    1/10th Brit Pros= Cheaper than Half a Sov.
    1/10th Brit Cons= It's not Half a Sov.
    Half Sov Pros= It's not a 1/10th Brit.

    Haha they really can’t make their mind up! Since I posted that it’s now lost the banner entirely and gone back to “no longer available” 🤷‍♂️
    They’ve probably still got thousands in stock 🤣

    1862 "US Civil War" gold dollar. Tiny coin, 15mm and 1.67g. Fascinating time in US history, mid 1800's, and nice to own a little part of it....

    Here's pretty much my full stack as it currently stands.  Mostly gold, but with 30 oz of silver and 2 oz of platinum.
    No more additions for me now until next year, when I aim to finish of the Queen's Beasts in 1/4 oz and 1 oz gold bullion and add a 2020 sovereign.  Anything else will be an impulse or value buy!

    I could see people being uncomfortable with being photographed on their front door step to be fair.
     
    Personally I think a unique code should be generated for signed mail and electronically sent to the recipient either via SMS or email. OTP services are a dime a dozen, so all this really requires is a bit of integration and the collection of one additional item of information about the recipient. 
     
    That code isn’t known to the postman and is unique to the individual parcel. That code gets entered on the device we typically sign today, as the recipients unique e-signature. If the code is wrong, the parcel isn’t delivered. It’s pretty much what we’re used to doing for banking already. If the recipient gives the code to a family member, friend, neighbour etc, that’s fine, but that’s at their own risk. 
     
    The only downside I see to a solution like this would be the additional time to deliver the package. People would inevitably not be ready with the code, so it would maybe add 30 seconds on average to the drop off time on signed mail. That would add up when you consider the amount of signed mail that must be delivered daily.

    Got the silver one from RM just now. Finally! 😁
    £170 with the discount. Think it was the only one as back out of stock. Shows it’s worth checking daily though. 
    Now I’ve got to decide what I bought this random silver coin for, I blame the silver forum!! 😂

    Loitering on the RM site paid off! I think I'll stick mine in the display cabinet so I can enjoy it. If it gets nicked my insurance will cover getting a new one, unlike the gold....

    Good advice. 

    Although I only usually buy gold so including this coin I’ll have precisely two ounces of silver, so the average is looking like £85/oz 😆

    I don't really understand the "Signed for" concept. Anyone can put a squiggle in a box. It doesn't prove an item reached it's intended recipient at all.
