G0ldfinger Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I feel the need to buy a nice stack of silver coins rather soon. The 2009 Libertads could be a candidate. Eagles and Maples are also similar in price. Hmm, yummyumm, real, physical silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6v6 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Looks like new stock has arrived. But bullion coins are now £18. [Maples/Eagle] Are you guys seriously paying nearly 100% over spot for these coins? (GM is nearly £9/oz at the moment, buy @£9.45) Am I missing something?

G0ldfinger Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Are you guys seriously paying nearly 100% over spot for these coins? Other coins are closer to £14. I might buy a few soon. But I have been concentrating on palladium and silver through GM recently. I would like to see lower premiums too. The COMEX simply has to catch up. Am I missing something? Financial meltdown?

HPCsoYESTERDAY Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Are you guys seriously paying nearly 100% over spot for these coins? (GM is nearly £9/oz at the moment, buy @£9.45) Am I missing something? tbh, your not really comparing like for like. If your buying bullion coins from a dealer and you are UK based then you have to fork out the premium + VAT, but, this is reflected in the sale price as well (see ebay UK for confirmation). However, as has been detailed by myself and ziknik on this thread, it is quite possible to buy physical close to spot (pre 1947 50% Silver coins) and hold or trade as you see fit. horses for courses and all that. Other coins are closer to £14. I might buy a few soon. But I have been concentrating on palladium and silver through GM recently. I would like to see lower premiums too. The COMEX simply has to catch up. CID have brits in at the mo and I don't expect this to last through to the summer. I am half hoping for a comex dip to pull down the physical price on these beauties to under £15 each - if so I will be buying a few btw, 6v6- case in point with the silver brits, look at the price these sell for on ebay......... edit - here's a nice whack of .925 sterling up for grabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyuiop Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 thats pretty expensive. He gave me an estimate of 13.60GBP for a Koala....CID has it at 14.77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chards have been very competitive with their new silver coin prices recently. Better than CID. They had Brits for £15.30 last time I phoned them.

dopamine Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Silver up, gold down just for the minute. Can't remember seeing this before - my kcast always shows either two little red arrows or two little green arrows. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember seeing this before - my kcast always shows either two little red arrows or two little green arrows. Any thoughts? during the last bout of gold selling off in early feb (from 875 to 800) silver was knocked down as well but came back stronger after each downward move. my take on it - the ratio is reverting to mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note today that base metals are up - so silver's resilience may be an artefact of industrial demand / consensus that a bottom in commodities has been reached, rather than a result of safe haven buying. Silver in that dual PM/industrial commodity role again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compounded Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Silver is being used in deodorants ! http://www.nivea.co.uk/products/show/26978 How silver kills bacteria. Bacteria and fungi have an active enzyme system on their surface that pumps oxygen into them - silver blocks this and they suffocate. We do not have or need this because our cells all live in a highly contolled environment which is high in oxygen - oxygen simply diffuses into our cells and so no active mechanism is needed. Anti virus - a virus is simply a piece of dna that takes over a cell turning it into a factory for more virus, usually in this process the cell reverts to a more primative form with the oxygen pump - it therefore becomes suceptible to silver. Some bacteria do become resistant to silver but this is much less of a problem than with antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azazel Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Silver is being used in deodorants ! http://www.nivea.co.uk/products/show/26978 I saw an advert on TV the other day about silver deodorant. It didnt say it contained silver, but then no adverts inform you about the products, only the brand. Most odd. Like that citroen car that turns into a robot and ice skates, what does it tell you about the car except what it cant do? Anyway, Im going to stick an eagle under one armpit and a maple under the other and a handfull of Britannias down the pants. I will report back on the results, or the wife will.
