Another eBay win arrived today, a 1893 Maundy Set presented in its dated case.  Very nicely toned and have not been messed around with over the last 128 years.  What a sweet little Set of Silver coins these are.  

And my outstanding Royal Mint order is now complete.  
 




 

I still think we're in the period highlighted, something will happen to kick gold on to the next leg up, probably come down more in the meantime
It's that or the world just opens up out of covid like nothing happened, all the jobs come back, all the new heavy debt doesn't matter, all the businesses lost and struggling just spring back to flourishing

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have coins that are about as perfect as I think they can be.
 

Just as a small aside I'm descended from Henry VII
My grandpa was part of a Scottish clan which someone set up a genealogy page for, you can trace right back from my grandpa to Henry VII who married his daughter Margaret to James IV of Scotland
 
 

This is TLT (30 year US bonds) and Gold
If bond yields continue to go up expect gold to come down
I wouldn't be shocked if it comes down another 5-10% in the next few months but who knows, will depend on the new normal - how well the vaccines seem to work and how optimistic people are on global economy recovery
I personally think at some point this year an event will happen or a signal will appear that things aren't going to get back on track and that's when gold will kick on but who knows

if you don't hold it you don't own in 💯

Lets compare a spade to a spade
Has there ever been a popular proof release from the Royal Mint that was very well received, gained a huge premium then dropped off to nothing?
Maybe a SoTD sovereign or two? not that they dropped off to nothing but if I remember right the Brexit ones initial prices was £1000+ on Ebay and now you could maybe hope to get one for ~£700 
A more direct comparison to the Thee Graces though the Una seemed to just go up since release 
I'm personally very happy to hold these coins indefinitely and see where they go, I might actually start a poll to see what others are planning

Finally had time to take a look at mine. I’m happy! It’s going to grading. I honestly I think it will get a 70. Zoomed in on video camera 4x magnification and it looks “mint”. I’ll grade it myself via NGC London. I have a 2oz Bowie to grade as well and a ton of credit at NGC to spend (I bought the Elite membership 3 months ago).
I’m really sorry for those who didn’t manage to get one. @Paul thanks for your comment about the queue on the day. I refreshed and boom I was into the queue. I was refreshing every 10-15 seconds anyway beforehand but I think you may have given me the kick 🦵 over the line. 
I’m a little bit “annoyed” at all the extra flippers that poured into the market which made it impossible for some old school regular buyers to miss out. Even @Paulwho missed out (I believe) was giving everyone with helpful tips on how to buy once passed the queue, how it works and to target your coin and get it in your basket and through to paid ASAP, so thanks @Paul for being an all round nice guy 👍🏻 
My experience was - I tried for a 2oz gold, couldn’t pay, panicked, went for a 5oz silver, couldn’t pay, panicked and then went for the 1oz silver. I think if I had stayed on the 5oz gold I would have came away with nothing. It eventually removed itself out of my basket  anyway after several attempts at paying (for the gold). Had I quit sooner I may have got the 5oz silver 🤷‍♂️
Just happy to have got one really. 😊 

Came with capsule loose just sitting on top rather than on 👌
Feared scratched, was convinced there were two

 
But I put it next to a small desk fan and things blew off phew, can't see any real problems now
Not the best picture but you can see the  debris is gone in comparison (marks on capsule)
