What for? Half the world voluntarily stashes its gold with them. And they pay for it to be stored in a vault far from home.

 

most of the bars are actually empty egg boxes painted gold

Or am I missing something?

what your missing is when it comes to stacking silver you need to be patient

you mean in a general scenario or personally? Because if the internet ceased, your crypto balance would be the least of your worries. So many crucial services are ran and are maintained across the internet. Imagine not being able to access medical records, locate patients, have air traffic control communicate with each other.

on a personal level, the same as using a bank account to make purchases, you can't log into online banking without a connection, and make transfers, or pay for things. Card machines are wireless and would not connect, you couldn't sell your gold for a fair price on here without internet either, you'd have to go to a pawn shop.

cash is the only thing which would be usable in that scenario, but I don't think its an argument against the usage of crypto, as like I said, we'd have bigger worries.   

then how did people manage before the internet ? did planes not fly/ were medical records not kept/ was there no communications. they have internet blackouts on a regular basis in india, but they still manage. i wonder how 😉 . maybe there preparing for the future

While I haven't bought gold with crypto yet, if I did I would simply buy some crypto then pay for the gold with it. Some bullion dealers take crypto already, and I've seen some forum members take crypto. I would get the crypto from a decentralised exchange like AgoraDesk.

how do you access crypto when the internet goes down ?

"you will own nothing and be happy" in your 15 minuet city.

Another day, Let battle commence.

it will probably be true in about two generations time but not in the current timeline 

The best way is to buy when the spot price is low and dont panick to much about vat if you buy it from the right place 😉

Does anyone know the age of this bar? I can't find it anywhere.

i personally would,nt let the age of the bar be of much importance because it will not make it worth significantly more than any other 1kilo silver bar imo

i used to travel to coininvest frankfurt before they slapped the 20% vat on silver 

i just chuck em in a tupperware sandwich box. costs about a quid each 👍

When purchasing gold trough bank transfer as  @Solachesis    said, dont mention gold or coins in the reference box, just put your name.

Then in the what is the payment for.purchasing box put paying a friend and if asked for buying goods or what not, have you seen the goods, put yes .

Now that my old son depends on the quality of the blank vinyl, the pressing and indeed what you play it back on.

In my opinion a good piece of vinyl played on something such as a Linn Klimax will positively blow the bl**dy doors off. Vinyl in my experience usually wins when comparing with CD at the same price point - with the exception to this rule being sub £500, where a Rotel CD11 Tribute beats anything and everything in my book.

Back on topic to RM bullion I find their 1oz silver coins dreadful (and do not buy them anymore), their 1oz gold hit and miss and - touch wood - have only ever received one new Sovereign I've turned my nose up at.

Imo a track recorded in flac format with a apollo UA ( universal audio ) in a flat position ( no added equalization)will blow the doors off any piece of plastic whirling around

Listen to the Fleetwood Mac Rumours album the 2 lp version played at 45rpm and then tell me cd is better than vinyl😁

Cd is better than vinyl 😄

There is no such thing as inflation in monetary terms. its just a term used to define the collapse of a currency

Thanks for the posts clarifying, Lawrence. I've learned that I need to wear my best frock when I come to your place if I want to sell, and make sure I don't look shifty (Might be difficult. I've been told I've got a wall eye) and to show my passport if I come in drinking alcohol (always a possibility)  

I still want to get my Sovereign Series book autographed if I do visit since you're in it. I like that kind of thing.  

better to have a wall eye rather than mortgage eyes. one fixed and one variable

Anyone who stores personal data has to take adequate security measures.

We at @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer certainly take our systems security seriously, and this includes customer data, which is only kept locally on a different server from our main systems.

We also have "Penetration Tests" performed, similar to those done for "payment processors", even though we are not required to have these, as we are not "payment processors".

I would hope that any major bullion dealer would have similar security, but I would bet against many of the minor coin or bullion dealers having anything approaching a highly secure level.

Another reason for choosing Chards!

😎

if you dont store the data in the first place, then there is zero chance of it ever being leaked.

sorry stack.  just saw this..   never get too long on individual shares.   funds. trackers if you like. the usual 30 per cent USA. 20 UK for us. 15 in Asia. blah blah   if people are still getting 4 per cent for 1 year cash in an inflation crashing environment (which is coming) gold will not outperform for now..

(I did actually get some Gold price stuff in there at the end ! ) 

lol  4% is better then neg 9% or maybe more

Gold still goes south.  Stocks and bond still to attractive.   The bad news in Ukraine is all priced in outside of a tactical nuke or poison gas ..

the recent uptake of bullion by the so called professional classes will run out of steam soon.   The ludicrous premiums on uk gold bullion coins will collapse ..

 

dream on lol

Probably by the same way companies lead us to believe CDs are better than vinyl and digital cameras are better than film. They wrap inferior products in convenience and we buy because they charge a discouragingly higher price to get what we'd actually prefer. That said, I've not had any real howlers when buying bullion. I probably haven't bought enough of it to get stung yet lol.

But cd,s are better than vinyl and digital camera,s are better than film

Yes best to keep buying if something takes your eye , nothing to loose in the long run with gold. I bought some overpriced 2017 sovereigns from the RM in 2017 for £238 each in screw capsules 😄

i bought some 1oz gold krugs in 2004 for £250 😲
