Got this 2001 1/4 oz Britannia a little over spot, just in time before the surge in price of AU.
I saw it was a low mintage coin supposedly only 1,100 made so grabbed it.

Just one Kook for me, but it did complete one of my date runs I set out to do, right back to 1996 (which was 4 years more than I intended, somehow I can’t stop myself 😂).

Not really, just the tubes😁

I believed Mr Wonger, sold all my gold and got stung !! 😂

I was so tempted with those older pandas they have in stock.
But I don't dare to buy from them. Instead ordered different years from the friendly reputable dealer in Birmingham.
Sounds to me gs.be is one to avoid !!

This is an interesting thread so I will add my little story.
I collected coins since I was a kid. I like the intricate design of coins and its history. My collection at the time were mostly British pre-decimal and world coins.
There was a local coin shop in my town back in the day. So when I had spending money, I would pay them a visit and buy silver and anythings else of interest that I can afford. I have all the coins from that time, including a nice 1820 George III silver crown, a 1889 Victoria silver crown and a pristine 1915 George V half crown.
My first gold coin was a 1982 half sovereign. This was when I had a part-time cleaning job after school. I remembered walking passed a coin shop in Central London and saw some shinny sovereigns behind the window. I think it cost a princely sum of £25.
After starting a family, I had little time nor funds to continue my hobby. Back then, I viewed coin collecting, whether in silver or gold simply as a hobby and not as a way to preserve wealth.
I started waking up to precious metals after the 2008 financial market crash.  I got burnt investing in the shares of the company I worked for !
I was still reading up on the financial markets in the evenings until ISIS came into the living room. The British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC) and ConJob4 (C4) would have you believe it was a civil war.  But nothing made sense on the news. How can a small faction of fighters and Jihadi John can defeat and outgun a national army of Syria with tanks and fighter jets !  After much reading and research on alt-media, namely Zerohedge, globalresearch.ca and many other platforms, I came to understand it was a conflict over money, power and control. If you control oil you control nations, control food you control the people, control money then you control the world !  The New World Odor as some would say !  
After many months of research, reading, watching and listening, I got to understand these two famous quotes :-
1.  "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning" - Henry Ford
2.  "Money is Gold, and nothing else" - JP Morgan Testimony before the Bank and Currency Committee of the House of Representatives, at Washington, D. C. 18 & 19 December 1912.
After this waking moment, I withdrawn my savings and exchanged them for the shinny stuff. I basically continued with my hobby !!  LOL !!
That's it. My short story !  😎

This beautiful .999 silver butterfly mounted on a piece of oak from Riverbank Silver (@riverbanksilver). I was unfortunate to miss out on his auction so he very kindly made another for me. Hope you’re all impressed and will check out his stuff.
