Price of Silver

2

Comments

  • I was looking at silver coins (Britania's to be exact) but was put off because they're subject to VAT, unlike gold coins. Certainly as an investment they're not too great because you're already 15% down on the sale price. The site I was looking at said that second hand silver coins are VAT free but that thery were difficult to get hold of and their quality was not guaranteed.

    Anyone got any clue where to buy second hand silver coins in decent nick?

    It's a deal General, or may I be so bold to call you Robin, seeing as we're to be business colleagues. Please give me your bank account details and any usernames/passwords (just to make sure the transaction goes without a hitch) and I'll wire the money.

    Anyone expect a pullback or is this the cheapest Silver will ever be again?

    I can say with 99.9% confidence silver will be cheaper than today at some point in the future

    Gold is going to the moon, Silver beyond to Pluto.

    Perhaps it gave up on the trip now Pluto is no longer a proper planet. Or maybe the satnav is directing it to Disneyland.

    Gold isn't fairing much better, not a great investment for those who bought at the peak.
