£40 BT from me stacks not big enough to put in precious metal yet it would be if I didn't keep Missing @arshimo2012 on here 😂

Admin Edit on behalf of member: member has requested to change their donated prize to a 2 oz QB Lion Silver Coin 

2 years, 4 months, 6 days as a Forum member and investing in PM's I have hit three kilos of Gold milestone now breached 👍
With thanks to the wider Forum 🙂 and The European Mint where I have purchased a large majority of my Queens Beast coins.
I have had to sell large proportion of my Silver and part of my Gold stack to finish off remaining 1oz Gold Queens Beast coins and a special thanks to everyone traded with me/provided help and advice:

5 oz Gold in Special Year Designs in bullion Britannia's

 
Drum roll please for the main attraction.......
100 oz Gold Queens Beast bullion coins

Saved another £100 from the possible scenario of a hyperinflation or a re-evaluation of our currency in case we go digital Stack now at about 700 ounces. Hoping for a massive dip in silver price and enough supply to get to 1000 ounces. Thanks go to @arshimo2012

Nice little collection arrived today.
 
Thanks to @arshimo2012 for the Marvel’s.

Two more arrived this morning.
 
Thanks to @arshimo2012for the Capt. and my wife’s Nectar points for the Black Flag (Haven’t worked out how to tell her yet 👹)

As @Shinus73 stated this forum has proved its worth in being able to provide a platform where sellers and buyers find and strike deals that are most of the time the best.
I noticed you are relatively new on the forum so you don't have the same experience as many of us who have been buying and selling for many years very successfully.
Many of us are very astute in seeking out good deals and we have well honed experience in checking out competitive prices both when buying and selling.

As a stacker of silver I do research before making any purchases and when for example  @arshimo2012 lists silver bars and coins on the Silver Forum you have to be monitoring your screen live when he lists his stuff because if you blink you have missed a bargain.

If you are desperately seeking a specific coin then you might pay extra because there is no-one else offering this coin.
Some websites like BullionbyPost might show a coin that is out of stock for £30 but you would find it impossible to source anywhere for less than £60 so a seller is going to try and get close to £60. When buying basic bullion then personally I look for the cheapest but factoring in also the cost of shipping or adding VAT plus other charges if purchasing in the USA or Australia.

Last summer I sold a lot of gold coins to forum members at prices you could not even think about getting from any dealers.
Show me a dealer that sells gold proof Britannias, gold proof sovereigns, doubles and quintuples at SPOT price.
Even boxed proof sets at a few percent over spot when your well known dealers were asking 60% premiums on identical sets.

When it comes to selling, some of us research the market very thoroughly and price accordingly.
Serious forum buyers do their homework and if a product is over-priced it does not sell.
Having said that I failed to sell some coins priced at less than £24 here but saw the same coins sell on eBay for over £35 during the same period.
There will always be opportunists and some coins could be overpriced but generally not from any seasoned members.
@Tn21 mentioned you are only scratching the surface so stick with it and if someone is listing at too high a price, don't buy.
Some sellers however might reconsider if you sent them an offer backing up your price as perhaps they weren't as well informed.

It will be interesting to see how silver prices change after December 31 when buying from our VAT free or differential VAT suppliers will have ended.
That's where some of us stackers get our benchmark prices.

Many thanks to @arshimo2012 for this lovely 2020 Oriental Britannia.
Anybody got 18/19 and willing to sell? 😅
 

More bullion grade Sovereigns from 2013 which I might just flip a few, as a decent price for a quick sale. Thinking of doing a bullion sovereigns date run, as date runs seem to have captured my kids interest.
Plus a tube of 2017 Brits from @arshimo2012who promised me some later this week, when fast finger @Tn21had beat to some he put up earlier by about a minute.

Couldent help it. After watching @BackyardBullion vid a few hundred times lol gotta be my favourite In the collection. Just wow
Massive thanks to @Longjohnsilverstacker for making this happen 

In the same week seven Queen Elizabeth II proof sovereigns came back from conservation & grading by PCGS and one (the 2013) from the Coin Cabinet auction. 

This months purchases thanks to @arshimo2012  @ADK1080  amongst others, rate these guys. 👍

Spotted these today - hope to get one free of VAT at some point.
