Here's mine. Get cheese dip, bake in oven, meanwhile you cook pork belly chops in a cast iron pan*, when both are ready enjoy chops dipped in cheese. This stuff has no right to be this good.

*alternatively you can oven bake them.

Both of those are true. On reflection I guess $10K/oz is feasible within our lifetimes but it would necessitate the dollar being obliterated. Excluding rampant inflation or currency crises I don't believe it's possible. Of course it depends how old you are, I don't expect to still be here in 50 years 🤣

That is absurdly optimistic. AI is going to take most of the jobs and the majority of the population will be on UBI within my lifetime, not buying gold!

Some pics taken for the record a bit ago. Most of the gold and silver

I click on these videos expecting to hear hype, misinformation and somebody to try to sell me something. This video was a pleasant surprise:
 

Quick rundown of my experiences with coin capsules:
Air-Tites cater more for the stackers.  They have a fixed outer diameter (for each series letter), and either an inner plastic rim or a foam ring to fit the coin size.  They are also flatter in profile so they stack better, and of course they sell tubes for each series to aid stacking.  Much harder to get in Europe, and consequently can be quite expensive.  The lids fit very tightly together (hence the name) but can be quite awkward to open, as they don't provide a cut-out to get your fingernail in.
Lighthouse are more for the collectors.  The capsules are available in many (many) different sizes, but vary inner and outer.  They have a slightly curved surface, which looks nicer on displays IMHO.  'Grips' have rims, and are the older range.  Their 'Ultra' range have smooth edges and super clear plastic.  Within 'Ultra' there is 'Perfect Fit', which are only available in a few of the really popular sizes, including ones for 1oz gold and silver coins - tighter tolerances and hold the coin firmly.  'Intercept' have the foam surround, and kind of look like Air-Tites, but their outer diameter varies with the inner, so they are not as stacker friendly.  Much easier and cheaper to get in Europe.

Little update on this. I emailed them yesterday and got answer today saying this:
 I can see that your order The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III 2023 Celebration Sovereign Is still in place on your account  if
the money has re-appeared in your account please give us a call so we can retake the payment so you dont lose your order.
I call them this morning and I was told that the payment would be taken again when the coin becomes available. no further action needed.

Yeah Constantin was selling them for £25.50 each today, which is £4.50 less, or £112.50 less per tube.
Also, people won't really pay any more because there is some sticky tape keeping them unopened, what is more important @Goldbrittanialover is people knowing for sure what year the coins are, they may want to see them too

Have to love Perth Mint…one of 5,000 minted worldwide. 
 
 

One 22 Charlie boy sov. It's not popular, its not pretty its not proofy but who cares because a) it's gold b) it's gold and c) Gold!  
Taken with a camera phone using a lightbulb for max photo quality   

I would have to lie if I received this today, but I will treasure this great specimen like the apple of my eye. Wonderful medal from Korea in proof, only 99 pieces. Sale only in case of absolute emergency. Have a peaceful weekend and greetings from Maxe.

quick thanks to brnlx639 for this 1963 sovereign super fast delivery and excellent to deal with

Well, for the first time in ages i bought the tiny dip yesterday and spot is still actually higher this morning. Very pleased to have picked up these Edward Sovereigns from a pot luck best price buy. My first actual circulation Sovereigns and also if my failing eyesight doesn't betray me, i believe the 1909 has an S for Sydney (the tail detail isn't as soft was it looks in the pic, that's just the limitations of my camera or more likely my photographic skills!).

Mine has arrived to  Gorgeous 

Picked up this South African 1/10 oz 24 carat gold 2003 Lion that's from the Natura series.

2018 full sov x2
1894 ½ sov best value

Couple more George India mint Sovs and some additional Gillicks from @Sh97if

OK, Thanks. Mine just arrived!  I’m not too disappointed that I didn’t get the SoTD which indirectly commemorates the Coronation, but is really just a bullion sovereign with a few changes. However, this one is dedicated to it.  Just read the label. For me it’s a great keepsake - not to be sold on!

These just arrived 

Thanks to Gold Bullion Co. for delivery of more of what is surely now the de facto sovereign. 😈 😂
The COA was a nice touch. First time dealing with them. Very happy.
 

Oh ffs, couldn't they hold on 1 more week, I've been saving for an ounce of charlie all month 🙄 
Wait that didn't sound right, I mean charles gold 1 oz coin.. not the Colombian marching powder 😳

£187 for a tenth eagle (type 2) perhaps a good deal for some doing the world tenth collections? 

2005 sov still sealed in original packaging 👌 just arrived

Wonderful addition to the series! The 2022 USS Constitution. Courtesy of Silvertrader.
These are absolutely stunning in hand.
Just wish I had the bottle to take them out of the OMP 🙈
