I'm glad you can afford kilo gold bars. That'll be me selling a kidney on the black market to afford them 😀

Don't think I'll be buying them kilos by the tube just yet but £140 a tenth Oz... Fuel for a week at the moment? A weekly shop?

@modofantasma you know me mate I whinge about inflation all day🤣 we are definitely seeing the wealth divide becoming a chasm.  Fewer with loads more money while the masses are being skinned alive……1/8 or 1/16 sovereigns next? 

Will move over to the inflation topic 👍🏼

Maybe worth a separate thread but the "rich" are getting richer too maybe kilo bars are the way to go?

Will we see times where it isn't worth selling a tenth or a quarter Oz because you can't buy anything with £200 or £300 🤔 I mean can barely feed myself and fill the car up for a week on that as it is now 😂

Then think on your stash as abridge over a recession, you won't kast a lifetime on it but you'll get to the other end of a recession hopefully owning your house, cars and pension while virtually everyone else will be working to the grave.

Yes, I understand all of that, and more.

My post was probably too long as it was. I could have made it book length, but that would have been counter productive, as nobody would have read it.

I tned to presume people are buying for investment, or want the best valus, unless I know otherwise.

Buying small sizes when new is almost guaranteed to be poor value, buying them secondary market at lower premiums makes some sense.

There is a good Advice page, with links, here:

Some of the links need development work, but eventually, this source should cover about 99% of sensible advice.

I don't know if uk has no records need to be made when buying or selling gold...but it helps inheritors get tax free money from relatives and the $10,000 limit on leaving the country with cash is based on the $50 face of gold eagles so, you could take out 200 eagles and meet the limit.

I was wondering how they worked out the value of gold being taken abroad. Good to know it's on face value and not market value at the time 😁👍

Have you seen any (better official) confirmation for such approach? Because all I can find anywhere is rather "If you are travelling to a country with restrictions in place, bear in mind that the value of the coin is in its metal, and not the face value that may have been attributed to it. These coins are bullion, and will be considered as such by customs agents."

A nice little 3 1g bars arrived today………even got a hand signed note! 
 

Thanks @Paul you are a top man👍

That's interesting about the face value being used by the US. do you have an official government source we can check?
