Like the man in Ukraine who had his home destroyed and the news item reported he had lost everything - except for some gold coins he had buried in the garden.

Airhead replied to BackyardBullion's topic in Silver
Please place me on the waiting list for one bar, as I only have 1oz SF bars I have not owned a 100g bar. -

Strategy, I don't like Silver, am I wrong?
Airhead replied to LemmyMcGregor's topic in General Precious Metals
Silver is only the second best conductor of heat, the best conductor of heat is, surprisingly enough, diamond. Due to it being compressed carbon I suppose. -
1 oz Silver Forum Bars (2022) - Officially Released!
Airhead replied to BackyardBullion's topic in Silver
May I have the same number as the last few years 105 Many Thanks -
Dubai or Shanghai as London and New York are closed to Ivan at this time. Gordon Brown sold half our reserves and the price dipped, although he did tell everyone before the event.
-
Taking a bit of a contrarian position, if Russia starts to unload some of its gold reserves, as its sovereign wealth fund has been seized by the west, this could depress the price somewhat, perhaps, maybe. Not sure what effect a few tons of bullion would do to the price, but as they say, buy the dips.

Anything over 300 years old and made of precious metal is deemed to be treasure and the crown is entitled to first dibs. Although usually the finder does not loose out if the find is reported. https://www.gov.uk/treasure

Let the fun begin.

Seems quite good although trawling though as many dealers as you can sometimes show up good deals. The best place to buy Sovereigns is right here on the forum, although you would need to upgrade your membership to see listings as soon as they are posted.
-
In that case forget Silver and buy gold. Either 1oz Britannias, low margin, or bullion Sovereigns, very liquid.
-
But I would not think about silver at the moment in any shape or form unless as a collector you had a hankering for a particular numismatic dainty.
-
With Bairds they will guarantee to buy anything in your allocated holding.
-
Because you do not take physical possession, it just sits in thier vault.
-
There is a dealer directory section of the forum. Living in Essex, the cheapest option would be Bairds for Kilo bars, works out at £19.38 an ounce but you have to add vat, unless you opt for storage.

1865, Birmingham Assay, 18 Caret. H&S is the maker, haven’t a clue.

Gold Britannia - all you require to find out about the 1oz Gold Coin
Airhead replied to goldbritania's topic in Gold
Very informative thank you. One thing I would mention in a friendly way, if your location is your actual address you might want to change it to be a little less geographically specific, for obvious reasons. -
With all the hype and venality that accompanies RM releases I would prefer to save my money and buy a young head Victoria shield back. The quality of modern sovereigns are not the same as earlier ones IMO.
-
Just a quick update, Atkinsons were very helpful and will swap the coin. Marvellous service.
-
Sorry if I am crashing the topic, but after examining my own Completer seems to have a bit of a nasty scratch also. In the picture it is between the O and the Z. Not a very good picture sorry. I purchased it from Atkinsons and was wondering if it is worth contacting them or is it just something one has to just put up with as it is a bullion coin.
-
Whilst I would not say I am an expert, as far as I know if it is from the London mint then there will not be a mint mark. Only those minted in the (as then) colonies will have mint marks. Someone will be along soon to give a definitive answer, but it looks ok to me.
