    sixgun got a reaction from silenceissilver in Why is silver sold SO HIGH over spot in the UK?   
    If i were you and interested in picking up a bit of precious metal (a good idea) i would start with gold. 
    Pick up sovereigns and half sovereigns. They sell easily, there are no taxes on them, including CGT when you sell. 
    Once you have found your feet then start looking into silver.
    Novices often pick up the wrong silver and end up disappointed and can drop out. No need for that if you kick off with sovereigns.
    Yes you seem to be paying a lot for a little coin. Little coins that look like pennies. Easy to move, easy to hide, easy to move across borders, easy to sell.
    That's why 9 out of 10 members recommend beginners start with gold sovereigns.

    There was a thread about this topic maybe a couple of years ago. Some people get hot under the collar. Personally i have something of a morbid curiosity for such things. i am sure i have some.
    If you are interested in these coins for whatever reason, i would collect them. Why not? No reason at all. The more some people get hot under the collar the more i would collect them.

    The issue with this bar is it is it has no markings on and it is pretty big.
    Pretty big means it has a pretty decent price tag to it.
    An issue with larger bars is potential buyers wonder if it is all silver and with a bar this size plenty could be lurking inside.
    It might test as silver on the outside but what is deep inside?
    Certainly if you want some cash it is worth selling but will buyers trust it is all silver? You may well find buyers are distrustful and unless they can access the bar and test it before buying they might give it a pass. Why take the chance with a lump of silver like that? 
    A refiner might take it, a dealer who has all the kit to test it they might be interested.

    The Silver Jubilee crown on the right was minted as a silver proof which obviously has value, the cupro-nickel are junk.
    The 1981 Diana Charles crown - again also minted as a silver proof and cupro-nickel. i expect your coins are cupro-nickel. 
    The 1935 George v & Mary 'silver jubilee' medal - i expect this is a Middlesex one. i have seen the style of medal front you show which is Sterling - in this case it will be hallmarked.

    i didn't know it was cool to say i have "physical gold or silver."
    i lost all mine in a tragic boating accident.
    Many here keep the metal themselves. Particularly if you have gold it is very easy to hide if you think about it.
    Gold and silver are money. They have been for thousands of years. If they weren't, they wouldn't be manipulated like they are. The economic and financial data in the last couple of days should send gold and silver much higher but you see them falling off a cliff. These are the desperate thrashings of a dying animal. 
    Property and stocks are in general in a bubble. Many of them will blow up. The same goes for much of the crypto. It is a craze. If the crypto token isn't part of a proper business which is starting to or actually doing business, it will fizzle out. It is like the dot com boom - lots of ideas going nowhere and on close inspection they were half baked ideas.
    When inflation takes off, then property will likely take off. We will have to see what happens when furlough finishes and reality kicks in.

    @sixgun hey mate, same thing happened to me, I lost my gold/silver stack because of a robbery at our old apartment. Been quite a trauma since then because I've always had a fear of losing physical gold & silver ever since.. Recently though since crypto has boomed off, I started looking into gold & silver backed crypto tokens, and it caught my interest because I'm able to hold my gold & silver in a digital hardware wallet, and can either liquidate or redeem whenever I want! Look into it mate! I bought mine at Aurus, but there are other options as well

    You own your deeds.
    The bank has a lien on your deeds.
    God gave man dominion over all the earth.
    If the bank went pop someone will pick over the bones and take possession of the lien. i guess it might be available to buy at a decent price and then you could discharge it.
