Two 2014 carded stock horses.

A George V sovereign from Atkinsons.

[morezone]

I'm just too weak and couldn't resist buying a few more half sovereigns.

[motorbikez]

2X 2014 sovs,the first I've bought in recent years

[lee85]

1 x 1/10th 2014 american gold eagle from atkinsons

[ChrisSilver]

Everyone is on the gold recently

[Shamatti]

Just remembered - I bought this today.

 

It is a 1960 ha'penny set in approx 1 ounce of Cornish tin, which was recovered from a local ship wreck.

 

Cost a fiver, I could not resist it!

 

[Danny-boy]

That's ace Sham. Liking that.

[Cointreau]

Four grams of gold and 8 oz of silver through Goldmoney.

[Danny-boy]

Once again, my most expensive per ounce silver thus far, a 2008 lunar 1/2oz mouse.

That completes the 1/2oz set, now onto the 2oz set!!!

The never ending story.

You need to check into lunar rehab!

Today I bought... some of an allocated bar through Bullionvault. This improves my average cost per ounce even when I factor in the storage fees. Goal; own the bar outright.

What vault did you choose? London or Switzerland?

I see they've added vaults in Singapore, Canada and New York. Sod New York though.

Swiss vault, because historically the Swiss have always been seen to value their neutrality and to have slightly more respect for people's property than some other places. As you say, stuff New York, and London as well, our politicians are nearly as bad as the yanks.

Interestingly from reading the FAQ I can store silver in multiple locations... but then I won't complete my bar for ages

Singapore is probably the safest. In my opinion. If things did turn nasty the US & Europe would probably be the worst places in my opinion, as they would suffer first.

[silversword]

Singapore also looks good, which is where I have a little gold, but I didn't buy that today so it doesn't count

I just bought a tube of Mexican Libertads. With prices so low I thought I would because I like them so much more than the philharmonics. Loving these bargain basement prices!

I would press the superlike button. But there isn't one. I was so close to buying a tube of libertads from STG yesterday, but stopped myself only because I really truly can't afford to buy right now, even with spot so low.

Libertads are so beautiful in my opinion, even if you unloaded in the future at spot price I think libertads would more much faster than philharmonics, purely because of the beauty of the libertads.

I hope you remembered that it's 25 in a tube and not 20 like ASE's. I also quite like the Livertad tubes, the mint has a nice logo, and nice black cap.

I was just starting to mutter "bugger bugger bugger how did I miss that?" under my breath as I checked the STG web site - they are saying it is 20 per tube, which is why I ordered 20..... is their web site wrong? I thought it was 20.... I have a tube of 2011 libertads which had 20 in it (19 now, I swapped one) but I noticed it actually had space in there for 22 coins, which was very odd.

 

I also have a 2011 2 ounce Libertad - now they are sexy as hell!   Must get some more!

I agree with you about how good looking they are. I was going to guy Phillies yesterday, but waited and silver dropped again, so I got the Libertads for about £11 more than I would have spent on them, which I think is a great deal. Happy with that!

[Danny-boy]

I have seen tubes of 20 and 25 for the same year.

Apmex sells 25's, most other places sell 20's.

Strange

Aren't APMEX "Mint Direct" tubes? i.e re-tubed after having the MS69 and 70s removed for grading.

I always thought "mint direct" were introduced specifically to ensure they haven't been sorted.

I don't know anyway, I was just saying what I had heard.

[HighlandTiger]

A 2014 Sovereign is winging its way to me from Atkinsons. Just couldn't resist. Need to up my gold count as i'm a bit top heavy with silver. And at these prices you cant go wrong.

I would like to pick up some more sovs. Was looking at a 1870 yesterday in an "antique" shop. £240. No thanks! lol
