I guess this’ll have dropped your Silver price paid/oz average somewhat! And such a handy thing to have if the doomsday/civil unrest commentators are correct. 

Congratulations @GavinDevon 👍

What about this, these Tokelau range are cheaper.

16.85 euros 264oz delivered thank you very much ....
Happy with that... That works out far better that the European mint.
Cheers lads for the tip.

Me too I suppose. But silver at spot is as low as ever in last 10 years, so there is that.

The price of Gold seems incredibly good to me...
I am also tempted by some silver. It is coming out at around 27% premium but I just cant find anything better right now.

Thanks @kneehow2018- not Mexican and for me a different continent entirely.
Beautiful Silver & Gold Krugerrands- the 50th Anniversary Gold 1/2oz Proof Krugerrand has a minuscule 800 declared Mintage- rarely available.  I think @kneehow has another Gold...if anyone can prise it out of his mitts. 

Now I know how it works it isn't a problem,  I have them stored now and can just transfer an amount to my online funds with them then purchase my coins/bars.  Just a puzzle with the website design and lack of instructions, had to figure it out.  Got to say I am happy with the prices especially the bars.

A quick reckoning:
40 1470 0.0272108844 that is €40 premium, divided by €1470 spot = about 2.7% premium.
We always prefer and advise to use percentage premium, because it makes comparison quicker and easier, across different currencies, and different coins with different weights.
today 2.7% is quite cheap, but not outstanding.
A month ago, it would have probably looked expensive, premiums for physically available bullion have increased in the past fortnight. This probably explains why you are seing some Krugers at €1600 (about 9% premium), the vendors hope there are panic buyers out there who will pay any silly price.
I looked at our current pricing on Krugers, although we don't have any in stock for immediate delivery:
 
Quantity Premium % Price Per Item Total Est UK Delivery 1 3.1 £1,348.62 £1,348.62 £6.00 2 2.8 £1,344.70 £2,689.40 £7.00 5 2.75 £1,344.04 £6,720.20 £10.00 10 2.7 £1,343.39 £13,433.90 £14.00 25 2.65 £1,342.73 £33,568.25 £33.00 50 2.6 £1,342.08 £67,104.00 £70.60 100 2.55 £1,341.43 £134,143.00 £115.60 500+ 2.5 £1,340.77 £670,385.00 £487.20 We have slightly better prices for "one ounce gold secondary market our choice"
About a month ago, before it all kicked off, we had Krugers from 1.0% to about 1.9% premium depending on quantity, and from 0.9% on "one ounce gold secondary market our choice". We do this, or similar, when we judge that we have surplus stock, or if we think spot price is on the high side.
We do make an extra charge for picking dates, but that is more for the service than anything else.
 
 

This is a forum, you do realise you can not physically move around a forum.

I filled it all in and submitted proof of ID etc.  Ordered a bar they took £50 and the rest is payable when I get my order confirmation.  Paid VAT etc. 

Brokers out there that will give you 500:1 in leverage. You can open 100 lot short position on Gold right now for £26,150 in Margin.

$1640 to $400 = $1,240 dollar move equivalent of 124,000 pip move in Gold x £80.57 = £9,900,680 profit. What are you waiting for @Wonger open that trade and position and live your dreams as multi-millionaire shorting Gold. But before you disappear into the sunset with your millions please do come back to the forum and post a picture. For the time being when Gold hits $400 I will think of @Wonger as the dude in the picture below......

I wonder how far Gold and Silver will have to go down to stop these nonsense posts on this thread? Well were about to find out and those posters will go very quiet when it happens!

I think, but I might be wrong that this is a forum for healthy debate and opinions and you feel the need to pick one sentence from my comment and belittle me but I might be wrong.
How sad you feel the need to belittle others. 🤔 But I might be wrong.
You might want to try being nice, I know that might be slightly alien to you but try it sweetie, it might suit you.
Did you know, perhaps not, but silence is also an option. Apparently and ironically silence is golden would you believe.
Now stop belittling others and volunteer for NHS, as have I.
I’ll look forward to that rain in 2020/21, it will make a refreshing change in UK. 😘

Don't you start! 
We have been having discussions about this for some time now. 
My view is that it means exactly what it sounds like. 
"Mint" would mean “in mint condition” (but don't forget that can be highly variable), so "minty" should logically mean something slightly different. 
It implies a degree of approximation, which might vary depending on context, so a roll of Edward VII "minty" sovereigns might not be quite as good as a roll of George V or Elizabeth II. 
As it happens, I think all our 1932 10 guilders would easily qualify for an MS grade on the Sheldon scale, rather than AU. 
On that note, "MS" stands for "Mint State", and MS grades go from MS60 to MS70. 
AU, standing for "Almost Uncirculated", goes from AU50 to AU59. 
My colleague, Ian, thinks "minty" is too inexact to use, but I disagree, and consider that its very inexactitude makes it a perfect word, and very concise. 
A few years ago, a well-known Yorkshire dealer offered me some "minty" sovereigns, and I believe that the two of us had a perfect understanding of what that meant, which is great communication. 
Having cited one anecdote, more years ago, a well-respected Italian dealer offered us a quantity of older sovereigns which he described as "F.D.C.", when they arrived, they ranged from good VF to about EF, but certainly not F.D.C., which has a very exact meaning, so this was poor communication from him. (We still trade together). 
To replace the word "minty", we would have to say something like "quite close to mint condition, give or take, and allowing for age, etc." 
BTW, the Royal Mint have registered "Minty" as a trade mark, but they have no objection to us using the word when describing coins. 
 
 

Whether Gold crashes or moons, one thing is for sure...... You can never trust anyone who believes it will 100 percent happen.
Anyone who deserves respect acknowledges that they are only making an informed decision, but can never guarantee they will get it right.

Totally agree

Gold isn’t far off it’s all time high (GBP) it was at BEFORE the pandemic. The aftermath will last a lot longer than the end of the pandemic. My “buy buy buy” was a but tongue in cheek, but i do think now is a great time to buy - or even better - already own gold.

I have bought 7oz of gold in March and I m still looking to buy more , I do not see any other investment safer than gold at the moment .

Anyways is anyone actually buying gold at the moment?

Well, some of the gold dealers are claiming to be cleaned out, someone is buying. Not me though.
