£40 a Troy ounce

I've made a few bad purchases since starting. The bulk of my silver I got for around £16/oz but I see some I bought for between £25/£30/oz which hurts my soul

I look at it as a small fee to recieve an education 

Sucker was a but harsh, but that's how I felt too. It seems silver is easier to make mistakes with. I like most on this thread paid too much at first but as you say sometimes education costs!

It's like everything we get better with practice.  Just had some 2oz coins delivered from Baird Mint (queens beasts), including the VAT I paid the equivalent of £17 an ounce. So I am getting there lol 

But  of course that is still £4.50 above spot. The VAT kills you. Can't understand why the government wish to inhibit peoples ability to buy silver.

It sounds like they were legal tender but nothing more.

They were a clever marketing idea.

Fortunately I sold it on ebay on a £1 listing fee and managed to get my money back. 

I wouldn't mind betting you wish or will wish you still had it - when things start to PROPERLY shake out! 😉
