Are there others?

Sorted...

These gold pattern "coins" are hallmarked and do not have any "One Pound" marking - they are not legal tender. As such, I believe that they are not CGT exempt. GLWS.

Numismatic trivia - the 1983 silver £1 coin is, afaik, the only RM coin for which the CoA was the same for both the standard thickness and Piedfort coins.

I am developing nostalgic feelings towards scud missiles.

You might well have seen the latter design - the 2016 Last Round Pound...

The Fed own a large black swan farm in Iran.

Other winter nourishment is available.

Ironically the Fed does indeed have inflation under control, although not exactly in the way the market believes they mean(t).

Transitory, temporary, sticky and under control.

Trusting what the Fed says - any recent history on that?

All fiat toilet paper now officially in a race to the bottom.

When the incoming puppet Gavin Newsom is shoehorned into the White House, will he be allowed to blame Biden and dementia?

Unlikely. The Fed will cut in June. Reasons/causes/propaganda will merely be adjusted/found/manipulated.

10oz Silver QB Black Bull I sold my previous example of the 10oz Bull last year when I was offered a truly exceptional price by a feebay buyer. Duly forgot to replace it until I noticed a superb offer from @Malthus101 at the weekend and I was delighted to receive this superb replacement.

...is that before or after cartel price-rigging?

The Fed needs to create the illusion of liquidity. The Fed needs to sustain inflation. The Fed needs both the bond and equity markets to look bullish ahead of November. The Fed will cut rates in June. The ECB and the Old Lady will follow suit in short order. Further cuts will be necessary to shore up market "confidence". Both markets will crash, merely a question of whether this will be before or after the "election". Bond yields will, as always, be the leading indicator. Trump or Biden will make no difference, DT will just mean a stay of execution. Gold is good. Imho.

I have a spare silver proof version if you're interested.
