    The worrying thing is that Broon gets away with saying this. The majority of the population cant see through him. Also they are all up to their eyes in debt and so the 'low interest rates' waffle he keeps trotting out is what they want to hear.

     

    Yeah joined the exodus here a few weeks ago following the infamous HPC gold thread incident! Could not afford to miss the input from quality posters like pluto, Whoops', goldfinger et al.

     

    Cant say I have a great deal to offer the site in terms of valuable input. Just here to absorb the info.

     

    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.

    Ok, another quick question about CoinInvestDirect.com

     

    It's Saturday today, if I place an order, when will it arrive?

    There's only 4 working days between now and the Easter weekend, so would it be before or after the weekend?

     

    And I got as far as the checkout page, where I input my delivery address, but was a bit scared clicking the button underneath to complete the order. :lol:

     

    What happens after that? Is that the last screen? Have I completed my order at that stage?

     

    I'd like to get it delivered to my work address... does it get delivered by a courier company?

    Where's the option to add postal insurance? Or don't I need that if its being delivered by a courier?

    Which courier company is used? What hours do they deliver between? Hopefully they don't turn up at a business address too early or too late in the day when no-one's there!

     

    And when they invoice me, how do I pay that? Do they supply an account number for me to do a bank transfer (via online banking)? Or do I phone them with my debit card details? Their T&C says I've only got 3 days to pay them after receiving the invoice... is the invoice in the package with the coins, or mailed separately?

     

    Or is it mailed first, and I have to pay first before they even dispatch my order????

     

    So many questions... hopefully all the right answers forthcoming to put me at ease... ;)

     

    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.

    I'm not going to look at any other source when that moment arrives. I want to see it here first. :D

     

    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.

    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

    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!

    I have only very few silver coins. Most of my silver is via GoldMoney. I didn't know old UK silver (scrap) coins were VAT free. Should really look into this.

     

    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.

    I have been thinking about the old silver coins too, but I have only been buying eagles, Britannia's, maples bullion bars. Which old coins do you suggest are the ones to look out for?

     

    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.

    What are peoples thoughts on pre 1947 50% Silver Bullion, shillings, sixpences, crowns etc

     

    It really seems the cheapest way to buy silver bullion in the uk as you can always get it for spot or just under. There is also no chance of picking up some fake chinese bar of silver as its all easily recognisible english coinage. No VAT like britannias. eagles, maples etc.

     

    Was wondering on what a refiner would give you for it. What are the costs to them to remove the 50% that isnt silver.

     

    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.
