  1. Thank you. After a flurry of research I loaded up on krugers (non-vintage) this afternoon. Expecting to take a 20% hit over the coming weeks but a risk premium worth taking to secure the physical asset in case something unexpected blows up this week. Yay - I like shiny stuff
  2. Almost certainly. But only for a few weeks until the nonsense is realised. Besides - trouble afoot in the UK methinks. Lots of hushed up bi-partisan meetings in #10 today (allegedly).
  3. Didn't ask - only interested in emergency coinage for personal consumption. I'd give them a call - really nice helpful people.
  4. It's in a little office just by the Savoy Hotel. You have to sign in at reception to get into the lift to go to their office. Lots of visitations. Not sure why it was busy, but it sure was. Out of stock of everything other than non-vintage Krugers.
  5. £540. Happy to have paid slightly over the odds to take delivery today. Equally happy to rideout a 20% fall if the markets rally. But NOT HAPPY to find myself out of the market when I truly need it. That point feels soon so I'm in... Risks to the downside are trivial compared to the upside, IMHO.
  6. I bought some krugers this afternoon. ATS out of stock of everything other than Krugers - and looking at their sign-in book they've had a very very very busy day...
  7. Newbie here looking to invest moderately heavily in gold to protect myself from some of the coming chaos. Looked at ATS Bullion in the Savoy in London - seem reputable but difficult to find reviews online about "shopping" experience. Any views on here? I'm also curious as to the "best" gold to buy. The debate between bars and coins is interesting but for my purposes does it matter? I think I only care about the buy/sell spread at the dealer and getting the 4x9s gold at the best price. From my research this seems to be US Eagles. I'm UK based and want to stay under the inland revenue's radar (therefore just £5k for me, £5k for my wife initially).
  8. Novice here and a convert from HPC. Does the type of coin actually matter? Surely an Oz of gold is an Oz of gold and providing it's in a universally recognised format (and trusted as such) then the actual physical characteristics don't matter? The reason I ask is that the spreads on buy/sell of physical gold at my local dealer vary quite markedly. US Eagles seem chapest on both counts and that's what I'm minded to take home. Have I missed something?
