Start of my half sov run

Received yesterday from @paolo awesome additions to my mini bar collection!
Top man - Thanks

Gold Jewellery will inevitably become unaffordable for most (especially 22ct in Asia) how much of an impact will this have on the Gold prices, or is it etfs etc pushing up prices?!

The beautiful Una and the Lion

 
I have tried to take new shots today with a better light in order to highlight the quintessence of this beauty
I have a special feeling with this coin  

 

fti my understanding of elliott wave stacks the odds
against a tradable buy physical position in gold for
this winter. the duration of likely moves up in price
in the coming year doesn't give enough room for error
against the risk.
likely cases for both bull and bear gives meagre gains
for holding physical during 2020. a buy maybe in late
2020 looks more likely a better risk to reward ratio.
 
HH

It will continue to fall!!

A Tory win (expected) will surely increase £, stocks and Gold prices will fall further on friday?

I have tended to use silvercoins.ee. I have never had any problems even though they are in Estonia, other than when they ran out of Britannias and communication was a little erratic, but they delivered. It’s the VAT free silver, ie 0% that attracts.
I would advise using something like a Revolut account and paying in Euros. Then you are not clobbered with exchange charges as you convert between currencies at the inter bank rate and Revolut do not charge for the privilege.

I always have a look on HGM, but I never see anything positive about them and the quality of the Sovereigns. 

If anyone thinks that Gold is a bargain here at $1460, they will be amazed at sub $1000! 😀

^^^ I use the iShares ETFs for Gold, Silver and Platinum, held either in my ISA (the Gold ETF) or my SIPP (the Silver and Platinum ETFs)

Happy Thursday. Thanks to @AndrewSL76 and @ilovesilverireallydo

Hey love this where did u get it from?

A plea to you all: sit on your hands.
We stand on the breakout of what will very likely be one of the greatest bull markets of our lifetime. Think about what has happened over the last 10 years: unprecedented level of stimulus into a monetary system that is no longer fit for purpose. This is much worse than the abuse of the system that drove the prior PM bull markets of 1971-1980 and 1999-2011. 
The fallout from this crazy experiment will drive the price of gold by similar factors over the next decade, just as it did during the previous bull markets. Bull markets always run longer and further than nearly all their early adopters think is possible.
PMs will be valued many multiples higher in the years to come. Scoot on over to a "mainstream" investment site like MrMoneyMustache or MoneysavingExpert and gold doesn't even figure on the radar. They are ALL about passive index funds and chasing the stock market. They worship VTSAX. If you are lucky you might find someone holding 20% bonds. They won't even look at gold until it has at least doubled from current levels, and even then they will be some of the earlier adopters. 
There will come a time to sell your PMs and buy something that is better value, but that time is still years away. It will be when everyone thinks it is a good time to be overweight on gold, when Dow/Gold is somewhere between a half to a quarter of its current level.

Just randomly popped up at W shop. Single piece

Little Indian Gold bar. 

Definately! Krugs tend to have lowest premium but usually 2%

I guess we can only go on personal experience and we all have our own standards and expectations to fullfil but I have always had a good experience when purchasing via HGM.  I hasten to add, I am pretty sure I am not their best customer, so not many experiences to share.  
Each time I have seen something that I have been interested in,  I call them up, and they have always being friendly and polite, they answer the telephone promptly and they have always answered my queries fully, for example- checked what dates of the particular variety of coin are in stock, and got hold of the coin from the safe and have provided me a condition report. 
I have also found that they are not averse to entering negotiations on price for 2+ coins- and I struck a great deal on three coins I bought from them just a little while back.  
Also, when something has gone wrong- they have put it right.  Earlier this year they cocked up the pricing on 1oz QB's Lion of England outside of office hours- (I think if you go back several pages it was commented on in this very thread- I think @JunkBond first saw the 'deal').  I can't remember the exact price offered- but it was around £1200 or perhaps less- and they couldn't fulfil the orders.  They cancelled my order, but contacted me by telephone to tell me so, and as a gesture of goodwill they did offer the Lion at what I thought was a still a very reasonable premium.  I declined, but cheekily asked for a reduction in premium on a Victoria YH Shield in lieu of the Lion- they were happy to oblige.  
I think the delivery costs remain the same whatever the value of your order too?     

I got a sov in end from HGM £268 and free collection.  They made most their stock “online only” in the run up so it was excluded 

In your defence, it's now sold out in literally the minute since I posted that 🤣
I got these two from HGM delivered yesterday 😍

HGM are selling 1/4 Brits at 315.00. I have one for sale on here for 300.00. I also have a 1/4oz Eagle for 300.00.....just saying!
 

I'd personally say it's not really worth it if you just want bullion. 
HGM have a few good offers still - bear in mind they get stock literally walking in off the street every day, so do keep an eye on it. I see stock for half sovs, sovs, 1/4 britannia, 1 oz britannia and 20 franc coins all at 1% premium or less. Good luck with your black friday purchase!

The Royal Mint has some deep discounts on certain coins...if you're into proofs...

Got a ‘hunch’ the POG might be heading south.....As soon as there is an end to this Brexit shambles, I can see it tanking down a quick $60 to $80USD.The markets will go RISK ON big time. Plus Trump will undoubtedly announce some sort of settlement with the Chinese any time soon..he has been too quiet on this front lately.
The commercial Banks are still short c300,000 contracts, and they rarely end up on the wrong side of a trade..
When you put all this together (for me anyways) it’s time to jump ship,
For this reason, my trading account is now 80% cash, and I will sit on the fence and observe what happens..always better to buy back in at a higher price than to watch paper profits disappear.
...Just the musings of an amateur trader...other opinions more than welcomed.
