    That’s what I am looking at right now, £22.25 for a 1oz Britannia but £15 for shipping, it’s pointless unless bulk buying

    I'll take the £15 delivery any day of the week. I don't buy on weekends :D
    Seriously, shipping to Romania is 50€, which is about £45.

    If I buy 50 x 1oz coins, my total cost raises by 1€ per coin. Maybe I should stick to ETFs...

  2. £854 ?
    How about 816€ for a mixed year koala coin?
    https://www.heubach-edelmetalle.de/verkauf/koala-1-kilo-mix-16504
    That's 25,4€ per ounce.

    They also have some other deals like:
    30€ libertads
    <27€ phillys mixed years
    26,2€ 2016 pandas
    27,2€ koala
    ~900€ lunar 2 kilo coins
    27,2€ kangaroos

    and the icing on the cake, at least for me, ~1700€ gold rectangle dragons:

    Too bad they don't ship to Romania, as they would be out of stock on some of these items :D

  3. I do not understand why people are making fun of a man's opinion.
    This thread was started in March, when gold price took a small dive. And maybe, under "normal" economical circumstances, the price would have gone even lower for a short while.
    But let's remember what happened in the mean time:
    - PPP(payroll protection program)
    - stimulus checks
    - eviction moratoriums
    - unemployment benefits
    The FED alone expanded their balance sheet by 3 trillion dollars. Not to mention other central banks.

    All that new, cheap money had to go somewhere. And some "assets" went up in value, some didn't. It could have been, gold, silver, pharma stocks, technology stocks, real estate or any other class of asset. There is a chart on the FED site that shows a dramatic increase in home "ownership" in the US in the last few months. And I use quotes because if you took a loan to buy a house, you don't actually own it, in the full sense of the word.

    Wonger may be proven right, after all. Because, let's not forget what gives value to gold. It's people's thrust that it will hold it's purchasing power, even after some major economic changes. And why should it? Can it feed the masses, or even a small group of people? Can it cure diseases? NO.
    When push comes to shove, the majority of population will choose to live in a (fiat-driven) socialistic environment, even a communist one, where there is a sense of equality, over any other kind of regime, where previous PM savers have a (big) head start. So gold will have little value, at least for the first few decades of the new regime, and it will only be accessible to only a few people in the higher ranks. Not to mention the risk of confiscation.
    Also, I hear a lot of PM stackers on Youtube that they will be able to use their coins/bars to barter essentials like water or food. In a near Mad Max scenario, you won't be able to do so because either it has already been stolen from you, or your "precious" metals will worth far less in the eyes of those who will be able to produce/procure goods.

    Just because it's rare, does not mean it's valuable. And the perfect example for this is gold's neighbor on the periodic table, platinum. Platinum is over 10 times more rare than gold, and for the first decade of this millennium, it was slightly more expensive than gold. But when it's real life (industrial/auto) application switched to other metals, it's price started lagging.

    So let's not make fun of a person for having an opinion and/or sticking to it. We may all be right, or we may all be wrong. Only time(s) will tell.

    Earlier on this thread I asked the same question. People here have ordered and said everything was ok. I think they are reputable dealer.

     

    Package took 8 days to receive to Romania. Britannias and Perth Mint rectangular dragons came in slips. Oriental Border Britannias came in capsules.
    No gold magazines, only a few pages, not kilos as reported by others.

    Thanks, Is the silver vat free?

    I only paid what is displayed on their website, plus shipping. It seems that all silver products on their website have either VAT included or are using special scheme, so the price is final.

    Thanks for this advice. I'm new and trying to figure out the best way to get the cheapest silver.

    This one comment, just made my overly complicated excel spreadsheet look lots better!

    I don't have revolut. But have a Halifax Clarity Creditcard, they have zero loading on foriegn spending and use the bank exchange rate in currency, so i'm guessing should be the same thing...  

     

    Nooo... Traditional banks usually have different exchange rates than the fintechs. right now, 1 gbp is 1.09 euro, and that is exactly what revolut offers. Your bank may offer only 1.08 to 1.05.
    Better make sure of their exchange rate before doing any conversion/purchase.

    Have you got a link for those Perth dragons please i couldn't locate them on that website? many thanks in advance.

    All gone... Same for the Britannias, regular or oriental. Prices were too good to resist.
    For some reason, on this site, you can only search/access the products that are in stock.

  7. Just now, werewolf said:

    Gone...simply gone..when I was editing my adress...wow..

    Same. They do not even appear as sold out, it says '404 Page Not Found'. I think they took the page down because they made a mistake.

    Anyway, thanks for the tip @Shep

    Gonna create an account on the royal mint right now, just in case they have anymore sales like this.

    Gold is still crashing😐

     

    More like crushing...
    Money printing + ultra rich that are running away from fiat = gold price goes up to the moon
    Maybe author of this post missed a zero at the end: $3850 per ounce.
