I remember when weed was worth more than gold an ounce.

Still is ...in certain circles.... especially when someone's on their arse

Off on a tangent here but this thread reminded me of something. Gordon Brown as then Chancellor of the Exchequer sold off a significant part of our gold reserves and cost the UK an estimated £35 - 37 billion in today's prices. Figures from a quick online search, so not saying they're accurate but he fecked up. The same man as PM called a Labour supporting constituent in Rotherham an horrible old bigot (or words to that effect) after she raised concerns regarding the influx of immigrants in her town. 

In the old EDRD David Harcombe would often describe New Labour as 5th Columnists, now they're back in charge I think he may have been onto something

The Vulgate if I remember correctly none of that King James Protestant bible  here. Let me guess I’ve been following the wrong one my whole life and that’s why it’s been disaster after disaster. Just my f***ing luck I hope you appreciate how lucky you are to be so enlightened at your age. ‘God is making a way for you’ I wish I could of read that line 45 years ago would of spent far less time in nick 

Don’t be blaming god for your bad choices in life he gave you his consciousness and you chooses to abuse it there’s no one at fault for your downfall than yourself. 
 

may you have found  the righteous path from here on in. 
 

have a blessed day my friend 

 

god bless x

£3164 an oz.  Think your looking at the dollar price. 770 plus for a sovereign. 

 

It all depends on the what sovereign it is ,you can buy full sovereign for as little as 300 but they are in poor condition ,and I've seen half ,sovereign go for five hundred because the king/queen and date on the coin,

No matter what gold will always hold,you will never loose,

When I was a kid my gran would always put her money into gold like sovereigns, Krugerrands, anything she could get at decent price she would snap it up 

She had a gold Guinea on a chain ,she gave it to my sister when she got wed , worth few quide now

I gave my daughtera nice belcher chain that her mother bought me years ago when we still kiked eachother.Off the top of my head it is just over a couple of ounces.Her mum has just given her all the gold I bought her when we were together including a lovely Rose gold charm bracelett loaded with charms and a few rings.Her mothers always collected gold but given our girl all the bits I bought as Ive said if anything happens to her and her other 2 girls try claiming any of it Id kill em.Should be worth a nice few quid for my girl if she wants to cash it when shes old enough to start driving etc

Thats it Mooch , a big difference between spot price and coin prices , ive seen shops paying spot price for coins that are worth alot more, always sell to a decent coin dealer and not jewelry shops 

Incidentally anyone on here collect US  peace dollars , 90% silver
