British Silver

Gold has been performing exceptionally well in dollars in the last month and incorrectly many investors assume that the nominal value of gold has also been going up as the dollar has been dipping. This is not entirely the truth. If we look at the gold price in other major currencies, it hasn't gone up as much as was believed. In Sterling terms gold managed to break through the June records just yesterday and in Euros it is still around 30 below the June levels.

The recent price jump has been more of a result of the falling Dollar than actual increase in gold demand but we must not get confused here. Rapidly rising demand for gold is still very much there, it is just not as vast as the price lets you assume.

The short term expectations for gold in Sterling are pretty similar to the Dollar, as the British government agreed to undertake the second round of Quantitative Easing. This would push the price of Sterling down and make it easier for British businesses to sell their products abroad.

The British government has not succeeded to keep inflation below the EU target levels, which makes it face a dilemma. Growing inflation and slowing economic growth is not an ideal combination. A new round of QE technically should help the economy as there will be more money to go around but a growing inflation even before the new round could cause serious troubles in the long run. The inflation rate is likely to rise after an increase in the money supply, which could damage the already weak Sterling. As the value of money decreases, more investors are likely to be driven towards gold investments.

Recent comments about the currency debate are suggesting that governments are in a race to the bottom with their national currencies to protect their own economies. Even thought this seems to be the main stream solution, the EU has decided not to follow the crowd. Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank, has repeatedly said that ECB will not carry out any more QE and they are even considering pushing up interest rates in the near future.

The reasons behind the decision are a bit unclear but one thing is sure. This will strengthen the Euro's status as the most stable paper currency available and persuade investors to swop their Dollars for Euros. Whether this will halt the dawning recovery in the Euro zone depends on the other currencies, especially the Dollar and the Yuan, but presently the effect has not been anything radical.

This might be interpreted as a sign of relief and a reason not to invest in gold but as I mentioned earlier, the main drive for the gold price recently has been the devaluation of currencies not a change in demand. The sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone is not over yet and as gold keeps increasing in other currencies, the price in Euro terms has to follow; maybe not as rapidly as in other currencies, but it cannot move in the opposite direction for too long simply because of the laws of supply and demand.

Halfpenny (British PreDecimal Coin) $70.1 The British halfpenny coin was worth 1/480th of a pound sterling. At first in its 700 year history it was made from silver but as the value of the pound declined, the coin was made from base metals. It was finally abandoned in 1969 as part of the process of decimalising the British currency. A halfpenny, colloquially written hapenny. It was long considered that the first halfpenny coins were produced in the reign of King Edward I (12721307), with earlier requirements for small change being provided by cut coinage ; that is, pennies cut into halves or quarters, usually along the cross which formed a prominent part of the reverse of the coin. However, in recent years metal detectors have discovered a few halfpennies of Kings Henry I (11001135) and Henry III (12161272) these are extremely rare and very little is known about them; they have all been found in the London area, where they circulated alongside the more common cut coinage, and while it is possible that these coins were patterns or trials, it is clear that they did see circulation. No documentary evidence of these coins is known to exist, and it is possible that there are other coins or issues still to be discovered.

British Columbia Gold Rushes $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The presence of gold in the region that is now British Columbia is mentioned in old legends that, in part, led to its discovery. The Strait of Anian, claimed to have been sailed by Juan de Fuca for whom todays Strait of Juan de Fuca is named, was described as passing through a land (Anian) rich in gold, silver, pearls and fur. Bergi (meaning mountains ), another legendary land near Anian, was also said to be rich in gold as well. Speculative maps of northwestern North America published before the area was mapped placed the legendary golden cities of Quivira and Cibola in the far inland northwest. No Spanish exploration parties in search of El Dorado, the golden one a reference to the legendary king of a lost golden city, are known to have ever reached British Columbia, although archaeological remains point to a brief Spanish presence in the Okanagan and Similkameen regions of the provinces Southern Interior.

British Ambassadors Residence in Paris (Hardcover) $142.19 This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the British Ambassador`s Residence in Paris, one of the most splendid historic homes in the French capital and the most impressive of all British ambassadorial residences abroad. The author, Tim Knox, charts the stirring story of the house, from its origins as the home of the Ducs de Charost, to its opulent heyday under Napoleon`s sister, Pauline Bonaparte, Princess Borghese, much of whose luxurious furniture and decoration survives intact. Since 1814, when Pauline sold the house to the 1st Duke of Wellington, the mansion has served as the residence of successive British Ambassadors to France, who altered the house to suit their taste and character, notably Sir Duff Cooper and his beautiful wife, Lady Diana, whose Empire-style study is still redolent of their brilliant social circle in Post-War Paris. This beautiful house in the rue du Faubourg St Honoré, furnished with masterpieces of French Empire furniture and decorative arts, English silver, and paintings by British artists, remains a splendid, but hard-working setting for promoting the Franco-British relationship.

Half Crown (British Coin) $114.71 The half crown was a denomination of British money worth two shillings and sixpence, being oneeighth of a pound and half of a crown. The half crown was first issued in 1549, in the reign of Edward VI. No half crowns were issued in the reign of Mary, but from the reign of Elizabeth I half crowns were issued in every reign except Edward VIII, until the coins were discontinued in 1967. The half crown was demonetised (ahead of other predecimal coins) on 1 January 1970, the year before the United Kingdom adopted decimal currency on Decimal Day. During the English Interregnum of 16491660, a republican half crown was issued, bearing the arms of the Commonwealth of England, despite monarchist associations of the coins name. When Oliver Cromwell made himself Lord Protector of England, half crowns were issued bearing his semiroyal portrait. The half crown did not display its value on the reverse until 1893. In the 1800s, the silver half crown coin was (very roughly) convertible into an American fiftycent piece, and was sometimes nicknamed the half dollar in North America.

Campbell River, British Columbia $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Campbell River is a coastal city in British Columbia on the east coast of Vancouver Island at the south end of Discovery Passage, which lies along the important coastal Inside Passage shipping route. Campbell River claims a population (2006 census) of 32,000 and has long been touted as the Salmon Capital of the World. The town is served by an airport (YBL), a seaplane base called YHH at Campbell River Harbour, a BC Ferries route to Quadra Island, and highways which connect it to neighbouring towns such as Courtenay, The Village of Sayward, Gold River, Port McNeill and Port Hardy. The 1948 construction of the BC Power Corporations Elk Falls hydroelectric dam and the John Hart Generating Station allowed Crown Zellerbach to establish the Elk Falls Pulp and Paper Mill in 1952, which greatly improved the towns economy. The mill is currently owned by Catalyst Paper and is currently shut down indefinitely. NVI Mining operates the Myra Falls zinc, gold and silver mine in nearby Strathcona Provincial Park. Quinsam Coal operates an underground coal mine southwest of town.

1954 British Grand Prix $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Results from the 1954 Formula One British Grand Prix held at Silverstone on July 17, 1954. A huge crowd turned out at Silverstone to see if Mercedes could repeat their Rheims rout. In the end, just two silver cars arrived (for Fangio and Kling). In contrast, Maserati had nine cars, whilst Ferrari had three for the experienced trio of Hawthorn, Gonzalez and Trintignant. Fangio set Silverstones fastest ever lap, breaking the 100mph barrier with a lap of 100.35mph. It was Gonzalez who led away and held the lead until the flag. Behind him, Fangio passed Hawthorn for second but after colliding several times with oil drums in a difficult handling car, he dropped to fourth. Moss took over the position but retired with rear axle problems, leaving Hawthorn to follow home for a Ferrari 12 and young Onofre Marimon to take his first podium place.

Threepence (British Coin) $95.59 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The threepence or thrupenny bit was a denomination of currency used by various jurisdictions in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, until decimalisation of the pound sterling and Irish pound in 1971. It was also used in some parts of the British Empire (later known as the Commonwealth), notably Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Before decimalisation brought about a new currency with new coinage, the sum of three pence was pronounced variously THROOPence THREPPence or THRUPPence reflecting different pronunciations in the various regions of Great Britain. Likewise, the coin was usually referred to in conversation as a THROOPnee THREPPnee or THRUPPnee bit. The three pence coin expressed in writing as 3d first appeared in England during the fine silver coinage of King Edward VI (15471553), when it formed part of a set of new denominations. Although it was an easy denomination to work with in the context of the old sterling coinage system, being a quarter of a shilling, initially it was not popular with the public who preferred the groat (four pence). Hence the coin was not minted in the following two reigns.

Pre-Decimal British Coin Set $39.98 The British are particular about their coins and so far, they have declined to join the Euro.

Their denominations are the same as when Britannia ruled the waves.
