My new entry, finally my first "Man" 😍😍😍

Exactly right. Always wise to wear gloves when handling nice coins. I asked my missus to buy me some and she got me a lovely pair.
 

I seriously doubt you will be able to see any return of invest on such pieces. That is not to say shouldn't buy it, if you personally like it. Guilty pleasures in silver are relatively cheap.
I always think if I concentrate on what I'm stacking for, I can stray off my ways occasionally. You have a 100 ounce foundation, if I recall correctly, a special ounce here or there won't hurt you. If you don't fall into a habit of getting every shiny (read: overpriced) thing out there, thus reducing the substance of your stack, you should be fine.

We'd never noticed... 😎
 
 
🤣

If it does, I'll be buying...
The last time I bought gold as low as that is more than ten years in the past.
My suggestion: read through the forums, put more trust in the experience of the posters than in technical analysis.
Buy gold for stability, not for speculation, don't go all in, get a feeling for it.

P.S. 10 properties isn't that profitable with all the regs and taxes..... They have mortgages too.

50k on hookers and cocaine, then do something frivolous with the rest😄
I wouldn’t draw down unless you have a strong proposition mate. I was considering drawing from my mortgage to get a wind turbine. Reckon it would pay for itself in around  8 years, especially if fuel prices keep going up. I’m really on the fence, especially as noticed the early repayment charge on the new mortgage offer sits at 5% for the 5 year term. Always check the details. 

Yes I realize this thread is likely going to be everyone posting numismatics, but have you seen the premiums on these?  My guilty pleasure:
 
 

Work calls on vacation days, a beginning cold, taking a wrong train, train delays in both directions, a credit card threatening not to work - many could be the tales to tell of today's journey, but that is not for here and not for now...

I am living in the middle of the northern part of Germany in general and in the middle of nowhere specifically. The town I'm living in has a couple of supermarkets, but nothing that would yield more than Euro currency coins when looking for anything connected to our hobby. To get my fix, I either have to buy online, which I do not like, or leave to go on journeys to places where I can buy anonymously and then vanish. To the west the Ruhrgebiet beckons, an urban sprawl that can be circled by train easily and houses a multitude of pawn shops, jewelers, coin and bullion dealers. To the east lies my home city where I go regularly, even though my fiancee is living in a distant land at the moment. Here I can visit a branch office of one of the major precious metal dealers. Even farther to the east lies a town that houses a brick and mortar presence of a large online dealer as well as of one of the best pawn shop chains around.
Going 'home' for my birthday made the decision easy, and I made a shopping list that included a tube of silver Britannia coins (I blame you, my british friends). As the large precious metal dealer does charge full VAT on EU silver bullion coins, and the online dealer does not, a plan was made to go to the town farther east and look for some LMU trade coins while I was there as well. I also wanted to get a first hand impression of Umicore silver bars, which are not available in my home city, as the large precious metal dealer only sells his own bars. The voyage would include arriving at the town of destination then go to the place that has a convenient triangle of an ATM of my bank (an online bank whose ATMs are few), the online dealer's branch office and the pawn shop within walking distance. Plan b in the case of not finding anything that interests me, would be to spend money at the precious metal dealer's branch office upon returning home.
Destiny struck in a variety of ways and I found myself back at the central railway station of my home city, with a huge headache, much too late into the day, and no trains leaving to where I wanted to go. This was when I decided to stuff it and just see if there was something nice to be had at my plan b. After raiding a nearby ATM I arrived. We are looking at the impersonal branch office of Degussa (I may elaborate later) from the other side of the street, and at the polished rooms on the inside:


The weak hope of Degussa finally having managed to reimport Britannias from outside the EU, thus being able to use a loophole and only needing to charge the lower VAT of 7% failed, so I asked to see their LMU 20 francs. I was presented a mid size compartment box to discuss about and to choose from. Initially I asked for the french Rooster (Marianne here) or the Angel and would have settled for these two, or any of these and an older swiss Helvetia (I have a lot of newer Vrenelis already). Seeing that Belgium and Italy would be available however and a certain lack of cheap Britannias made me reconsider my silver spendings and I switched to the idea of getting one of each of the first LMU countries, France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland. I was a bit unprepared, so no idea if I made the right choices. I realized I will have to read a lot more about these coins. I took the only french Rooster, and the only swiss Helvetia, one of a multitude of belgian Leopolds and settled for an italian Umberto over an Emanuele II.
Here are the obverses:

and the reverses:

French Rooster 1910
Belgian Leopold 1877
Italian Umberto 1882
Swiss Helvetia 1890
The difference in hue is not just in the photo and shows the difference in copper versus silver content for alloying - I hope. These are basically bullion grade coins, I have not calculated the amount paid over spot so far. I just wanted to get the pictures out and will put down further thoughts once my medication kicked in, at some time this weekend...

The most beautiful kilo bar in the world has arrived yesterday, but only today I was at home to see it.I  love it!
Thank you, @SilverAngel for your hard work and passion!
Thank you also for the little and beautiful gift!
Thank you for doing everything to be perfect, with no limits in making your customers 100% happy! A five stars silver art!🤗
I have started with your pictures, because my camera is too old and my photographic skills are at a very low level.😁
I love you, guys!
