Roy

I miss it too, but keep Chards page open for quick reference 👍

Thank you Roy👍🙂

I had not realised that the Royal Mint had been around for so long.

Repost of my Geiger collection, minus the 1oz Gold which is elsewhere . I’ll try & retrieve it & take a more creative picture of them all. 
thanks to all who sold me pieces. 
clive 

1kg according to Govt Customs. Investment Gold only.
I think I can get some hand delivered if I can get the ball rolling before I’m due to meet up on the 21st. All the Geiger sites do not have the option to buy online for the U.K.,but every obscure country around the world!
Theres also a main site in Stuttgart- lots of pleasure there. 
I’ll let you know….

Yes @Roy but not all places do over the counter retail. I was in Switzerland with a plan to buy some Combibars but couldn’t happen. Had to be pre ordered and couldn’t be delivered to a hotel in Switzerland …. Damn… thwarted 
Hope I can find somewhere to help with the awkward ones, the Pt & the Pd

One suggestion I have to all regular TSF members:  if you take a trip every now and again to a bullion dealer or coin fair sometimes one will engage in conversation with others; be it customers or even staff members. This can lead to small chat and if the opportunity presents itself you can drop the silver forum name. I've done it before in the past. Regardless if they end up buying anything on the forum - it is still a method of exposure. Every little helps.

Yep, those calculations are spot on

Thanks for that @Darr3nG, much appreciated 👍

Can't really improve on this, even if I paid for tuition..

If the set weights are the same, then yes...
Example:
10g x 24ct = 10g AGW
10g x 9ct = 3.75g AGW
Melted together = 20g Alloy with 13.75g AGW (68.75% or 16.5ct)

Quick question,  I hope!
If you were to melt a set weight of 9ct gold with a set weight of 24ct gold, would it simply be a mathematical equation?
i.e. 24 + 9 ÷ 2 =  16.5ct
Basic answers please, it was a long time ago I did an O level in maths 😊 
T.I.A.

Checking sales of coins on eBay you often find those that start at a low initial price say £1 tend to attract many more bids and very often sell at higher prices than identical coins starting say at £20.
The risk of course is that on the day you might on rare occasions be unlucky but if you want £35 for a coin you are more likely to get this listing at £1 than £20 assuming the average price ( check sold history ) for that specific coin is £35.  Fees will take away around 13% but if you get a seller offer that could be reduced to £1 or 2.5% approx.

Selling through @BackyardBullion seems a good option for you as he has an excellent reputation and considering the time involved in processing an order his fee is low.
Most forum members tend to be pretty clued up on prices and are always seeking good deals.
It is frustrating when you cannot get the price you believe something is worth or compared to what you once paid for it.
Often some sellers on eBay ( coin shop style ) often get much higher prices than average Jo probably due to trust and a degree of comfort buying from them.
I believe many people would pay a bit more buying from @BackyardBullion knowing he is trustworthy rather than risking buying from a total unknown seller.
Hope this helps.
 

I have no idea what will happen next week or even next quarter.  
But…
It is my view that gold remains a long term buy particularly if you buy regularly.  

The great Greek philosopher "Testi-cleese" said if inflation is 10% that means everything costs 10% more, but in reality it is just the value of your denarius aureus that has dropped.
Therefore gold, silver will not rise in value but will increase in numerical quanta because your dinari has been devalued.
Some might argue that this sounds like a "load of bollocks".
