bye bye $18 - smashed straight through it!

i can honestly see it reach £1000 some time next year - the pound doesn't have to fall very far for that to happen.

but silver is incredibly useful and its use is increasing year on year, out striping mining output. The superior electrical conductivity of silver is unsurpassed and plastics will never be able to beat that. more many industrial applications there is no substitute to silver.

ooooooooohh.... i just saw it hit 1099.1 - sooooo close

i agree completely. Now that the public know things can get worse it gives the CB's and gov's room to take more drastic action (like printy printy)

to be fair the fakes are pretty easy to spot. That fake looks terrible com[ared to the real one. I have 60 silver pandas and they are one of the nicest coins i have (all real btw).

although i'm not an expert i would think 1000 degrees is doubtful in a house fire - maybe in isolated hot spots but you have to be unlucky for it to be in the same place as your gold. smoke damage is nothing on gold - it can be cleaned off pretty easily with the right chemicals and won't effect the coins at all. once cleaned i doubt you could tell the difference.

ok, what just happened? gold and dow off a cliff! edit: ahh, london close.

silver is a good antibacterial but its not really the universal bacteria killer that a lot of people assume. There are many bacteria that are resistant to silver and a number of others that have developed a resistance. Its definitely useful but the way its talked about on the internet you would think it can kill 100% of bacteria all the time and that simply isn't true.

it must have been a nasty burn for him to be so angry with gold for all this time.

stupid question - what is the new york globex market and why does it open at this ridiculous time?

tell me about it - i still have some britannias i paid £726 each! :lol:

lets not forget that these inflation adjusted prices are based on official cpi's which have been heavily manipulated, especially in the last decade.

whats the all time high? $1030??

a strange time of day for gold to be rising?

as they are no longer legal currency, i assume not.

i also saw that they had only been formed this year - for a few hundred quid its not worth the risk imo.

i like the 1kg coins and wouldn't mind one of the new tigers - they are £100 more than when i last got one though

still up in pounds - the hedge is doing what its supposed to do!

did some bad news just happen in the US? employment figures out today?

let me know if you find any. i wonder if smarties tubes are wide enough?

very reliable.

thats a nice price to wake up to

being a chemist i use nitric acid all the time - i would NOT like to use it without a fumehood!!

lol - they're really prepared for trouble!
