These idiots still don't see it as the long term hold. Trying to flip cold bars for credit card points... for what? A free flight?

"It's not like trading stocks." I buy £1000 of shares, they drop 10% to £900, next day they rise 10% to £990 so I've lost £10 I buy $1000 of shares, they rise 10% to £1100, next day they drop 10% to £990, Either way, I lose £10 ! ! !

Who knew 🤷‍♂️

Royal Australian Mint for this one - it's cute but comes in a massive box for some reason. I'm going to have to give up buying new coins at this rate because no room to store the boxes

Never mind that, how is ED???

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this would be the first proof version of the Waterloo, previous versions having been b/u. I like the 2015 but imagine this in a proof finish would be a treat - sharper strike more defined. With all the details of this medal it might be a positive change.

Happy birthday all sold

It most definitely is.

I have written to the RM about both issues (2-coin format and size) but of course they don’t discuss upcoming issues so I’m not really going to hear from them.

Totally agree and I’ve said as much in the other topic. Not forgetting that previous releases were also larger in diameter, closer to the original, and certainly better sized to appreciate such an intricate design.

This has been nagging me, so I have written to the RM, questioning the 2-coin format, and the size, neither of which make sense. @BackyardBullion - this topic could make for interesting content for a video. 🙂

The last 3 Perth bars

Depends on what you choose

How much is delivery on them?

Both. Dealers have to register with HMRC. Dealers have to take anti money laundering measures ... record name, address, id (passport/driving licence) ...etc. of anyone who buys/sells more than £5K/year with the dealership, even if in smaller amounts several visits/trades ... so commonly dealers always ask for/record that data. i.e. there are multiple rule sets for HMRC/VAT/AML that have to be complied with. Anti privacy is rife nowadays. Having details of for instance how much/when you bought/accumulated gold, and a photo and your name/address is wide open to being sold on to the black market. It's not even as though that data is secure, the state often loses large amounts of data. The concept is to ultimately have every penny accounted for, for each individual, where money was obtained from and spent, that alongside facial and number plate recognition technology, internet and calls, geolocation etc. enables each inmate in the open prison to be closely monitored, and for micro-fines to be deployed. You crossed a crossing before the green-man - your electronic money account has been fined £50. You've bought too much red meat this week ... fined £100. As part of the drive to that state control all banks have been threatened to report all suspicious transactions, or else be fined, maybe lose their licence - the obvious outcome is that banks report all transactions - as desired by the state.
