The members above have very much answered your question. So not much for me to add except to say welcome to the forum.

These coins aren't rare. There are plenty for sale on ebay, currently selling for around £22-25. A while back, I managed to buy one on ebay for £9.50 posted 😎

It depends on your entry point. If you had bought monster boxes costing £11-£12 per ounce then why wouldn't you be glad ? Just saying !

Yes, quite. The Key to success. But let's not derail this thread any more.😁

I have a yale for sale if you're interested.

Hello! Welcome to the forum. There are plenty of collectors and stackers on the forum to discuss anything on precious metals.

The only way to improve the quality of RM products is to outsource production to other mints abroad. I said it on another thread and I stand by it. 😎

Hello! Welcome to the forum.

L👀K ! Wonger's prediction is coming true ! 👀😁

Houston, we have a problem 😬

At specific gravity of 17.30, that's not far off for 22k gold. If you can get hold of a coin ping device, and the coin gives a long ping then you can almost be sure that the coin is made of gold and unlikely to be a fake.

That's far longer than I have been a PM collector / stacker. But I suspect the message you're trying to convey is that Chards has been around much longer ! 😎

You can do a specific gravity test on the coin. It should give you an indictation whether it is made of gold. Have a look at the video for instructions.

It's climbing way too high for my liking, in GBP as well as in USD. I'm having buyer's regret ! Should have loaded up more.😢

You're right. The series II coins are proofs again. I originally thought Series I were proofs and Series II are bullion. I stand corrected. The quest for a definitive answer on the Bullion Series Big 5 continues. (Still, my guess is that the Bullion series will follow the same cycle as the proof coins).

Correct! ...... not 4 more Elephant coins !

There are plenty of info on the SA Mint website. So best to obtain accurate info on there. The series II Lion has already been released. Though a strong local demand may have caused supply issues abroad. A radio interview (14 mins long) with the SA Mint Managing Director is here. She talks about the bullion Series II collection. So no need to second guess ! The Rhino is next. Just as I though, a five coin series - Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard and lastly, the buffalo. Then repeat the cycle.

Your advice to me last time was to stack canned baked beans, so I did ! Now it's canned soup. But before that it was spam then Dr Martins. I can't keep up ! 🤣

I believe 125 ! That's what I read on the London Underground web page ! 😎

Not much luck is required in stacking PMs. But you do need plenty of spare cash. 🤑 Welcome to the forum. 😎

What you're describing is best practice. But in the real world, it doesn't happen that way.
