ram1964 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thinking about investing in bullion and wonder if anyone has any experience and can give any advice. Best traders to buy from ,what too look out for ,does and donts? Done a little research and probably more interested in buying bars rather than coins, thinking of both gold and silver . Any advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 A mate of mine is into this he uses https://www.chards.co.uk/ I can't remember all his comments but he did tell me to watch out for "bargins" on ebay described as gold bar 500 mils which is apparently a way of saying gold plated. ram1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 i think you are sensible to invest in gold, i wish i could. Icelanders cannot buy gold at market price, VAT is added to the purchase. i think that's outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was decades before Iceland was settled and it was silver. Anyway, the vikings were just concerned for the souls of the monks who had fallen to greed and amassing treasure to displease their Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice appreciated Coins, British ones at least, don't attract CGT when you come to sell them, which makes them slightly more expensive than bars to purchase. Whatever you do, make sure you're buying physical gold, not one of those companies that buy gold and hold it on your behalf. ram1964, Zag zig and ramit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I thought this thread was going to be about the post-apocolyptic barter system we anticipate using in the next 15-20 years after technology has failed us and all societal norms have been swpet away by the plagues and famines that ravage the world. In which case I'd probaly say best not buy rare coins on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fake by the way. £72 grand actually, and even then some experts were not convinced as it was number seven of the half dozen or something! EBay often refers to a coin as a ‘restrike’ and puts a hyphen in the condition box. A dead giveaway is when you can buy more than one! Caveat emptor!
