@Foster88 I love you man but stop being so sensitive.
So, it's ok to poke fun at the Irish but not homosexuals?

Point taken on board.
I’m not sure I’d be capable of poking fun at the Irish (nor would I want to) when half my family are Irish.
I didn’t mean any offence to anyone Irish.

I like that! Long may it reign 😊
So £25 pp is a bargain?

They are selling at that here 😊

Wassat for those of us who are not rocket surgeons?

It looks like the market has decided on £25/oz plus post for Brits.

I didn't know this property? Please save me looking it up 😊

As most here I have a bit of silver. To be totally honest I don't know why, but I like to keep in-between 12/1 and 8/1 silver to gold, I think someone mentioned that coming out of the ground there is 8 times more silver to gold and it's stuck in my mind. My gold is in the form of coins and mostly sovereigns and the silver I have is mostly in the form of bars. I do prefer the kilo bars to the ounce coins though. The issue I have with silver is the premiums and the VAT. I do try to keep an eye on the average cost for both gold and silver.
As some interesting metrics, Currently I'm at £1,627.96 oz on my gold and £20.08 oz on the silver. Also whilst I have 9.58 times more silver weight than gold, my gold value is 8.92 times more at spot prices than the silver.
I just think silver as an industrial metal is too useful for industry to be allowed to get too pricey as an investment metal. Gold on the other hand as a tier 1 asset I think is the one to stack.

I really love silver and I believe in its potential. I have been attracted from beginning, my first piece of silver ever bought was a teaspoon from a charity shop. Then few high premium ounces (yes, beginner's mistake). I have started collecting and stacking for few years, I have changed in time my stacking habits, until I've been happy with the balance I've found, to satisfy my appetite without destroying my budget. 
Now, in my stack I have gold and silver in various shapes and purities, trying to keep approximately the same value, so ratio 1:1 gold vs silver.
Because everything is going to my daughters and my granddaughter, I am happy. The precious metals I am buying and keeping will not offer me a retirement in Tenerife, but will offer me a peace of mind about a financial insurance for my children and grandchildren.
 

I got into a spot of 'light' stacking just as a hobby really - I liked the look and feel of the coins and it was the coronation year with all the 'special' Brits and Sovereigns and suchlike. Then I started watching more of the podcasts - to be honest the American ones with the 'prepper' slant  made me laugh, these folks are seriously nuts, but most of the Brits are fairly sober minded with 'collectible' enthusiasm mixed in. Then I watched one too many CobraStackers and his collectible enthusiasm started to rub off - next thing I know I'm up to my arse in Germania and Perth mint limited strikes, I swear I now dream of shooting freaking Kookaburras with an F35! But as for getting rich, it's never going to happen, I'm planning on divying my collection amongst an expanding number of grand kids so it'll be their headache at the end of the day. I just enjoy the whole experience as a somewhat expensive hobby. Maybe i should have stuck to gardening but there's just not the same buzz in getting your hands on a limited edition Duchy of Cornwall watering can.
