My Indian sovereign arrived today.

It's just climbing and climbing.  Not far off £900 now.  

' They reckon sterling could fall 15-20 percent against the dollar towards the lows of the mid-1980s, meaning it would move towards parity with the euro. '
 
there are two parties to every trade, I don't see how
the euro would not lose out on every £ - euro trade
that is lost.

COULD - the key word - COULD
So the the flip side, that headline could be be read as 
HSBC : Brexit might not knock 20% off sterling

I really like these and like that they are sealed, yet I'm so tempted to take one out... just to check it out.
Might open one later...

a big move coming up, there is actually a decent chance
that the swing is up.

My priority was the 1/10th 2008 Brit but seeing as I was paying postage anyway, thought I'd pick up a 2010 and 2 X 2014 1/10th Libs.  I will be opening up the Brit so I can store it with the others although it is a shame to have to break open the Mint packaging.

There'll be a positive outcome from this weekends EU summit (or at least it will be trumpetted as such) so expect sharp moves in GBP and possibly gold. it certainly won't be a weekend where you want outstanding forex positions; could well be gaps all over the place.

You don't want to loose of these when you are out and about... or swallowed up by ATM!

Yeah. I have been looking into that too and googled: "Ban on cash", this week. I can see a Forbes article on google published in May 2015 however I don't have a Forbes subscription).

Something a bit different.
A massive mintage of 10 coins, each one consisting of 1/2 oz 999 silver.
The bonus is out of the 10, 9 are loaded with 0.05 bitcoin worth about £15 at current prices but 1 coin is loaded with 2 bitcoin worth nearly £600.
To check you need to peel the tamper proof hologram and redeem a private key underneath.  If you dont win it ups the value of the remaining coins as the odds of winning improve
I also have the first one minted so numbered #1 S Delux (stock pic below showing no #5)
