Yeah but your bike is solid gold and you drive a Lambo Dave..

I am sure there will be plenty of collectors wanting them, and being able to afford them, but probably most of them outside the poor old UK.

I just assumed its relatively cheap (yes I know) on the secondary market compared to the rrp and  only a mintage 50 I believe ?

Considering the upside of the 2oz gold🤷‍♂️ 

I guess the old saying rings true here also...the biggest the coin/the smaller the premium.

Probably yes, but it tends to apply to bullion coins more than collectable ones.

Ultimately, it's all down to supply and demand.

Agree to a point percentage wise I've have bigger returns from 2oz silvers, but you don't pay the bills with percentages you pay with pound notes!

Nice bike Dave. I'm back in retro mode of my youth, running a 1996 Cannondale on xt groupset and pace chainset and forks and for an xtr groupset orange AL elite

E-bikes are getting more and more popular on the trails. You see all kinds of riders on them these days. From young to old, newcomers to pros..

An mtb thread would certainly be useful for those looking for some advice but not sure how welcome it would be on TSF plus I only have standard membership for now, so I’m not sure if I can start one 😬

I think it was @ShaolinStacker from USA flew to Germany and did that when he flipped his gold Una and lion and flew to Germany with it I recall. To be low-balled upon arrival and stiffed for the agreed price

Bloomin’ heck. I forgot about that. Awful.

Yup that was me but, all and all it was a great experience. Had an amazing free trip to Munich and still banked 20$k profit  for a coin I know wouldn't have gotten a 70 even with conservation.

In other good news I was able to secure a 2oz gold/ silver/ and 5oz gothic crown. As well as my 2oz gold/Silver three graces both got a PF70!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Had a second baby, moved across the country, and became CEO of a company so life has been super busy.

Hope ya'll are doing well and have an amazing Christmas/ new year

Did you get the 1kg Silver from RM? I’m guessing yes. Got denied any Kilo Silver, but got everything else, even 2 oz Gold smooth edge and 5 oz Gold, So curious why no kilo silver was avail when I asked. Platinum Mint Marquee, phone call at time of launch. Hum.

Have you any idea what the rrp in the 10oz gold was by any chance?

There’s a 2 Oz gold on eBay for £11,000.  Out of my budget. Seems decent though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BUY IT!................That is cheap and still a tax on the idiot selling it.  

[RiverbankSilver]

Well my coin never turned up when it was due yesterday 😞 Anxious times.

Tracking doesn’t make much sense either.  Despatched from Birmingham to my town at 4am yesterday morning, then received back at Birmingham at 5am (hr later)that same morning  🤔not moved since.

Anything with the word ‘Royal’ in at the moment is giving me anxiety 😟

I would’ve jumped on it if I had the funds. I think it’s a great price and will never be found so low again.

Anyone else that missed the first dispatch of the GC worried that their coins will be cancelled.   Multiple members here have been sent 2 to the same address by mistake have they cocked up AGAIN?

Have you paid your tax bill.  

[GoldDiggerDave]

@westminstrel Anyone selling the golds for that price do not know what they have got in their hands.  They are certainly not a collector or anyone with the remotest knowledge.  Someone mate is going to get a bargain.

OMG!   Another delivery coming today! @AndrewSL76 I'll need to take the windows out to get this into my house!! 😂
