    Hi
    Have browsed this site for a while now as a UK stacker. I started buying in 2000 and remember complaining I was paying over 12 for a 1oz silver coin. Was being ripped off if I paid more than 105 for a 10oz bar. Would not touch a bullion grade sovereign if it was 60 or more. How they were the days. Did I make on my stack?? Sadly no I was very silly and sold the lot when I got married.
    I have had to put the good old days out if my head and stop with the what if scernerio as I buy in a totally new market. However even at these prices I believe there is room to secure against what is happening in the world. Got a lot harder to buy the metals at realistic prices and avoid the fakes. However when i put a deal together and recieve my parcel I feel kinda secure. Great site and look forward to joining in.

    Welcome. I missed those days but my mum talks about the gold coins she used to get as Christmas presents from work when she was in the UK.
