    sixgun got a reaction from Earthmetal in Old and Foreign Coins - A big list   
    The point i was making is the silver coins up to and including 1919 were 925 silver.
    After 1919, then up to and including 1946 they were 50% silver. Because of the folly of WWII the country went bankrupt so after that the silver coins are cupronickel.
    So for example this coin is 50% silver.
    Three Pence British Pound 1936 925 Silver 1 You have these sixpences as 925 silver - they are cupronickel - most member will know this but i mention this to avoid anyone being confused.
    Six Pence British Pound 1950 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1954 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1955 925 Silver 2 Six Pence British Pound 1956 925 Silver 2 Six Pence British Pound 1958 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1960 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1961 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1962 925 Silver 2 Six Pence British Pound 1963 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1964 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1965 925 Silver 1 Six Pence British Pound 1967 925 Silver 3

    You might well find that coins on the forum are better value. Really you need a premium membership to see the coins as soon as they are posted for sale. So really you need to be buying a decent amount to make it worthwhile. In general buying sovereigns in the UK is the safest bet - as long as you don't buy on ebay. There are so many con merchants on there - maybe even people who are innocently selling fake coins. Stick to reputable dealers like Chards / Atkinsons or fellow members of the forum.

    What about corned beef?

    In the right corner, a whole ounce of Silver bought for £26.90.
    In the left corner, 4.42 kilos of corned beef bought for 25.87.

    I believe that this is correct. Silver has been removed from circulation in the 40s, folks don't really know what it's worth any more, more so, fair play giving someone 1oz of Silver, will they have change? And regardless, will they want it? In a terrible hit the fan scenario is likely that survival items will be more important than a D&D c/s/g scenario, as a prepper would is more important is not even to stack food, but the knowledge on how to produce more, in such a scenario a couple of potatoes would be worth more than any silver.

    This is a valid point and has crossed my mind quite a few times.
    The classic prepper imagines they will be able to buy stuff with old circulation silver coins. Do we really imagine this will work? Well it won't work in most shops - it will be with private individuals. The classic prepper imagines he will be able to swap his silver coin with a local farmer for a few dozen eggs and a sheep. Do we really think this will work?
    i am a mega silver stacker (until it was all lost in a tragic boating accident) - but in reality am i wasting my time? Fiat is collapsing - so i don't want to swap into fiat - so what am i going to swap into?
    What am i going to do with my kilo and 100oz bars?
    What am i going to do with my collector coins and bars?
    Perhaps i would be better buying pouches of rolling tobacco, whiskey, tins of beans, tampons, toothpaste, soap etc etc. i mean if i collected 10 000 Tampax i wouldn't be tempted to use them myself.

    i became a premium member on the Silver Forum on 3rd February 2016. This is my own reference point - i took out a premium membership solely to buy coins and bars on the forum.
    What was happening a decade ago is of no interest to me.
    The day before i joined, the spot price of silver was £9.88. https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/silver-price/10-year-silver-price/
    Today the spot price is £16.43.
    According to https://www.hl.co.uk/tools/calculators/inflation-calculator the price of silver should be less than £13 if it kept up with 'inflation'.
    Silver has more than kept up with inflation over this period. As with all these things it depends on the reference dates you choose. 
    i have almost never paid 'VAT' on silver. My new silver was all bought in the EU from Estonia / Germany / Belgium. The rest was second hand. i have bided my time and pick up pieces when i liked them and the price appeared right. The other physical i hold is on the Kinesis exchange which i bought at less than a couple of percent above spot. 
    i have never sold any silver and always knew it was for the long haul. A ten year+ investment. 
    Everything is speculation except paper money; you don't need to speculate its purchasing power will diminish. 
    Gold and silver coin are money - that is why we see £ on the coins. The paper notes are credit, they carry a promise to pay the bearer - except we know that promise is worthless.
    Gold and silver are the real money - they are manipulated by the central banks and the exchange stabilisation entities. Physical silver is a very small market - there isn't enough to make all the coin these days. It is easy to manipulate with derivatives and that is just what has happened since it was withdrawn from circulating coinage. Really we will have to wait until the paper currency schemes break. We can see the BRICS is organising a physically backed currency in which silver ranks third after gold and oil/gas. When the present counterfeit system breaks it will be too late. You need to have your stack in place. i have had my stack for a few years now - that is why i joined in 2016. Now i wait. i do not worry about my stack and i have no regrets.

    There are members who do not see silver as anything but a loser. This has been the case since silver was taken into its bear market after 2011.
    Their expectations haven't been met. My expectation was price would go up but it could take 10 years. 
    i accept your fuel costs will have shot up. If you didn't, perhaps you should have got a few 1000 litre IBC bulk containers and filled them with derv. If you haven't, perhaps you should fill your cupboards with storage food - i have been suggesting this for years. 
    Silver is going to catch up - as i have said time and again - it is not a matter of if, it is simply a matter of when. We are still in the accumulation phase - you are accumulating silver. It is on sale but some people are complaining. Perhaps later this year, perhaps next year, perhaps in 3 or 4 years time, they will be complaining it has gone and shot up and now they can't afford nearly as much.
