and a couple of bars is 13 coins and a couple of bars more than most of the people of the world have (and some can only dream of)
Definitely avoid vintage/expensive numismatic stuff till you've built up your knowledge. I started with BBP too till I found this place (when low-tax silver from Europe still existed, but BBP are still too expensive for me - I think they have a 'sister' business that sells the exact same stuff cheaper - ?).
Good wishes, and oh yes you'll have fun!!!

How do all
 
Quick hello from me. 
 
Ive recently started 'stacking' silver.  Well I say stacking in inverted brackets because I only have 13 coins and a couple of bars so far but anyway, I can see this is going get expensive so Im here to learn.
Im in my 50s, realistically is this too late to start ?  I understand that as an investment silver wont yield the same results as stocks etc but as long as I break even ( eventually) then it seem like it might be fun along the way. Also a small nest egg for the fam maybe if I croak it?! 
So where will I find info on the best places to buy ? Im suppose I'm more interested in standard coins and bars rather than vintage stuff as at the moment the risk is too great not knowing anything about that side of things.
 Ive bought all my stuff so far from the Royal Mint and a couple of coins from bullion by post ! 
 
Anyway, here to learn. Thank you

welcome and hello,
never too old to start a love affair with the shiny stuff mate... ive been doing it since last year and in my mid 50's... everyone on here can give you advice on various ways to go from old stuff to new shiny stuff and pros and cons over silver and gold, its just a case of finding your feet and deciding your path which may change as your knowledge builds, i mainly do the new very shiny silver, (both bullion and collectables) it all depends on what i see or like tbh and yeah it can get pricey but at the end of the day you are buying precious metals which will keep value and grow hopefully over time... i may delve into gold more at the end of this year or early next year as my treasure chest fills up with silver...  look for good deals... on here is a good place to start too. all deals built on trust and good prices to be had 

Good review and I'll take a look at your channel
I will say that imo these lovely little bars make 'more sense' (and are much more alluring!) when you have two or three to jangle together in your hand. They are really tactile and a pleasure to play with. So, if it's your first year and you could only get one, make sure you get subsequent years (or perhaps make an offer to the owner of your bar's number from previous years)! There are also discounts for membership levels and some postage discount on multiples, which all helps.
Silver's really shot up since last year and I couldn't afford all my last year's bars. I was very pleased that when I put some of last year's up for sale at this year's prices they not only sold out within an hour, I was swamped with people wanting to buy them!

Oh yes I'm def going to try and get one every year 100%

I set up this thread to record items missing from the new Marsh book and I have informed Steve Hill about it.  So, thank you for the 1873 half sovereign die no 277.

Thanks BYB mine arrived the other day and I made a video on my tiny 5 sub YouTube channel  🙂
 
 

I received my 2020 reverse proof also. Just wish i had @platinreloaded's photographic skills!
 

Recent coin shop finds:

No, just making a point in plain simple English.

It's just Lawrence's way 
Don't worry about asking questions 

Yes I agree with all of your points there Lawrence. I could and normally would have put a direct link to assist but the title, description etc didn’t help really. 
 
I then read your last comment and think to myself. “ Is he being funny with me there?” 
 
I don’t know 

@Altitudes
These unusual proof sizes were also selectively available in the US market. BOLD precious metals had 15 of the 2oz silver proofs for sale, and I happened to take a screenshot from May 2nd. APMEX currently has a 10oz gold proof for sale at an enormous premium, and the mintage of this coin is 30.  I like to take these screenshots for reference prices, as the dealers remove them after they sell.  
 

As always, I am curious if the RM sent out a brochure for this completer coin? 🙂

I'd like this in a bigger size to show off the design. I have the 1oz gold bullion and it feels a bit like the party with the dwarves at Bag End at the beginning on The Hobbit.

Found a bundle of Readers Digest magaizine in Mum's loft
Here is an article from a 1986 June Issue

Sounds like you need the 5oz version, sir! That is a banging coin.

I picked this up from Mike Maloney's latest vid.

I would also look at the coins of neighbouring countries you can drive to with a coin or two in your pocket.
