As for whether it is a good investment now...... I suggest you buy ounce coins to enjoy, you could do a tour of the world mix and match and all that......something few people can do with gold coins, you won't lose anything.....and if you can enjoy investment and make it a hobby all the better. The picture doesn't do this fine piece justice it's just so beautiful astecticly. It's one of the most beautiful coins I own. Part from the lizard in the middle of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgewood Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I kept my eye on the Queen's Beasts series in gold but none of them appealed to me. More fool me, they're doing crazy prices over premium now....... Anything like that from Royal Mint with a limited mint run is a damn good investment. Looking at 25 percent over spot price at least.... If you buy at the right time you can add that on top of the gold price increase.... Queen's Beasts series has been one of the best investment tickets in recent times........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to take into account the VAT if you are a UK citizen. Some of that is over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was looking at SHIB for a minute.... it was a penny when I went to bed. IF it comes back, this would be the biggest buy, come Lambo....moment if you can buy. 100$ will gets you over a million Luna. Imagine if it reaches 10 cents or even a dollar. How much has it been diluted? Max supply = infinite..... LOL EDIT: Mind you, people are making money on it. The lowest was six zero today, now 4 zeros.

I've been buying gold coins for too long now..... back when I was buying from Ebay you could get collectable coins under spot.....this was when gold was hitting 1700 dollars and a lot of people who had seen gold go through the roof were selling and it was like all sorts of old treasure coins were turning up and you could snap them up for spot prices......... so for me paying more than 10 percent over spot just isn't happening...... but that's ok....I've got some great coins...... and will miss out on possible collectible future issues..... but it's hard when you paid relatively small dollar for coins to be asked to pay big dollar now... And I fucking hate the Queen, the silly old cunt. She can fuck herself and her beasts.... I won't pay silly money for that old bitch who sold our country out. Much more excited for south African old issues and rare limited issue Krugerrands, particularly proof coins which are very rare indeed.

Yeah but look on the bright side if she dies it might go up in value. What other coins are good? Thing is they are exempt from capital gains tax.

If gold drops down a bit I am eager to hoover up a load of sovereigns.... Would like to get a set of 10 perhaps......then my gold urge will be spent I think....Victoria, Edward....George....all useless rogues of course who have sold the country out over the years..... but nice shiny shiny.....shiny piece of metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to buy UK gold and to avoid CGT try to find old proof Britannias, the range from 1/10 ounce all the way to 1 ounce coins and even some of the non-proof mintages are extremely rare...... I got a selection of boxed proof coins over the years.... mintages for these coins can be as low as 3,000 making them ludicrously rare.... Would be a good thing to look into....the proof mintage figures for Britannias.... you can get them in sets of course.... but they will be pretty expensive.... if you can pick up a loose proof Britannia from a set which has been sold without the box it will be much cheaper.... Where do you buy coins from? Ebay is probably still the best option..... I found a few really good gold dealers, one is bleyer bullion and the other is Atkinsons gold, but their premiums have rocketed...... but check out their websites...they do a nice selection of sovereigns: https://atkinsonsbullion.com/pre-owned/gold/pre-owned-gold-coins https://www.bleyerbullion.co.uk/ Gold had dropped a bit in recent times..... if it gets down to 1400 it's a good time to buy.

Edgewood Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Keep your eyes on gold......it's 1479 as I write. If and when it gets down to 1400 BUY BUY BUY. I know I will. It might be your last chance to grab some a nice shiny shiny, shiny piece of metal... You might ask why you need to buy a shiny shiny, shiny piece of metal... Well the rest of the world including India, China, Russia and certain Levantine bankers, seem to think it has value.... and indeed, they use it as the basis for all apparent financial liquidity in the world.... The amount of money a country can print is ostensible linked to the value of its gold reserves or the ability of that country's agents to access loans backed by gold held by someone (usually Rothschild Levantines) Unfortunately most people in the West haven't been told that, so instead they keep their savings in the bank where they are daily being whittled down by inflation, or they invest in property, which is a bubble which will surely burst once the Corona vaccine mass die off start to come into effect.

Mr H Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Bitcoin also looks likely to go to 50% lowerish from where we are today. USD is looking mega bullish. So personally converting GBP to USD (revolut), waiting for the bottom in BTC and Gold, then buying. NFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're dreaming... you will never see 1500 US for an ounce of gold. That boat has long sailed. The last major collapse in gold price was only because of Rothschild pumping billions into short positions.... Now that physical gold is a tier 1 asset, ie the safest category, and paper gold a tier 3 asset of Basel III rules, things will never be the same again. It will no longer be possible to short real TIER 1 gold using TIER 3 paper short positions. They are simply not the same thing anymore. Finally what many gold hawks have longed for has come to pass. Paper (fake) gold positions have been de-linked from REAL gold holdings. Gold will go to the moon. Book your seat while you can still afford it. Eventually gold has the potential to become the ONLY risk free TIER 1 asset: The world's central banks buying at these prices is in preparation for the only tier 1 asset on their balance sheets that, unlike fiat currency, will not be intentionally debased by governments with their loose monetary policy we have seen now for years. https://www.investing.com/analysis/basel-iii-what-does-mean-for-gold-and-silver-prices-200610613 Edited May 21, 2022 by Edgewood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into Basel III and the effects on the gold market. Yes I know the stories the gold bug sell people on. I'm looking at real data and charts. If the macro doesn't change it's going down to 1500-1600 range which would be a buy for me personally. At the moment the play by the central bankers is to curb inflation by creating a pan sell off environment. Until that changes, everything going down - they can't raise interest rates that much, so it is the play for now. EDIT: I should highly likely, nothing is ever certain of course!

Edgewood Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) It's not a 'gold bug sell'....it's something which has really been decided on by the global gold regulatory markets. It is a real phenomenon which will in the long run, ensure that gold can no longer be financially manipulated by fiat backed paper positions. If you wait until 1500 US you will simply never own any gold.....and who knows... it might be useful...or it might not..... I think it probably will...but each to their own.
