Up 75% in under 6 years?
Anyone know how much Sterling devalued over that time?
I'd bet you're still ahead though.

So that's the date of purchase for the silver that was £20 and is now £35? I must admit, I'd made up "2009" in my head, but 2019 ... wow. The girl done good!
Yes, 2019. Unfortunately, I hadn't been enlightened in 2009 otherwise I would have started buying then! :lol:

I remember when sovereigns were £14 each, was Harald Wilson in power ?, my pocket money wouldn’t stretch (£2 week)
but I did search any change I got for pre 1920 silver coins and pre 1947 half silver.

Sovereigns..... Where do you buy yours?

I've been looking at Halves at around £308 (delivered) each

Atkinsons. Flawless service.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

I second that and normally cheaper than Bullion by post.

I have bought and sold with Atkinsons with no issues.

I haven't gone down the gold route yet, personally, but I have used Atkinson for silver and also Silver Trader.

Crikey, I paid £200, wish I'd bought more! I've only got two. But they are worth more, as they are 1905.
