Just received this morning from Chard in Blackpool.. it's a lovely coin, I'm very impressed. I think I'll get all my proof coins from them in the future. Still looks brand new as it did in 2016, flawless and ready to be sent for grading.
 

Came yesterday but only just collected from the post office. Some lovley little half sovs. Thanks @sg86

Couple nice silver bits have arrived through the door here. A 2017 2oz Canada 150 Iconic Maple silver proof coin and a 1997 silver 1oz maple. Happy to have finally added the 97 maple to the collection at a price I was happy to pay.

Another bit of gold to add to the other bits. Thanks @Guybrush

Lovely coin, good luck with the grading.. I haven't used Chards but like the information on their websites. Karl.

I would take another 20% decline if we actually started to produce British goods and it benefited the nation, I can carry the pain if needed for the good of the future (my kids). The trouble is we are majority import and don't have much to export, so will it really make us better off, or will it just continue to cripple the little people like myself? Remember that would be a 40% decline in sterling in what 4 years? Below official inflation payrises are the norm for the majority (offical being 2%, reality including housing/rent is 7%) for years now. Socialism starts to look attractive in such conditions.

London Paul was saying that Boris had indicated he wanted to drop the value of Sterling by 20% against the EUR and USD to improve the price of British goods. Trump has talked about dropping the value of the USD - so we look like we are going to enter a currency war with everyone racing to zero.

Arrived today with a gift too- Cheers @Nick1368. I’m sure that Fox will enjoy his treats! 

Bought a rather large stash of unsorted coins. To my surprise this was in there. I have always seen them on eBay and other places, never one in real life. Looks cool. 

The long term decline is about much more than Brexit. I remember the GBP over $2 and over 1.7Eur. 
This is about continual mismanagement of our economy. We are anti-business and anti-entrepreneurial while promoting too much investment in unproductive housing, all of which has made us an expensive, high tax, and unproductive economy. Where are our success stories? The FTSE100 is still dominated by the same tired old firms that were knocking aroun 10-20 years ago. It is not surprise that as other countries overtake us or pull even further ahead their currencies become more highly valued relative to our own

Unfortunately when there are only one or two examples of a coin you are after you have to get it when it appears so the exchange rate is killing me as I pretty much buy all my coins in Europe or the US - haven't bought an 'old' coin from a UK auction in years! At the moment I am concentrating on the minor denominations as they are cheaper (actually much more difficult to find anyway) than the crowns or gold although I am seriously considering having to stop buying things completely due to the exchange rate  Hopefully when Brexit goes through the £ will rise again due to the 'uncertainty' disappearing.

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.
