£1500 to spend

[lightjaw]

So, I had a non fault car accident earlier this year.  My 1 year old car was written off and I had cuts and bruises on my arms and torso, with my arm having to be in a sling and brace for a week. My compensation has just been agreed (I only claimed for what was correct, I am not the kind of person to overegg something just to get money) and I now have £1500 to spend on shineys (rest going into my shares and... baby stuff...sigh).

I fancy a Fiji silver bar from stg maybe as I like poured bars, but any other suggestions for gold and silver?

Cheers

Babystuff can be realy expensive

I would save some for when it comes dips in the prices of gold and silver

Pandas are good valueholder

Go for what fancy you and you wont regret it (I hope)

Shame about the car mate, hopefully all is well and there is no long term damage after your accident. 

If you want silver then go for that, personally I like the kilo coin bars, but honestly if it was me with the money I would be putting it all into gold. Another ounce of royal mint gold stamped with a lion of England would be on the cards for sure and perhaps a couple of sovereigns to go with it  

However, I am actually tempted to buy some of the 2016 gram denominated pandas given this is the first year. Might not be a bad investment, even if the collectors market falls apart in a few years, they are not too far away from the spot price right now so downside is linked more to spot than premiums?

From where?

[Roy]

Yes, from where? Do tell!

I've found a great place where I can swap 8g Pandas for 3 x 1g Pandas

My mistake, having looked properly I see that the premiums on pandas are horrendous.

Is that a good deal, 8g for 3g? I understand the premium is higher on smaller coins, but 8 f 3!

That is for a 2016 30 gram silver panda.

the way the thread was shaping up, I assumed we were talking about gold pandas.

I think you'll find that 998 people on this forum would say "No"
