Brown, probably the biggest fool/criminal in British history. Selling the nations wealth built up over hundreds of years for pennies, whilst leading his people a merry dance into massive debt. At the time I was ignorant of gold and it's significance. Now it just makes me angry that he was allowed to get away it. Brown should hung, drawn and quartered. Sorry, rant over.

Hi chris, Good to see you here. I see your popular poll about the popular gold thread got moved on hpc. Never mind I think you'll like it here.

Anybody tried this yet? For an experiment have begun inviting my customers to pay me in gold or silver, no takers yet, no one has got any. kb

Can't see a reply so I'll give you my experience. 1)Ordered in Euros by mistake on the Tuesday 2)Eventually found thier invoice in my junk mail on the Friday 3)Rang them and said I wanted to pay but not in Euros. 4)I went to HSBC and deposited £ in their account 4.45pm (Just in time before the bank closed) 5)Notified them of payment by E-mail 6)They confirmed release on the Monday 7)UPS delivered 10.00am Wednesday Hope that helps. kb

I would like to be here if, no, when it goes through, but i have to go, I 've got a 3 year that needs feeding. I'll look at the rockets later. kb

Just don't like them, I prefer my old crowns, florins etc. kb

Took delivery of my first and last batch of 1oz silver philharmonicas. Too shiny and no 'ting' when struck. Not my ting, I'm going back to pre 47. kb

Hadn't seen the second thread. Meaty bear food. Will have to look out for his posts! kb

Taken from an article on bulliondesk.com The potential off take of physical silver from the widespread use of RFID technology is obviously highly dependent on the performance of the market and the adoption of the technology. Our current projections are summarised below. These volumes are by no means going to replace the decline in silver off take from the photographic industry, but, unlike the photographic industry, RFID technology does not lend itself to silver recycling. As most of these tags will form part of packing and collection will prove difficult, it is unlikely that RFID tags will be collectable on a scale large enough for commercially viable recycling. Moreover, research suggests that RFID tags do not affect the paper recycling process, which means there will be no need to strip off the tags prior to recycling. Rather surprisingly though, some businesses are planning to buy used RFID tags to re-programme and resell, potentially at a discounted rate. The Estimated RFID sales Tags billion/year mg Ag/tag kg Ag/year Moz Ag/year 2007 1.91 10.9 20,819 0.67 2008 4.31 10.9 46,979 1.51 2009 6.71 10.9 73,139 2.35 2010 9.11 10.9 99,299 3.19 2011 11.51 10.9 125,459 4.03 2012 13.91 10.9 151,619 4.87 2013 16.31 10.9 177,779 5.72 2014 18.71 10.9 203,939 6.56 2015 21.11 10.9 230,099 7.4 2016 23.51 10.9 256,259 8.24 2017 25.79 10.9 281,057 9.04 Source: IdTechex.com 8 | The silver book | January 2008 Fortis/VM Group danger is that silvers current high price could also result in thrifting and substitution in this end use of the metal. The development of conductive polymers could replace silver but at the moment the cost of the polymers is far greater than silver, at $200/gram, and commercial production is still a long way off. On balance it is likely that the costs of passive RFID tags will tumble over the next five years as their use becomes more widespread and the manufacturers of RFIDs compete for greater market share. RFIDs will become a prominent player in the world of inventory and logistic control. The extent to which they grow will depend on the benefits the technology brings to those who use it. Silver will without doubt benefit and we have included this source of demand in our projected supply/demand balance That's a lot of unrecycled silver! kb

Cgnao started a thread about this on wHoresPricksCrap this evening. Does cgnao know we're here? kb

We've got highs in Platinum, gold, copper etc. Silver is yet to wake up. kb

I couldn't resist buying some of those 'fresh' philharmonicas this morning, £13.00 per troy ounce. I really must make more of an effort not to pay over spot. kb

I try to buy a mix of all the british denominations. I don't care if they are really worn provided they are recognisable. Some coins are rare and if in good condition fetch higher than spot price. I avoid these. I am prepared to pay up to 5% over spot but often get it for less. Gold, I buy sovs and Krugs. kb

I've been buying pre 1920 silver coins for the higher silver content. I do not intend to refine it or sell it. I am preparing for when we go back on the gold standard and silver will be for everyday use. Gold will be far to valuable to walk down the road with. kb

ah here you all are. Already up to 20 page. The gold thread is dead , long live the gold thread. kb
