So this is the bar I bought - And didn't technically pay for it, the money came from an online website. Will get photos of me holding it when it comes back. It was £7.99 and have got my eye on another bar. A 1 Gram bar.
Congrats. £7.99 seems like an ok price for it if it included shipping. I just choke at that because I remember not too long ago paying that type of price for Silver American Eagles (one ounce of silver). Ack how things have changed!
Yes that was all in cant wait for it to come back. Also my safe come back today its nothing special I only paid £45 for it. I need to get it screwed down now.
Nor me but i put money, passports and other valuables in there and I feel much safer doing so. Its worth it in the end.
Nice! Glad to see someone actually posting up their investments! I grabbed a few gram bars the other day. I do a little at a time as well. I already have a safe, although not a Heavy Duty one. Mostly just has papers in it, but some treasury bonds and some silver reside in their too.
The only reason I bought it was for the bullion I'll be investing in and our passports and any cash to large just to lay around the house. Ill get photos of the actual bar and safe when the bar comes back and the safe is installed.
That is indeed a shiny bar. The raccoon in me wants to have a load of it now. I'm pretty sure that's a Canadian bar, as well. Don't know why though. How exactly did you go about purchasing it? I'm quite interested in buying bullion but I really don't know where to start.
The maple leaf is the Canadian national symbol, so that is probably why you're thinking it's Canadian. They probably put that on there to confuse people into thinking it's an official product of the Canadian National Mint. Canada does mint bullion coins, including one called the Silver Maple Leaf, but it looks like this.....
I agree, .999 silver is .999 silver. I don't know why they put maple leaves on it, could have been anything I guess.
There are a few others there too but were like 30 - 50p dearer and different designs so I went for this.
Of course. That cycle of BS they call inflation. I love how prices go up but wages don't - it's getting to the point they can charge whatever they want for anything you have to buy. If gasoline was ten dollars a gallon, people would still have to buy it. I'm far enough away from the nearest town that I'll be screwed royally if gas prices go above four dollars, but still have to buy it to get back and forth between school. That's why investing is such a good idea - if you get into a good steady rising product early, you should be able to cash out exponentially later on down the road.
So we can buy a bar like your with online money... Thanks for the information... I will try to buy one too...
