i subscribe to the Sirius Report - London Paul who people may have heard on Rogue Money in the past.
He was saying that the recent 30 year Treasury auction was a disaster. That primary dealers had to take a third of the bond and are already up to their eyeballs with Treasuries as it is. In an attempt to raise liquidity they were selling paper gold - hence some of the recent falls in gold (only to bounce back - not good for the shorts). He said he had also heard rumours of pump and dump antics in the BTC market to raise liquidity. 
This might explain the recent divergence in the gold and silver prices. Gold is a big market to target and raise liquidity - silver is relatively tiny so not such a good market for these USD generative antics. Suggest desperate times if these actors are targeting BTC. 

Always nice to buy from the Forum, better still to trade coins with each other and best of all is doing the above face to face. Nice meeting up with you today@1817SovereignCollector. 
 

This is all about sterling.
$1.24 and 1.11EUR... GBP is a piece of used toilet paper.
I get paid in GBP.. I'm actually furious that pound is my pocket is quickly becoming a worthless piece of bad much more than I am relieved to be holding some non-sterling denominated assets.
 

Satisfying my appetite for Libertads further, and doing my spreadsheet no favours at all, I managed to pick these little beauties up.  
The 1992 & ‘94 sets are toning nicely in true ‘treasure coin’ fashion.
It’s going to be an effort getting off my backside to do any jobs my wife has left me to do this afternoon- even the potential wrath of an angry women might not prevent me squandering the remainder of the afternoon ogling them. 

Alerted that HGM have the 1 oz Gold QB Lion back in stock. Would not call it a deal as such but I setup the alert just in case the put it back into stock by mistake for under £1200....

Three of my biggest weaknesses all on the same day - gold proof Britannia, silver proof £2 and Norfeds.

They are beautiful

Some very nice thalers and silver cards for me today...
 

This morning I completed my last shift with my current employer, and my last night shift ever!  Start my new job Wednesday.  It was definitely time to move on, my colleagues know me far too well and what I like and bought me some wonderful parting gifts- going to get my nose into those Spink books right away.
 

A lovely 10 Oz hunk of silver from @ATL85 (been eying these up for a while and it's even better in the flesh) and a nice little gold elephant from @morezone.

The 1917 Candian sovereign came back from grading by PCGS. Very happy with the result. 

My stack of Kooks. 1kg & 10oz.


 
 

The full stack since reaching the target of 5oz

Gold
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructible!

Stack finally moved to deposit box

I need some more gold I think...and maybe some more diversity🤔

2017: My Indian Precious Metals Stack when I was 20 Years Old. Platinum + Silver + Gold!

 
2018: A year later...

 
My so called "Treasure Chest"  

PS: If anyone's interested in taking a look at them up close then head over to my YouTube channel, goodness in HD  

Updated stack. One 1/10 gold coin is missing. I thought I lost it meanwhile it was stuck to the underside of my sunshine mint bar😋

Not much activity in this thread so thought I'd get things going again. I hope some long time members could post up their stacks as well 🙂
I collect only premiuim/date runs of Silver, and Gold Sovereigns (Proof & bullion).

Keep getting bits of gold - this is c/o @ilovesilverireallydo 

Received some quite beautiful coins...An elegant 1908 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle BU bought as a random pick up.

Also an awesome lucky dip 2011 Gold Sovereign BU...looks absolutely near flawless for a MS.

Lastly, a couple 2019 South Africa 1 oz Silver Big Five Elephant BU a brilliant new release from The South African Mints latest series.

Stunning result, and from the same set with consecutive numbers is a real plus imho. Many people make up sets from various coins (me included) as you cant always get the full set to grade perfect, but its nice when it does. I have a 2012, 4 coin set, with consecutive numbers, but yours is a license to print money pretty much haha.

Just got my military set back by PCGS, very happy every coin got a 70 grade. This set may not be as popular as the culture set which has Kew Gardens but it is equally stunning.

 
For both sets, I've made a showcase here (one of the coin is yet to be photographed):

Received these little gems today, not a bad grading result from the same set! Would consider a straight trade for an Aston Martin...

Got these in the post today within less than a day of buying them from @Robjw
