Lunar year of the monkey

[Youngsliver90]

Was looking at the lunar year of the monkey was thinking of buying a tube what you guys think 

[HelpingHands]

I've seen a few youtube videos in which some have already developed white marks / milk spots.

Maybe it means that if you get some which stay clear they will be even more sought after in the future.

It could be a gamble.

If you're talking about the royal mint monkey I'd advise against it if you don't like scratches, dinks and milk spots,  I have just one and you can see all those things in abundance.

The Perth mint monkeys another story, better quality all round as always.

Got both and the UK coin does have dings & scuffs so disappointed at the lack of QC at the Mint.

Thats some scratch on that monkey, I am not going to buy any of them. 

The royal mint needs to think about its quality control, those monkeys are not the cheapest coins.

Buy the Perth mint monkey

Allocated silver for me only these days. 

No fears of milk spots on its more expensive sibling

Who's the best allocated to buy with?

Whatever happened to "if you don't hold it you don't own it"?

 !!!!!!!!!!!!! ****** MY 1000th post ************** !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

i have got my core holding of physical silver, i built this when i first started out stacking

I'm happy with what i have currently & don't wish to add more at the moment - my movement into allocated bullion is just so all my eggs aren't in one basket and everything in one place should the worst ever happen and also because i can buy at a much smaller margin than physical coins

I also wanted to narrow my ratio split between gold & silver to 50/50 - I was split i was heavily 90% silver 10% gold  

So only buying physical gold currently and allocated silver to narrow the gaps

I still believe in  "if you don't hold it you don't own it"? but Im also a believer in "not having all your eggs in one basket", even if one of my allocated bullion account goes t**ts up all my eggs are not in all that allocated bullion basket. 

Hard to understand which is safest or best way to parks the spoils of your hard graft these days 

Remember cash in the bank is not your cash once deposited, you are an unsecured creditor of that bank.

Bail ins possible (cyprus style), withdrawl limits (greece), negative interest rates (denmark) currency revaluing over night (china/switzerland) anything these days is possible - who knows

Sorry anyway. When I spot your spelling mistakes I tend to milk it.

My daughter wanted to open a goldmoney account then couldn't be bothered she rang me and said have you seen the verification list.

I have been with goldmoney for years and they are fine but the list has got more strict.
