Erm gold standard.... This is the definition of pointing out the obvious.

I love how you engage with your audience in the comments section.

How about the 1980's?

New sub, great information, thanks for sharing 👍

With me it's all about the premium 3 4 5 per cent I want on principle pay more . All this limited bull don't, just a cheap trick to fool the naive .

Your observations, comments & thoughts on this matter were excellent & well reasoned. Thank you.

Just swapped a Charles Coronation sovereign for a 1964 Gillick (Young Head). I am very happy with that.

So, for a complete neophyte, which gold coins would you suggest buying for a long-term safe investment?

Please help me with this question!!!! Should I get a proof 2023 coronation half sovereign from the royal mint for £385, or get a 2023 full sovereign from atkinsons for £400, or get a proof quarter sovereign 2023 from royal mint for £225??? Please help and thanks so much! :)

'Promo SM' 😪

I got 2 of them and they don't look pink and you may want to check the weight in the listings on the royal mint before you get any

Gold was the money in the past. The commodities loss value against money in deflation.

Bang on point. I really don't like that pinky/copper ish colour of the "new" Sovereigns. Actually, those minted around 2000 are still accteptable, they ain't that bad still. But the recent years... no, thank you Royal Mint. The same applies to the Krugerrands - the coins from 70's look really nice. And the recent ones look just bad - red copper ish colour. They don't look like gold coins AT ALL

1937 were King Edward, not George :)

Indeed a very important video - Many thanks!

I think you are spot on. We have seen 2 Massive Silver Spikes, I think in 1980 and 2011 and the spike literally lasted a couple of days and within weeks it was back to its 'normal price'. Personally, I have already split out my Silver stack, the first half is what I'm keeping which are a couple of tubes each of Brits, Maples, Phili's, Krugs, Eagles and Noahs Arks and my collectable 10 and 2oz Queens and Tudor beasts and some Perth Mint stuff. The rest, (excess Brits, Maples etc.) and all the bars and bits and pieces are going and trading them for Gold and maybe a bit of cash to hide under the mattress. Silver for me was good when I started collecting in 2016 , buying most VAT free from Germany but since 2020 its a waste of time and money. If we can get spot Silver at £23 I will be happy to sell. Its amazing all those RUclipsrs saying $100 Silver 24 months ago have gone quiet and only talk about Gold. Silver has been manipulated to death and I doubt will get to £30 before the decades out....buying Silver has been a tough lesson!!

Dealers like it more when you sell one metal for another in the same transaction , not just for dollars .You make a valid point . I was lucky enough to have bought most of my metal in 2015 , so i have wiggle room on price when i go to sell.

Wise words. Unless the silver hoard to offload market can build a larger participant base, it won't be able to grow the per ounce price. There's always industrial use, but we're in an economic contraction phase.

This is actually quite a good point you know

Thx

Failing confidence in gov't debt/central bank currencies is what drives yields higher. Investors won't buy the debt unless they perceive the yields will compensate them for the risk. That environment is generally positive for gold demand. Only after the yields rise enough that they exceed any perceived risk do we see demand for gold wane. Perhaps this may be "cherry picking" but I remember the rise in rates in the mid 1970's and the correlation with rising gold and silver prices. It took rates in excess of 18% to shake precious metals savers and commodity speculators out of the market and back into bonds. Even though gold and silver prices fell in 1981, rates continued to rise for a few more years. We are in the early stage of increasing yields as some central banks have not yet arrived at the party. I would argue this process will be very bullish for gold in the near term. I see no elected (or potentially elected) officials in the West who will inspire confidence in the system. That weight will have to be fully carried by higher yields.

Once they've liquidated their silver, they'll have to move their gold. As for the silver in the market, I agree that the consumer side is releasing stock into the market, but with discretionary spending down, so is industrial demand for silver being supplied into the market by the miners, which subsequently has nowhere to go, causing a glut on that end too. We'll see what this middle east thing does, I hope it doesn't mess with spot, although even if it does you'll be seeing below spot deals coming along.

Great analysis as always

This is really interesting!! I think it could be a good time to buy silver now then

Hi Gold Analyst UK! I love your analysis, very thorough! 😎I just subscribed to your channel!

Sovereigns don’t have CGT and there frictional low value.

Really enjoyed the video and subscribed. Re: Truss, she had the right idea but was outed by the "Bloc" who have put in their Puppet Sunak. We have had the same economic policy for well over 25yrs which has failed abysmally. They are expecting a different outcome from the same tired old fiscal Policy....................... And they blame Truss for the shtf. Couldn't make it up.

Point 3 is really good insight. Thanks

It look like rose gold in colour. Which means its a shade of pink.

Appreciate this is 5 months after the video was released but seen a few of these graded pf70 proof selling at similar or slightly lower than release prices.

I bough both 2022 Memorial Sovereign, the QEII and the KCIII, because the premium was just 1 euro higher than random circulated Sovereign. I'm fine with the pink color, in fact, the more I look at it, the more I like it, very shiny. Overpaying 1 euro in premium is a symbolic price for the possibility of increased collectible interest in these coins. I must say that it's weird the premium gap between Memorial and standard sovereign basically disappeared on my favorite bullion dealer.

Hi Gold Analyst UK! I just subscribed to your channel! 😎Nice video!

Is it because there’s a shortage of Silver, so they need to add more copper than they have in the past?

Maybe the volatility of the sovereign is less than the half because there are more buyers/interest in the sovereign than the half. It's the main coin in the sovereign series. The half sovereign maybe is of less interest in comparison and therefore a more `risky` coin compared with the full, hence higher volatility.

I’ve bought some of these sovereigns as it has Charle III on them. I don’t think he will be around long so they will become rare.

The GSR is based on the ratio of two spot values. However, calculating the GSR based on how much it costs to buy an ounce of gold vs the cost of an ounce of silver can be considerably lower OR how much you get selling an ounce of gold vs selling an ounce of silver, yields a higher GSR. Reality has consistently made silver a poorer "investment".

In 1 year, you should do a video about how your advice worked / failed. We all know its tough to predict markets, ive watched a good few youtubers old videos and seen how they got the markets wrong. I think youve given solid advice here.

Fundamentally, it is down to the individual. All I know is I have made more from graded coins than bullion.

I would add I personally do not advocate unallocated ETF or other hybrids of the paper. For me the rule of if you do not hold it you do not own it rings true.

As a chartered fellow of a major banking institute I concur with the thrust of your argument. A lot of economics is still dominated by Keynesian philosophy. And many economists haven't a clue about money real money that is. I am bullion 45% numismatic graded 45% and semi 10%.

Have to disagree. Fractional reserve banking will ultimately fail. If you are just buying virtual gold, it’s essentially the same system, but a different asset. When the financial system implodes, I want the real McCoy, not a promissory note worth diddly. Just my view.

Excellent argument, but that chair you’re sitting in is doing you no favors my good man.

Thanks 👍

Who made you an expert talking about Russian coins? The Russian gold roubles are considered "Lamborghinis" of coin minting. Intricate, hard to mint, made by hand design makes these coins super special and quite unique. With mintmaster initials marked on each coin. There is a sufficient and highly trackable history on each mint and/or mintmaster, and therefore, each coin. Although, each coin seems to look the same - they are all different versions and super rare. Collectors, who are worth their salt, have been hunting these coins since the bottom of gold market in 1999/2000. Thoughout this bullmarket "from depeciating paper to valuable things", the Russian coin market has been much more stable than price of gold itself. Having a lower "Beta" than the ungerlined metal of these coins. Have prices of Russian gold/silver coins declined in the past 20 years, - yes, of course. It was a perfect time to accumulate a rare unique asset (coin by coin) from these so called "weak hands". I agree there is a new found demand from the Russian buyers, but this demand find its fundementals in new wave of nationalism and desire for the past Russian greatness when the country actually was a true European Empire.

2003 I bought my £50,000 house it would have cost 240 ounces of gold, 18 years later my Fathers house sold for £120,000 exact same house style, same area, now only needed 80 ounces to buy.

Krugerrand is also somewhat pink and all these coins are bought for the gold value alone.

If the colour is the issue why not just strip the first layer of copper off using heat and pickle?

I for one will never be purchasing gold via Ebay, too many shonks for me! I do use a coin broker who looks after me. We rent a suite from the PO in Australia.
