As the creator and owner of this forum I think DrB deserves a certain amount of control. As a prolific contributor, I think he just wants a bit of respect - like anyone else.

Yeah - what did you get?

Quite a simple solution to this one - Ask if you can return it if you take it to a dealer and they say it's not genuine...easy.

In what currency?

I heard that any other nominal gold coins with a face value are exempt too. Commemorative proof £5 crowns are my personal favourites (slightly larger than 1 oz coins) and are more desirable / nicer to own IMO than boring bullion. They often offer good value and the following benefits: - very difficult to fake - likely to be exempt from confiscation laws - produced in limited numbers (will always be desirable to collectors)

Nice to see some gold commentry priced in GBP for a change, on seeking alpha... http://seekingalpha.com/article/146209-gol...-remains-intact

You think gold has 'topped' then?

Why - when Supply/demand reasoning suggests the opposite? I don't get it.

I'm beginning to think we may have seen an intermediate term top at close to £700 and gold will not make any substantial gains is GBP this year... Time to start thinking about miners instead maybe? Or is there way to gain exposure to rising $gold using local currency?

The answer to my question may already be in this thread, but to save me trawling through, could anybody tell me... Are collectable gold proof coins with a face value; i.e 50p, £1, £2, £5 exempt from Capital Gains Tax like Sovereigns and Britannias?

Last time we had thin market trading over Xmas, PMs moved significantly higher...

So that's ether a (very) considerable rise in the PoS of 7500%(!), a BIG drop in the PoG, or somewhere between the two ??!

2.7% max buying charge for gold on GM - you won't get it in your hands for anywhere near that amount...

Correct. Bit risky IMO - any profits you make in gold could easily be wiped out whilst the $ falls and gold moves even higher...

Yawn...bored now....

Given the correlation between the POG in Euros and Dollars lately - I thought this might be useful info...Gold, Silver and Euros
