I thought gold would drop as people closed out positions to take profit as they close the March books (traders, banks). However the opposite seems to be true.
At a macro level, I personally have seen “easy money” as a problem since the early 2000’s when a colleague got a balance transfer of 10k for almost zero interest. Things only got worse during the financial crash and with politicians unable to stop spending and printing money. Nothing goes up or down in a straight line but I think gold is (in its own time) adjusting to major issues with paper currencies and economies.
It’s hard to predict price movements day to day and week to week but long term trends when governments are debasing paper year on year is easier.

Bought a fake 1887 half sovereign last week from a friendly jeweller. Only realised it was when I got round to looking at it yesterday and it weighed in at 3.501g. Bloody good detail for a fake, even had a bit of lustre! Took it back today and it tested in at 14k. He felt awful about selling it to me and swapped it out for an 1843 so not all bad 🙂
That’s dreadful even for a jeweller

Sorry for not posting sooner. What you have is a normal legend 1872 half sovereign with a die number of 103, this means the nose of Victoria points to letter O in Victoria and the reverse has 147 denticles which was the norm from 1872 to 1880. There also exists a quite different 1872 half sovereign with the repositioned legend which also bears the same die number 103 but comes from completely different dies, this has an obverse where the nose of Victoria points to T, and a reverse that has far fewer denticles 122. One of the RL coins was recently sold at Canterbury Auction Galleries. but yours is the first NL coin I have seen so far with the 103. With the 105 die number, again there are two versions of the same coin, RL and NL versions. which use the same die number but are come from different dies.
The Royal Mint report for 1872 shows that 402 reverse dies where used, as of today I have only recorded approximately just over half this number.

I don’t know, but this seller has sold quite a few recently, including a half for a very good price.

Agreed. 8.1g - his scales must be off.

There's still gold to buy and gold to sell. Margin to be made, deals to be done.
The gold is still gold and didn't change when sovs were £200 the medium of exchange in between is what has changed
If you see multi trillion debts across every western countries being paid off or getting smaller any time soon sell your shiny.
If not, HODL your gold and enjoy the scenery along the gold journey as we keep moving to higher ground and to better golden views
Beautifully written.

Could be made outside of the U.K. good chance it is 9ct.
If you are selling it might be best to “free” the Sovs and sell them and the chain separately.

I saw a post earlier that “analysts are puzzled” by golds price rise and strength.
They really must be complete spunktrumpets (is that allowed?) to be puzzled.

I don’t have a view of volumes traded but low volumes may be playing a part in the price?

Just out of curiosity, and honestly because I don't actually know. What is the official gold price tracker, because different sites have the price slightly different.
I normally use the Royal Mint website for my gold price indicator but is that the most accurate one 🤔
Answers on a post card!
I don’t use the RM.
The ticker on the TSF is good but for a basket of investments I use the trading view app on my iPhone which has a live feed for free.
