In March 2019’s Coin News there is an article “The Sovereigns of Queen Victoria from 1846 to 1849” (pp.40-41) in which Clive King reports (p.40):
“...a large number of the 4.5 million sovereigns struck for 1847 were actually well under the legal tender weight.  Many weighed as little as 7.92g and would certainly have been deemed illegal tender under the Coinage Act of 1816-1870.  It’s amazing to think that if 25 per cent of the sovereigns struck for this year were 0.06g too light, that it would have left around 70kg of gold in the cupboard.”
As this is not mentioned in Marsh, I thought it was worth highlighting.

Following my initial attempt to add the the third 2 oz Silver Bleyer Hand Poured Rectangular Owl Bar for 2020, Caroline at @BleyerBullion was able to find one of the last available after it was quickly out of stock. Thank you Caroline for helping me add this beauty to my continued Rectangle Owl bar collection and ability to further help you with your contributions to The Barn Owl Trust!



Even our very own backyard Barred Owl approves!!!

Second delivery of the day!

Speechless...

Do you own research and due-diligence that forms a long term investing plan and strategy and stick with it. The Silver Forum place to have a banter, make some friends, do some trades and talk about our strategies and plans for preserving our purchasing power in a dignified and respectful manner with others.
@Hennypenny I would not reflect on the past and be upset the game is far from being over. For individuals that look at the past and kick themselves for "missing out" will continue to miss out in the future. I was worried about Corona Virus switch my entire portfolio from stocks into bonds on 14th January later on in March I had avoided the biggest falls in stock in shortest time frame the markets had ever seen and my technicals shouting at me that I should switch back but I listened and was influenced by all the doom and gloom on YouTube. I have missed out on 40% gains in equity markets and I am still in Bonds now (ICiCI Life money market funds pays 6.5% still not bad).
We all need to stop looking back at the rear mirror and pay attention to what is happening in the here and now.

Wonger is like some of the share gurus on here, they never actually show a buy & sell trade of of their own but talk as if they have great knowledge, some may have most don't. Basically use your common sense. One way to get a pretty good picture of the guys who sell on here is look at their sales feedback &  take it from there the feedback system works similar to ebay.
Personally I have bought & sold on here with no issues so you can be 99.9% confident dealing with sellers on here,  obviously someone with 0 or a few feedback points offering the most fantastic deal needs to be viewed with caution.

You have lost nothing in reality because you didn't buy anything. Imagine if you had joined wonga and taken out a gold short at $1200; your ignorance and naivety saved you more than it hurt you 👍
As for trusting members in trades, its only a matter of time before someone is scammed on here, however I have not heard of any trouble yet buying or selling. Trading requires trust on both sides, taking someones opinion and using it as advice is another thing all together.

Just wondering why you trusted the 1 person over the handful that disagreed with him

Received from @Jamesd today. Been after this Half for a while...
 

Looks wonderful

Just over the moon with this💫

2 more fulls into the pile......

Chuffed to bits.  Cant stop looking at this beautiful coin and seeing how the light plays on the surface.  Just a lovely day to collect silver just for the hell of it.  Many thanks @PapaLazarou for such a totally perfect specimen.

Today I received these very sexy proof finish 10oz Britannia bar cases 😁. Seemingly more valuable than the 10oz bars themselves. Going forwards I plan to sell all my silver and gold so that I can focus on stacking the cases.
