Hi, recently caught the infection.

[artalien]

Very new to PMs and loving my 6 month journey so far. Came here because Gold said I was a cheap date. Silver is more my style I think. Bought some UK "junk" both varieties and a couple of Brits - anyhoo, hello to one and all. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi, and welcome on Forum!🤗

 

[Oddjob]

G'Day and welcome.

Don't see a doctor....nurture that itch. 😀

[artalien]

ty Stefffana and Oddjob great to get a welcome - Oh and since I have the opportunity can I just write this for the first time in this life - God Save the King! 😃

Opened this expecting covid🤣🤣 but as silver is antimicrobial, you will do OK. Welcome aboard 😀

Hello and welcome to TSF!  

[Scootermuppet]

Welcome to the Forum!

But... beware the Siren Call of the Shiny Yellow stuff - it's strong on here! 😲

I'd advise caution when viewing the 'Today I received..." Post - there are too many lovely coins being flaunted there, and you just know you'll start wanting them eventually 😏

Enjoy! 👍

[dragafem]

hello and enjoy:)

We have all caught a bug and a fever at some stage in our lives which is why we're here on the forum.

The common theme is gold ....... gold bug, gold fever .......... and some silver too !

Welcome to the forum. 🤗

I hope you're not an anti-vaxxer. If so, it serves you right for believing all the influencer sheep who got suckered in by the ex doctor Andrew Wakefield, who has been responsible for more deaths than Harold Shipman.

Similar hype and phony advice also abound in regard to precious metals.

Most of the advice on TSF should be OK though.

Some of mine is published online, but I have to refrain from "plugging" it too much on TSF!

Ah ha James the 32nd if I may just kiss the royal hand I'm sure I'd be better.

Noted ScooterMuppet but alas I already popped my eyes out @ the inmystack thread.

HappyPanda I hear you, the big G is just outta reach even if I had gloves.

I think *Mr* LawrenceChard might be the appropriate address for a person such as your industrious self.

This thread already has improved my condition. Thanks trp and dragafem. Very glad to be here.

I bought some on ebay and some more from the britannia coin company. I now know I just love the 92.5%. The whole feel of those half crowns in the hand, never mind the sound. I inherited one 1964 Kennedy half dollar which was my first silver. Thanks  for your interest in my post RJ. Are you into your junk?

@modofantasma has kilos and kilos of pre 47 British silver available, cheapest way to get close to spot price.

[Mphys]

@James32 I did see that, but first time I read and was confused "8kg of 50% half crowns in circulated condition. Didn't see any slick or holed. 55 pence per fine gram so equal to £55 per 100g or £550 per fine kilo before post, you choose the amount"

Having read it several times now I  understand he means : Buy 2KG of coins from me for £550, where silver content is 50%.

Yes basically £550 per kilo of fine silver ( you will get 2 kilos obviously) as you've noted only 50% but the cheapest way of getting silver in UK.

Yes that was my understanding but jeez I don't like the 50%, sound and  feel isn't the same. .925 FTW  - I got me 1.5KG of 50% tho
