A little pic of what I've managed to pick up thus far, Less my recent ones. Just to try to inspire folk to part with their cherished sovereigns. 

It was a very good question asked 6 months ago. I would say that time has arrived for many on TSF.
1g & 5g bars,  1/4 & 1/10oz gold, 1/4 sovereigns etc are definitely more popular, at the expense of 1oz gold and various proofs.
My smallest is a 1/20th oz but that came with a Panda set!  Don’t blame anyone for steering clear of the larger gold coins!
Can only envy those who a can afford to buy 2oz/5oz gold proofs…….🤢
PS: I forgot 1/40th oz & 1/8th Sovereigns!
 

My 2nd great cousins great uncle was on the titanic.. he was a trumpeter on it playing as it went down. John law hume from Dumfries
This is not euphemism but true story 

That was a myth, the Titanic and Olympic weren’t swapped.

I don’t know what race or faith you are, I’d never assume that, because to assume makes an ass out of you an me.
I’m not Jewish either but the forum should be welcoming to all.
What I was saying is, why do you did you feel the need to say ‘JEWS’ in the way that you did.
Lastly, why on earth would any sane person be chanting for more bombs to pump the gold price?
If you do, you need your head testing.
That was a rhetorical question by the way.

Do you ever sleep?
I only ask in jest of course.
Which is an ironic question. Do you know what the opposite of Irony is?
…….. wrinkly.
Ok. I’ll leave TSF now and close the door behind me.

I would say we will, I can see sovs becoming vastly more popular as well because of it

We've seen a huge downward shift in premiums. Sovereigns only selling below spot or at a push, at spot. Ounces only selling significantly below spot, like 97%. Only things enjoying a premium are 1/10 oz and smaller but these are not flying. Sovereigns still seem to be king as long as they are priced right. 
But as this new level for gold settles in, if it does, these premiums (premia?) are surely not sustainable

Don’t call me Nostradamus but….
The replies to this post were interesting at the time and now given the huge change in gold price.
Are we seeing a shift to ‘smaller gold’?

My god.
Do you have any morals?
Strictly business?
I have no words.

Can we just remind everyone that the forum is welcoming to people of all faiths and races.
I’m not sure why you felt the need to say ‘JEWS’ in capital letters.

The year the Titanic sunk. Minus the 73p.
Which is apt this week.

This question gets asked a lot.  
The hallmark of the forum is a kindness and politeness where people ask a question forum members respond with help rather than sarcastic and unhelpful comments.  
I for one am always happy to answer this question and others!
