Gold Fetish!

[Keithoil]

I think I have a gold fetish at the moment as I have scoured eBay for bargains but only in gold, I have not looked at silver.

 

If I win all my current eBay bids I will have around £1200 pounds to pay out.

 

I buy most of my bullion from STG, and any graded or special coins I will get from eBay, or form the USA or Canada.

 

What about you do any of you have a buying frenzy or only concentrate on a particular item for a period of time.

[Shamatti]

I went on a Pamp frenzy a couple of years ago. I have lost soo much on those! lol

 

  PAMP Suisse Gold 1 Gram $ 66.00 1 $ 66     PAMP Suisse Gold 5 Grams $ 287.00 1 $ 287     PAMP Suisse Gold 10 Grams $ 561.00 1 $ 561     PAMP Suisse Gold 1 Troy Ounce $ 1704.00 1 $ 1704     PAMP Suisse Gold 2.5 Grams $ 150.00 1 $ 150     PAMP Gold Bullion Half Ounce $ 865.00 1 $ 865

 

 

These are all priced in Australian Dollars. 1 AUD is currently about 55p. This was November 2012.

I'm currently watching about 10 gold items on ebay, would buy them all for the right price! but I expect most of them wont be, but hopefully might get one or two.

[Keithoil]

Yes thats what happened the other day I was bidding on around 8 items and never won one, but I am very strict when it comes to the budget.

 

Set a limit and don't go over.

I have a silver proof fetish and so far this month I have spent £2329 all on silver proofs & I'm currently bidding on some more on ebay, if I win them I'm giving it  rest for a month or 2 as there are only really about 1/2 a dozen coins I really need for my collection.

i think im going to a euro gold coin interest ,theyre so shiiiny and   thin

[Keithoil]

@ Shamatti

 

Yes ouch that is a bit expensive compared to today's price. Not to worry I am sure it will bounce back in time.

[ukstack]

i feel like iv spent way to much in the last 2 weeks over 1k on premium stuff paying avrage around £16-17 an oz for over 60odd ozes 

 

also got ripped off on 2 gold full sovs i won for 370 so waiting for my money back for them and time to hit the market for some closeish to spot silver i think 

[KevinG]

I would love to have a 20 francs Leopold 2 gold coin.  Maybe i will buy it for christmas.

If the no vote wins tomorrow I'm gonna treat myself to a bran new one ounce gold coin from Atkinsons.

[BaldyBob]

If it is a YES vote, it will be even more reason to protect your wealth. Buy that gold 1 oz anyway  .       I am pretty sure it will be a NO though.

 

As I am looking for value, the Krugerrand looks competitive, but doesn't get many mentions on here. Is it not popular?, and if not, why not?

Krugerrands are nice but for the same cash I would go for the UK Lunar horse here -

CGT free and should hold a little extra premium.

The 1970s krugerrand is the only oz coin I have a pair of. Mainly because there always on offer and gold is gold.

[Pipers]

Since I bought my first Ducat I've been collecting Austrian Gold, I know most are re-strikes, but get this you can pick up a Coronas 100 for 3% above spot at Goldline.

[Keithoil]

I think I might try pick up a Ducat are they a nice coin!!!

[BaldyBob]

Thanks Stretch, that seems to be the way with the Krugerrand, and I can't fault your logic.

Mr-Dead was spot on with his Lunar Horse offer though.

[Pipers]

I started with a Ducat 4 they are very thin, this carries on through the Ducats most will be re-strikes so don't be fooled into thinking they are all 1915.  or before

 

I like the coin but as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I think you can get better prices than these at the obvious places, from time to time.

I've got a few Bob they are good value and well known throughout the world, if you are just buying gold to stack you can't go wrong with Krugers and for smaller stuff sovs.

[Kman]

I took this picture earlier, might as well post it here, my gold stack/collection so far. 

 

BTW Keith this guy just put £125 half and £250 full 2002 sov (free postage)

@Kman

 

That is a nice stack of the yellow metal there.

 

I turned down a 1oz bar yesterday for £760.

 

Because I am off to Scotland on Monday Tuesday and might pick up some more sovereigns. But if not then will go but it at the end of the week.

[Keithoil]

My GOLD fetish continues and hopefully should be added to on Wednesday if Horseman's in Ambleside have some more sovereigns for me to buy.

 

4 sovereigns from Edinburgh today.

I already own an Austrian 4 Ducat.  I bought an Austrian 20 Coronas a few weeks ago.  This week I bought a Swiss 20 Franc.  I'm really concerned that I'm leaning towards collecting "old/historical" coins from around the world in addition to my current collections.  It's not the cheapest way to acquire gold but variety is so much more interesting than just stacking the cheapest.  I seriously need help!  I have to stop!

[Shamatti]

I started to buy more expensive semi collectable coins for a minute. Then I looked over my last 5 purchases and realised I could have had something like 14 ounces for the price of the last 5 ounces!!! This stopped me in my tracks. Well, slowly. I did grab a couple of nice oddities after that, but I am now strictly back to cheap as chips stack it on silver! Same with gold.

[Keithoil]

My Silver to Gold ratio is now at a respectable 125:1. For the quantities I have.

 

EDIT: The target as I stated in another topic is 100:1.
