Gold stacker

[mr-dead]

@ ChrisSilver - my buying power is currently greatly reduced due to the wife wanting the bedrooms + kitchen revamped

 

Will be a couple of months before I get into full swing again, hopefully I dont miss these lower spot prices.

 

My latest acquisition, a nice 1894 & 1912 sov -

Just picked up a little extra platinum on ebay, its a 1/10th proof 999 mintage London Mint Charles I pattern five unite.

 

Original price tag of £295 about 8 years ago so not a bad deal

Will add some better pics when it arrives next week.

Actual coin from above (1/10 .999 Platinum) + a 2.5g pamp pendant -

 

 

Also have 3 of these 10oz Pamps winging their way to me from one of our friends on silverstackers in Oz

Those 10oz PAMP bars are nice. I have a 1/2 kilo one, but it doesn't look as good as it's longer and there is a gap above and below the lady Fortuna. Looks a bit odd. The 10oz is a much better size in my opinion.

[mr-dead]

My 3 X 10oz Pamps arrived from Australia, or for delivery purposes my metallographic samples

 

Even with a crap paypal exchange rate worked out at £418 all in for the 3 bars inc. shipping, quite a saving over ebay/atkinsons's prices.

 

[ChrisSilver]

Nice purchase mr-dead, but aren't they in the wrong thread   I'm waiting on your 3x 10oz Au bars

[mr-dead]

One day lol.

I like that description, it's a bit more technical than the "metal discs" I have had delivered from Oz in the past.

[mr-dead]

Just ordered another 3 X 10oz pamps, so now have 6 in total.  Going to fill a box of 10 bars then back to gold buying.

 

Must not get distracted by the silver shiny metal

[Pipers]

Whats a better buy for re-sale both the same price per ounce 

 

1 Gold Vienna 1oz  

9 of Ducat 1

 

I don't mind what they look like I just want to know resale   

[mr-dead]

I would go the 9 X 1 Ducats.

 

Small coins = larger premium

[Pipers]

Thanks Mr-Dead I thought that myself. I just needed conformation.

30.29 oz gold

[Ares]

Droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[mr-dead]

Got 5 spaces in that case to cram in another 1.86oz to make it a nice round kg.

 

Will start stacking some silver, probably 10oz and 1kg bars from our friends in oz

[Kman]

30 oz of gold damn..I don't know if I will ever have that much in my life

At 10% gold PM's in portfolio. And at gold at say £1k an ounce, you only need 300k of assets.

Your young, so if you work for the next 40 years and only acquire £7500 of assets per year (so £750 of gold per year) you will have that in your lifetime

I am also in a similar position as you are, currently at 29.5 oz of gold so tantalizingly close to the BIG 1kg. But my silver stack is at 2259.56 oz.

 

I also have only one 5oz Pamp bar they are very very nice.

I need another 2200oz of silver to catch up then

[JayB]

Good lord! That's some collection 

 

Out of interest, (and you don't have to answer, I understand) a Kg of gold is 25,904 GBP spot.

What would you say your collection is worth? There look to be some premium pieces there. 

 

A very large percentage over spot?

I may just click the 'report' button as that could be too much gold for one photo.

The bulk of the oz's were purchased when spot was around £750ish and silver came from oz so no VAT.  All in I have paid £25,881 to date, I did get some really good deals on some of the Pandas and lunars so I would expect to get around £27,000 now if sold taking the increase in spot in to account.

[SilvergunSuperman]

That;s a lovely collection of gold. I feel a little inadequate now with my 2.6oz 

[coppernut]

Mr-Dead :o :o :o

OMG!

 

what a superb collection of PM's you have there mate, congrats to you.

Out of interest what are the larger sized gold coins in the trays on left of photo?

 

Thanks
