I got one from bpb for £310 posted today then had 2 referrals so x2 1oz silver, so a good condition sov for effectively £260!

Just picked up one full sov earlier for £292 from Chards, happy days. Hope this downward trend carries on for a few weeks/months.

Is that their grade c ones?

When gold was at its peak recently what sort of price were the average  sovs being sold for?

I’m trying to find some historical price charts for sovs but can’t find any.

Cheers

Bullion were around 340-350 a few months back

Hgm quality is poor rather pay extra few £ and go for sharps pixley

Not exactly a deal as the spot price has gone down, but with free postage & an in stock product I thought £324 was quite good for a new 2021 sovereign. 
Has anyone used ATS before - reviews looked good. Bought 2 coins today and will buy some more if the price drops further on Monday. 

I was going to use Chards but with a 2 week wait time I was put off a bit. its within 7 days with ATS.

Not sure whats happened here as just finished work after getting up this morning at 4.30am and im shattered.

To clear things up i meant it was a disgusting listing by someone clearly out to take advantage of some poor soul.

I have nothing to do with the listing and would never sink that low.

 

Your sarcasm was obvious to me!!

If I were bullish on platinum then an etf or miner seems like a much better way to go about it

Liquid, no vat paid, no tax on gains in an isa 

Not as fulfilling as holding but as an investment it makes a lot more sense 

 

 

If you dont hold it you dont own it

Sorry to advise but these tests are a total waste of time and may be giving you false security.

Thanks, i realise counterfeits could easily pass these tests.  I took it to a local dealer he looked at it with his eye glass and said it looked real, so i am confident overall, just the price was too good to be true hence my only suspicion!  I will have to get some acid for the future And do the scratch test £25 from amazon

Really, did you expected a coin (off any metal)  to float 🧐

It said online a fake Gold coin will slowly fall/hover at the bottom!

Yeah, but you have to be quick as soon as you blink they are gone! so no time to be typing with one finger sharing the info, you have to keep checking the dealers sites, good luck!

From which site?

Sovs at 1% over spot, or perhaps even under spot when you bought it? On a dealers website, on a day when the price has crashed?

I find it hard to believe but congratulations on a very good buy if you did manage it.

very possible i got some for 318 few weeks back when price was much higher

They may not even know, could be their website security has detected it and blocked automatically. I've never contacted them directly. 

Also, some vendors don't want their websites scraped and prices compared. 

What happened to your comparison?

I assume you've weighed and measured it too?

I think that year had the larger diameter than the following years

Theres x2 2013 coins , just a slight difference in weight, does this sound ok?

A 1oz 2013 brit

Thanks! I did the water test it went straight down, i used a normal small fridge magnet and couldnt feel any pull and i used white vinegar and soaked the coin for 15min..no obvious discolouring, a slight mark but think this was already there.  

Hi

i am being offered Gold at prices slightly too good to be true, what is the best way to test it is genuine?

Is the magnet and dropping it in water test enough?  Or do i need to buy some acid? 

thanks

Its hard to find coins for sale iv been looking for a while

Theres no way bpb and atkinson have sold out, they simply dont want to sell at these lower prices in anticipation of large spikes next week, even silvertrader took his site down.  When ordering from EU its not just vat but delivery and courier fees, better to buy from the fb groups or even ebay is cheaper than EU.  

What if someone sends coins in a parcel and marks it as a low value gift, how would customs know the value? 

Btc and others are definitely taking cash from PM’s, so much positivity on bitcoin recently how funds are buying and mainstream is no longer talking of btc as being a big scam

can see gold dropping another 5-10% during January which makes a good entry point

What is the item value isnt marked?

also why are Silver packages from canada vat free if below a certain weight?

I’m sure most people that go to Costco have seen the gold bars but was in today (not been in a while) and noticed they are selling sovereigns now as well 

Decent price for a retailer

Are Hatton garden metals reliable? 

Seems a good deal on the eagles? 

Yes they are reliable but the quality of Coins is sometimes poor.  If buying for weight shouldnt matter

£339 on Harrington and Byrne, price guaranteed for 7 days which is good too

H+B used to be much cheaper than others, but now they are in line with Chard etc.  Personally I would only buy from them if it was £20 cheaper due to the junk mail they send

money is leaving gold to go back into equities, good job figures on Friday and no negative news to bring the market down, suggests Gold may continue to fall down next few weeks.  I think it will easily hit 1.2k then Q4 when the real unemployment comes to light will go up again

whats the postage cost from coin invest, must be at least 10£?
