Hence why I say buy Sovereigns and hide up!!! Ever fancied being one of the dealers on Dickinsons real deal Adam?. I would love a go at that so I could tell those greedy old fucker's to jog on. What get's my goat is when the dealer has overpaid 50 quid more than the independent valuation and these greed old scroungers are still begging for the dealer to drop another tenner in the pot.

Mad Slasher McGurk Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Gold is going to be huge in years to come, the trend for the forseeable future is clear to see - it's currency devaluation and debasement and it's global, QE to infinity and interest rates are never going back to nominal ever again, only today Trump is tweeting about how the Fed should be going to negative interest rates. The argument against gold was that it never returned any interest or dividend but today neither does savings in the bank. Having said this you are better off with platinum and palladium if you want a more honest price discovery as gold and silver are manipulated to the downside by the criminal banking cabal who don't bother with platinum and palladium as they are not historic monetary metals, it's only when the next banking crisis comes and they lose their grip that the price is going to skyrocket. The dream scenario is a currency reset and a revaluation of gold, in the past it went from £15 to £200 and from £200 to £1000 and if it's to be revalued against FIAT debt today given the massive debt increase after the 2008 bank bail outs it would need to go to over £20,000 an oz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a peep mate, Q was posting on 8chan and they tried to link that to all the mass shootings and get it closed down. The good news is the bet is open ended and even if the current Pope does not stand down any time soon as long as the next pope is black you collect.

Then the war to get 8chan banned began and Brexit took over everything. Perhaps I just have too much time on my hands lol, the pope is 82 and has Parkinsons and there are only 2 possible replacements that are black, one is the 5/1 fav and the other is a 50/1 outsider so it's not like a complete no hoper even if it turns out to be BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was collecting the 50p but I stopped because I'm getting the feeling the Royal Mint are kicking the arse out of it now, every week they are releasing another series, is it Peter Pan that's coming next? Not sure on the Peter Pan. They have released a Paddington at St Pauls Cathedral today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighty45 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Interesting to see so many people are also collectors. @adamuk I do not know to much about the material itself as prefer the actual coins. But there are a few Youtube Silver Stackers i follow and they have been talking for sometime now about the crazy prices to import Silver. A few of them are predicting the Silver price could well rocket once Brexit is finally sorted but like I say I do not really understand all that side of it. It is funny because that is the main point this guy has with the Royal Mint. He applied to become a Royal Mint distributor, Royal Mint put it through a due diligence lasting a year and then declined it. They said they would supply him a list of wholesalers he could buy from. They only gave him one and that was MNI in the Netherlands. So think about that, mint produce a coin, sell it to MNI, he buys from MNI they ship it to him, he then sells and ships it out, huge carbon footprint. It then turns out that ChangeChecker have an exclusive with the Mint, although they deny this. Meaning CG get it on the day of release, can naturally sell it cheaper as they are not shipping it abroad etc. So the Mint are now threatening him with legal action over calling himself a Royal Mint Distributor. I may not be 100% on all of the above but that is roughly it in a nutshell. Then purely to wind them up a bit more he has decided to now put into circulation several 100 coins not meant for circulation. If anyone has any Kew Gardens they are prepared to sell please drop me a message. This is like the Holy Grail for me, not in a position to buy for a couple of weeks but 100% will buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_B_123 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have been collecting for about 4-5 years, mainly through change as I spend cash 95% of the time. I too am missing a Kew gardens, through just change seems almost impossible =( General rule of thumb, the Olympic ones, Kew Gardens and a few of the distinctive £2 coins are worth a decent amount. The new 10p pieces are also pretty rare, I have about 8 of them through change. If you (or any one) have any decent Olympic ones I can swap or buy let me know. I've also got pretty much at least 1 extra of all of the 50ps of the last year or two (except the gold / uncirculated / coloured ones) if anyone needs any 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blampy Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 These are the ones I have think they just the general run of the mill ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you will see what the coin is currently selling for. Anyone can list a coin for £100 but it doesnt mean it will sell. Here is a few 50ps Kew Gardens £80-£120 Olympic Football ( offside rule) £8-£10 Olympic Wrestling £7-£10 They are coins you can find in your change, then there are several coins not intended for circulation that go for more but i prefer the circulated coins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are predicting this one will rise in the future. I can not see it myself as it is fairly common. Until the mint release mintage figures we wont know for sure but i would be very surprised if it rises much more. No worries, the Kew is a great investment, will only keep rising in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The sherlock 50p one seems a little more scarce than some of the newer designs. You could probably cash in for about £3-£4 now I reckon while people are still after it. I think lighty is slightly over on the price of the 50ps @Blampy, I'd take about 50p off the cost of his predictions above personally, but no doubt the odd person on ebay might go that high on a few. R. E. Your £2 coins, most of them are the general run of the mill ones (just over face value) The 1807 one I feel is a little rarer, maybe £3—£3.50, and finally your Shakespeare one is one of 3 Shakespeare designs. I find most of those designs relatively rare and reckon you could get £4-£5 if you were lucky on that one. Here's most of my Rarer 50's and £2's, again most not worth much more than double face value 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
