A big shout out to @Tattoedamat, who not only keeps this country running, delivering who knows what to who knows where  ...
but also, agrees to a clandestine meet in a service station at stupid o'clock! You sir, are a gentleman, and it was my absolute pleasure to meet you.

Er.....? 🤔

Er.....? 🤔

How much did it go for? 🙄
Or a link please 😊
Found it! 👍

Super nice thread! 👍 Just today was watching as four ungraded ex-Douro Cargo sovs were auctioned off. In order below pics & hammer prices (incl. premium): 1879S £660, 1880S £960, 1881M £720 and 1881M  £750. Would've been a challenge to pick a favourite! 😅
 

 

 

I am convinced that over the long term Gold either will continue to hold my purchasing power or increase it and when economy restarts I will continue to re-evaluate my entire position in all asset classes and re-allocate accordingly and most likely will continue to add more physical Gold oz into the stack. Before the Corona Virus I had technical targets Gold hitting $2,300 dollars but all bets now off the table as we are living in unprecedented times. I don't know the future price of Gold and I have never posted anywhere with an any level of certainly about price or the date when that price target will be achieved. What I do know with absolute certainly is that those individuals who are open minded, willing to think analytically and have the ability to switch between different asset classes while protecting their assets have the highest probability of either maintaining or growing purchasing power both at the end of this crisis and into the future.
@Wonger this is the reason why I have never just dismissed you outright and have admitted technically it is possible for futures Silver price to spike down significantly but would be impossible price trade in the single digits for long.
Making a statement metals will implode with Gold down to $400 and Silver down to $4 then you need to ability to articulate and explain to your audience the thought process and the chain reactions around the world the knock on impacts to both equity/bond markets and how Gold gets to $400 and Silver to $4 and with heighten uncertainty and surging demand and central banks starting QE forever. Without this unfortunately you come over as a mad scientist....

In the process of evaluating my Silver stack and took some photos to share

Grab them before they're gone... the money clip and cufflinks are already gone (was similar price)

Sixgun 🤣 I knew I shouldnt of used that phrase 

Mr Wong is "..going down and going down hard from now!"
It sounds like an excerpt for a mucky magazine. Shocking.

The winner of the lottery will be a man or a woman! Sorry...😂
 

Vanessa Feltz?
She was sat on the table behind us at an awards ceremony once (nothing to do with acting @Roy!) . We were nominated for an award and she'd just bought a table for a night out. Looked as miserable as sin once the food had been and gone!

Reached safely from the royal mint to the UAE! 
I also would like to thank @trp for being so patient and understanding after having issues transferring him money for his 2018 proof Britannia. I couldn't buy it from him back then because of my bank, I felt that i need to thank him here.  
 

Its certainly rocketing today. All this new debt will have to be inflated away. Glad I didn't get round to selling a couple of half sovs last week.

Well this cheered me up a bit among all the doom and gloom in the world at the moment, and it does not take much these days.
This is my British Malaya 5 Cents coin 1945 dated, the photos I took do not do it justice, its a really nice shiny coin but to show the features off I had to angle it a bit away from the light.
These coins were made of 75% silver until 1941 when they started to be made of 50% silver, the coins were made at the Royal Mint in London and the Bombay Mint in India, ones made in India are far rarer and are distinguished by a capital i underneath the word CENTS on the obv.
Production for my coin in 1945 only was a whopping 8.8 million (India mint 4.6 million) , such a lot of coins for what was in essence a colony, I think coin production stopped in 1945, and started up again in 1948 when the coins no longer contained any silver.
 

 

 
 
 
Its tiny and cute, smaller and thinner than a modern 5p 
 

 
 

in GBP £ anyway

The Fed has admitted QE to infinity and unemployment of over 30% - anyone joining up the numbers can see they will have to admit inflation - then the bond market blows up - you can't reasonably have bonds at zero yield and inflation at over 10% - Gold goes much higher then.
This is nothing to do with a virus - the system is coming unhinged and they don't know what the feck to do.
 

A couple of bits from the boss - @arshimo2012

It is not so much that GBP is weak, but that USD is strong. The DXY is up at 99.5. The USD is doing what it tends to do in bad times and is acting as a safe haven. People are selling everything and holding dollars while they wait to see just how badly things turn out. US dollars and US bonds are the most liquid assets in the world, and in a crisis liquidity is king.

Hey Sir @5huggy !
This is the GBP thread 😋

👍
Usually, I only look at dollar spot for reference, gold is traded in USD but it's the GBP price that matters for those who buy and sell in GBP.
When I get paid in USD, it's the opposite.

So a hit in USD but not much of an effect in GBP.
Why is that? 🤔
