    BRAVO - great little web page ! 
    Really good that I can see at a glance what the best value is. Great time saving tool, Any form of time saving gets a thumbs up from me
    If a newbie asked me "where would be the best priced sovereign from a reputable dealer", i would have just defaulted to saying Atkinsons of the top of myhead. 
    Looking at the figures on your site, IM WRONG ! 
    Points of note from me ! not moans, not complaints, feedback to build on
    1.totally great it shows the % over spot.  This is what used to make HGM SO GOOD and a big factor that made them build their rep & business. Since they changed, this part of their business model, they have just lost a lot of my custom this past 18 months just for this reason 
    You knew the vast majority of stock was ALWAYS +3% over spot , simple as, PILE IT HIGH SELL IT CHEAP - 1/10s, 1/4's or 1oz. 
    Great in the background it crunches the numbers to show at a glance where is current best value. big time saver !!  
    2.  I would use Royal Mint Bullion as the benchmark price and compare others to this to it.  ie saving £9.85 you would pay at the Royal Mint. Also to show to Joe Public how uncompetitive that actual mint that makes the sovereign is ones of the dearest to buy from !
    3.  Other dealers to add, ukbullion.com, ATSbullion, bleyerbullion, have used them all and can be very competitive on price.  You may as well list maybe change JewelryyQuarterBullion to BullionByPost as i think how most folk know them by. It highlights what a rip off they on on price in most cases to.
    4.  As other have said, with time add other coins, krugerrands, maples, usa eagles, fractionals. queens beasts, world gold coins, slabs would be a great addition long term
    5.  I dont feel it needs all jazz and razzamatazz to funk it up.  it does what it says on the tin.  shows your the cheapeat source at a glance, it doesnt needs to be over complicated IMO
    6. I would very happy to pay a one off fee for yearly access to it. maybe keep the sovereigns price for FREE use access 24/7 (the hook in, to show how it works) and add all the additonal coins & fractionals as a chargeable extra say £10 yearly fee would be fair and probaly be made back on buyers first purchase 
    7.  I know its not possible but prices of gold items for sale here on the silverforum here are often lower still, ......well when im selling they are  lol 
    WELL DONE YOU @S2G

    Today I received my World of Dragons display box from Alun, first rate as always, everything I decide to collect now hinges on whether I can get a display box for it so Aluns boxes have made my mind up on a few sets now.  Just waiting on the latest Chinese dragon round now for halfway there.

    I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.
    I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...
    I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 
    I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it
    Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️

    Today I received...two of the 10oz QB Lions. I literally had to sift through hundreds of sold out websites until I found one that had one in stock, after contacting the company and asking if they could send me pictures of the one they had in stock (checking for milk spots), they found they had another one! Bad inventory management turned into a lucky day for me! Excited to add these to my collection.

    This is a belated "today I received", because after a very public hallmarking failure at the Edinburgh Assay Office due to silver contamination, this BYB gold bar was hesitant to leave the pouch 

    However, it eventually mustered the courage to emerge, with the help of these gold eagles which it turns out are 3% silver.  The bar began to realize there is other gold bullion in the world that contains even more silver, but is still widely accepted.

    Now well adjusted, and comfortable with its silver content, the bar has joined the stack and exists in harmony with bullion of all shapes, sizes, and metal content.  

    A huge thank you to @BackyardBullion for doing on awesome job with this bar, as usual!!

    My latest purchase arrived from Heads or Tales, the 30 oz Minotaur.


    I actually purchased this 55 oz Bastet XL a few months ago, but realized I never posted pics back when I received it.


    And a pic of the Bastet XL with the 45 oz Anubis XL.  100 oz of silver between the two. 

    I'm a big fan of the silver statues made by Heads or Tales.  I've purchased 7 or 8 of them so far.  They are pricey on a per oz silver basis, but if you can appreciate them for the artwork rather then the silver bullion value, they are fantastic, and I highly recommend them.
