Abyss

The guy must have been absolutely gutted.
i remember there were a few posts about a guy in Hull i think it was, he was blabbing on Facebook about how much precious metal he had. Where he lived was not unknown and a couple of guys came round to pay him a visit. They roughed him up and got the key to his very visible safe and made off with his treasure. 
So the message is tell no-one you have a stash. If you do have a stash, do not have a very visible safe. That the theives got a king's ransome in gold would guarantee they and others would pay him another visit and another on the off chance they didn't find all the loot or he got some more. 

Wow that is an admission and a half. Is it just length or girth as well?

A side note spoken with someone recently had a single 250 gram gold bar, 4 x 50 gram gold bars that were all stolen in a burglary. Took this individual a long time to accumulate that level of Gold (16 oz) had contents insurance but it did not cover and is completely out of pocket but subsequently had several more breaks ins into his house. Buying physical Gold be very conscientious of where you are going to be storing it for long term safety and security of the metal and your immediate family.

@Roy there was one point in time where started stacking sovereigns as well I believe at the time bought dozens of them from Harrington and Bryne running an offering (limited to 3 per order but free delivery) below spot price back in 2019 paid about £224 but had to opt out of the insane marketing material unless planning converting gas boiler to burn paper…
Lots of member on the forum also participated in the feeding frenzy. I did eventually sell all my sovereigns on the forum and continued to stack exclusively 1 oz Gold coins until the beastly collection had been completed…
Not reached my goal still in my early 40s want to double my stack size but I am in no rush to do so.

Ahoy there me hearties.
With help from me crew mate, @Panda6PackToday I acquired some galleys to help me on my mission for elusive treasures.

Beautiful little bars of love. Thanks Tavex. 
 
Take a look at the quality of the Pamp’s (especially Wonka) versus the Royal Mint. Like night and day!! Pamp hands down. 

Got one of my bucket list coins this week, arrived this morning
1996 Double Sovereign, just 22 of these in PF70UC, the lowest mintage of the Maklouf doubles and the final year (no doubles in 97)
 
Also picked up a couple of proof baby brits that arrived today, was only really after the 2003 but took them both as they were reasonably priced
 
Quite pleased with the condition

Once again. Poor pictures but, an 1820, 1822, 1825, 1826 from COTR, and a 2017 English version of Talking to my Daughter about the Economy from a friend to read to my 5 year old  and cheaper than a set from RM

Feel like I'm becoming a regular on TIR 😁
Thanks @Auronum for a beautiful coin. My mother is chuffed to add it to her gold collection.

That’s a really nice ‘Gillick’…with apologies to @Upsidedown.😁

Silver Marks from @Silverr and the YH from @CallumHSLimited

From @silversnowflake.
Gotta buy something occasionally other than bullion right?
Never seen this design for sale before so had to have it. Possibly the most stunning silver coin i have ever seen 😍 

Some Gary Marks art rounds i got from the US recently. i have got a few others in past years. They just appeal to me. And a proof sovereign care of @AdamDutton
