Thanks to @Ryan 

Some more of this stuff

My first actual 1oz gold coin finally after 3 years since I’ve been collecting 🤩

Thanks to @Derv for this beautiful 1/4 krug 

It's hardly a massive inconvenience and I'm sure it will be addressed soon.

Hmmm , me too. Thought my membership was up so I've just renewed it. Maybe it wasn't after all. 
 

Morning, 
Notice some old silver coins in my local antique shop. Wondering if these are good prices? Seems high to me though, the crown 1937 looks in good nick but charging £30 each.
What you think?
Thanks

The only coin I think I'd struggle to let go of is my first ever silver Canadian Voyageur Dollar. The Voyageur Dollar was the first coin I ever loved upon setting eyes on it. I was a child and once I was old enough to start getting into the hobby it was among the first coins I purchased. It doesn't have much value - £11 or £12 with current silver prices - and at this point I have dozens of them but that first silver one is just special. If life pans out the way I've imagined it'll probably be the only bit of silver I have left when my time is up.

My youngest daughter saw the light - she is now investing in the metals.
i picked this one out for her - not bad for a first coin thanks to @kneehow2018

On and to answer the original question. I don't think I'll ever stop buying. I've still got near 30 years until I retire. So I'll buy Ag and Au until then. I'll ease off though if the prices go truly parabolic.

Exactly !!
The less they know the better. 

If things go well for me yes, I will retire earlier. likewise I'm not letting the gov dictate to me either. That wasn't my intended meaning in my writings.
Life has a funny way of dealing the cards sometimes. 
I've always been a manual worker , 20 + years in that game and my body is telling me to ease up.
Hence why one of my strings is into PM's . 
The gov can go suck a nut 🙂

Been a bit selective lately trying to keep the premium stuff when I get it cheap. This poor 1937 half sov has seen better days, but good enough as a filler. 

Nice objective interview covering the silver squeeze.
 
and a Getaway Car.

Not to everyone’s taste but I could not resist picking this up made in 999 silver. Fully functional 

Finally the Eagle has landed or should I say the Rooster. A massive 1 kg Lunar Rooster. Just a really awesome beast of a coin. This is the end of a long on/off journey covering 3 years and completes the final piece of the whole series of plain silver 2005 Perth Mint Lunar Roosters. 1 kilo, 1/2 kilo, 10 oz, 5 oz, 2oz, 1 oz and 1/2 oz and and just over 2 kilos in weight. 
Time to start saving for the gold set now 😀



 

A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus  

Decline anything they try to sell you. Much like Westminster Collection, CPM Coins and no doubt others out there Harrington and Byrne make their money charging unsuspecting people absolutely rediculous premiums for stuff that will never be worth what they're selling them for. They all throw out decent offers like this every now and then but its their version of fishing...  dangle the cheap bullion in the hopes of catching a much bigger, much more profitable sale. Buy the bullion but walk away from anything else.

Finally bagged a bat. No 'rona here ;). 1st of a series? Does it rival Spiderman hmm
 

I put a folded $10 inside the flip, worked last time 😂

Finite , dense , malleable , conductive + all they other good uses....
... more importantly for me.... It's lovely and gold  😊

Enlighten me . I think I may have heard a rumbling about a sunspot but nothing on the occult, sorry climate .
I'm not Mr current affairs of late 

I often think the same about coins, legally we are not allowed to change the state of them (British ones at least). We buy coins based upon the metal content and spot price, yet we cannot use the metal for anything else other than being a coin. That gold just has a life of changing hands.
Throughout history nations have waged war on each other over it. It's the world's currency
