I hope this link works, talks about the "1966 gold confiscation"  I remember hearing Mr Chard talk about it on one of BYB  videos.

Did CGT previously exist in the UK on the sale of sovs, and if so, when did this end?

There is no CGT on UK mintted coins.. It would be worth noting that there may be new forms of taxation in the future, just saying if the government think there is money in it they may introduce it. The government is more likely to tax your gold than confiscate it.

it already exists, if you choose to sell on eBay and take payment through PayPal  😆😁🤣

or sell to a pawn shop in the UK

Future confiscation won't happen. That's too old school antisocial brute force. It will be capital gains and wealth taxes. While the latter would be helped with anonymity, the former capital gains - should you want to sell to someone legitimate - would be your undoing, because if you can't prove purchase price then you'll get capital gains tax forced on the whole.

I would agree with the above, they are more likely to tax you upon sale, governments are masters of introducing forms of taxation to keep the average person under the thumb. Just imagine a 20% or 30% tax introduced on the final selling price. 

I can't believe how much things have moved, could be a small correction tomorrow but I hope things continue in this manner. 

Although this can be disappointing, they are bullion coins. Milk spots seem to be more prevalent these days, I think it just goes with the territory. 

A correction and a bit of profit taking, I think it will slowly start to climb again, there more dramas on the world stage to come.

WTF happened to the silver price, down 70p today

Just a bit of a correction markets reacting to UK parliament and hopefully a US - China trade deal being worked on.

I'm curious to know are my fellow stackers still purchasing silver at the current rate? I'm limiting my silver purchases for now only really picking out items that I really like to add for my collection.

For me yes, but only my small regular purchases every month or two. I have not bought any gold this year.i will probably continue to buy silver  as long as the spot does not go over £17  per once. At this point I will hold and watch.

The sovereigns, not the greatest picture.

Some proof halfs

Went through a stage of collecting fractional gold a few years ago

My oldest sovereign ( sorry about the picture quality)

,got mine yesterday
