They've arrived at SilverTrader. I'd imagine Chards will be getting them shortly as well.

They are fantastic range. Haven’t got the white one though😢 Did pick up the 2oz

Just accept/take what's given. US data and 2021 stocks up +25%, gold down -4%, rebalancing to 50/50 had you selling some stocks to buy more ounces of gold. 2022 stocks down -20%, gold down -1% ... selling some gold to buy more stocks. 2023 stocks +26%, gold +13% ... selling some stocks to buy more ounces of gold. Helps average-out both stocks and gold, and with averaging in and out in general over many years ... you're more inclined to achieve the broad overall average outcome that is good-enough.

Small sample but I see this happening. I show my silver to folks and they want the random movie and cultural tat rather than the high quality germania or Perth mint stuff They basically force me to sell it to them, Donald Trump, Star Wars, Buffalos, cowboy rounds, Komsco stuff Una and her retarded lion who really should have eaten her by now. I get the feeling if i didnt allow them to buy Ganesha stackers they would have just nicked them instead 🤣 Crickets on britannias, kooks, germania, ASEs, the uneducated in metals want high premium Pokemons @treetop1280 is going to make us look like fools with his Star Wars collection, the ones from decent mints anyway not so much RM stuff 😟

There's a fair bit of resistance above the current level and towards $2480 but every new nominal ATH is a new resistance point and gold has been smashing resistance for fun lately The race is between a retrace to the low $2300s and $2500, with $2500 being base camp towards $2800 I like being fearful of $2800 rather than wishing for it. As is usually the case the thing I don't want to happen appears the most likely so $2800 it is I keep saying if we hit those levels over the summer months then gold is going to airmail peasants like me. It's terrible for the ordinary man but that seems to be the way of things this century. Those who bought fractional at lowish spot and low premiums could be laughing this time next year

All or nothing risk play. Better not to try conveying physical gold across international borders, its fungible. So OK you might have to bear a 10% hit to sell, electronic transfer the sale proceeds and re-purchase gold at the desired destination, but at least that's more certain than a maybe 100%, maybe 0%. If for whatever reason selling domestically isn't a option, perhaps becomes prohibited, then posting multiple small amounts separately is less inclined to potentially hit a 100% loss.

.....and @Sovhead bought his first dose.... After the first dose he'll never stop!

I think you've done pretty well there, @Sovhead. A very nice coin anyway, regardless of the price!

Perth all sold out now. I'll pick them up as and when. Not desperate enough for eBay.

Same for house, art ...etc. Even used to be the same for stocks in days of postal trades the broker often charged £100 (in back-then money) per trade, and the market maker would often widen bid/ask spreads to 10% or more levels. Internet/faster trading has facilitated tighter spreads/lower costs, but where more often you don't actually own the shares, the broker has them registered in their name. The indicated 10% round trip trade was 'one dealer' i.e. the more extreme case. Here's another example snapped during market trading hours A 3.3% instant round trip spread (buy and immediately sell back again) 1.47% above spot purchase spread -1.77% below spot sell-back spread and that's for a single coin, trade 10+ at a time and you'll often get a even better/tighter spread. Even with tighter stock trading costs to buy and immediately sell back £2000 of shares might cost two lots of £10 in brokers fees and perhaps a 0.5% market makers spread, £30 in total, 1.5%. And if held for a year when total returns are 5%, inflation is 5%, 0% real gain, you might be charged 20% tax on the £100 'gain' you made, whilst the stock fund manager might also take another 0.25% in fees.

They have been on the Perth mint website I’ve bought 3 of them direct. The latest one I got from apmex. There are a couple of overpriced ones on popular auction site.
