    dip or not I just cant pay premiums for the same amount of Precious Metal that is in a generic round. Considering most times when you go to sell they (Pawns, LCS, etc) will give you the going rate and MAYBE a bit more but usually not much.


     

     

    If anyone is considering selling to an LCS, shop around; some are paying $2 or $3 over spot for ASE and some are giving $4 or $5. Silver Seeker did a YouTube video where he called some shops around the US to find out what they are paying for different kinds of silver, but he kept the companies anonymity, for better or for worse.

    If all you had to go on was the coins put out by the Royal Mint you might easily come to that conclusion. It quite annoys me how poor their effort was - four landmarks- all in London, all within the same three or four square miles. They don’t even represent bloody London particularly well. However, if they had been the opening foursome of a countrywide set- maybe four designs per county and four per city- each four by a different artist- you’d think it was a shaky start with far better things yet to come; Stonehenge; the Seven Sisters cliffs; Blackpool Tower; the Angel of the North; the Clifton Suspension Bridge; etc, etc. You could even think laterally and have things like the Grand National it’s such a huge and open brief I’m sure artists would have been tripping over each other to land such a dream job.

    Maybe the Perth Mint would like to do it- it could go on for years, decades even.

    That sounds very ambitious and exciting. 

    Hopefully the Stone'enge wouldn't be at risk of being trampled by a bloody dwarf! 🤣

    It’s an interesting quandary isn’t it- having bought the first coin in a series I always feel that I’m investing in that series- I’m almost bound to buy the rest, no matter how disappointing they might be. 

    I suppose the great thing about silver is its intrinsic value, ie, no matter how crummy a series turns out, it’s still worth something.

    As an example, earlier this year I bought a set of four Landmarks of Britain- a monumentally (sorry) awful mini-series from the Royal Mint but they only cost me £80.

    Well, that must be cause y'all don't have any good landmarks...  😉

  4. Thanks for creating this thread, interesting method.

    Lately I've been curious about this very subject as getting copper at low premiums is difficult and storage is a real challenge. How does pure copper that gets turned into products ship to copper-working industries? Spools of copper sheeting, ingots, some other form?
