Not quite the retirement I had in mind - I was hoping to fuse with copious amounts of alcohol as I slid lazily into old fartdom. 

Look at the bright side - if there is a nuclear war, have your gold and silver near you. When atomic bombs explode, we will fuse with our stash and become one.
Marvelous.

Samson doctrine has always been the way it'd go. 
This would, however, massively increase gold's value. 

Someone should get over the the £1M BTC thread and warn them!  

Sometimes offence is the best defence.

Jordan has allegedly announced closing its air space tonight. Not that I'd consider the MSM trustworthy on this or anything much for that matter.

👍🏻 a no.1 backwards 

Second I in BRIT

And where would gold be with that? 

just sorted supper out 

£1925, I got coins in my basket now, as soon as it dips below £1500 I'm pulling the trigger.

Now £480 for a bog standard 2024 sov.....

And there it is $2400

£1919.90 buy the dip

I just had a little look about - going off their web sites. Price for "1oz gold Britannia" SPOT £1918.32
BBP paying 1841.08 = 96% ATK paying 1855.36 = 96.7% HGM paying 1803.12 = 94% ATS paying 1859.81 = 96.95% Chards paying 1879.10 = 97.95%

All the dealers offer their current pricing online. I am just being lazy and trying to see if there was a single place for this information. If I remember correctly, i think @Darr3nG developed the comparrison for buying from dealers....I have a feeling that Lawrence Chard even talked to Darren during that development.......if my memory is working!!
@Darr3nG is this something that is possible? Comparrison for prices offered by dealers for sovereigns, perhaps?

I'm just thinking, looking at the six month gold chart, we are +25% up for the sake of super simple maths 
Those of us here with PF70 gold in plastic coffins
If you were holding a £1000 coin six months ago, is it right it is worth to £1250 ?
or is the price about the same ??
A lot of our gold proof pieces we are still not close to break even at  ie buying a new 1oz gold proof from RM is still £2770
With this +25% increase to spot for common gold/circulated sovereigns, could this be a good time to pick up now under valued PF70s ?
Sorry if this is a bit rambling and without focus but hopefully see my point ?
Any opinions ??

 

someone was asking about short/long ratio of retail traders on gold, see below:
i did check and 3 different platforms/brokers have more traders betting short than long

Has anyone got an overview of what the dealers are paying per sovereign at the moment? I have a contact in Hatton Garden that will always pay spot. When he is not buying there is an alternative that always offers 97%. Either way, that's pretty good at the moment considering the prices a week ago. Not sure about the others (ATS, HGM, Bairds etc.) Is there a 'price' comparison website for what they pay??

Which one, change too often and regularly deliver mail to the wrong houses. Days of when you knew your local bobby and postman are gone, excepting perhaps in villages. I believe nowadays they're now timed at a walking (jogging) speed of 'productivity' so I guess if they're running behind schedule dumping a batch through one letterbox to leave it to the residents to deliver to each other is a common means for them to 'catch-up'.
