TringSilver

Could be the matte proof (they all were in this year I think?) Have a look on RWB auctions as they have some in current catalogue I believe.

Are they royal mint sovereign sets or Hattons or similar?

Just as reference point for all I finally pulled the trigger on returning my 2oz silver set. It was beautifully presented and didn't have any flaws as far as I could tell. The RM did a great job on presentation and I appreciated the innovation of the rubber to stop the coins moving etc. But it was too much of a risk to keep for me although I wanted to, so as to keep my 2oz silver run going. Earlier today the available quantity of 2oz silver was still 1371 for info which does seem to paint it's own picture.

Yes @modofantasma has done a YouTube video on the same. I think I prefer the liquidity of being able to take £380 out a time rather than £1600 or whatever the spot may be at the time.

Had the same thing, you have to call the mint and do a phone order as they never come in stock on website. Still took a couple of months mind but was looking for them for ages as they are the only ones that fit the RM box.. Also these aren't screw type Proof ones as I thought they would be, similar but push fit. But still decent. Also saw the LCC listing and 🤬

Looks like cardboard so I'd rather have the pamp.

Half sov fitted in a pamp box fine as just done the same

Same @Paul EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK) (A-Mark), a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a 25% ownership interest in a United Kingdom-based company which owns and operates through a wholly owned subsidiary, Atkinsons Bullions & Coins (“Atkinsons”), for cash consideration of $2.75 million. Founded in 1990, Atkinsons is a leading United Kingdom-based online retailer of precious metals, bullion and coins. Atkinsons reported revenue of over $130 million in calendar 2022. In connection with the agreement, A-Mark and Atkinsons will enter into a three-year supplier agreement which includes a renewal provision. A-Mark will also be granted an option, exercisable no sooner than 24 months after the closing, to purchase an additional 24.5% ownership interest in Atkinsons which, if exercised, would increase A-Mark’s ownership interest to 49.5%. “The A-Mark team and I are impressed with Atkinsons’ track record within its Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) market,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “This transaction represents our first investment outside of North America, and expands our international footprint as we continue to focus on growing our DTC base and geographic reach.” “We are delighted to welcome the team at A-Mark to the Atkinsons family,” said Paul Atkinson CEO of Atkinsons Bullion & Coins. “From our initial meeting it was obvious we shared the same values for exceeding our clients’ expectations and delivering market-leading products and services at competitive prices. We are confident this partnership will support and enhance our ambitious growth plans. A-Mark's experience will be invaluable to our strategy.” The proposed transaction is expected to close in March 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

Betts are in Brum aren't they ? They do the same as Baird...

Interesting reading. Ignoring all the cu stuff (🤣) and heading for the Sovs, some low mintages on the half and £5. Also interesting to see all the "first releases" which is all pushed through SovR. Also interesting to see the failed attempt at the above with the Una and the PF67s or whatever they came out as!

Could be, I felt that this was more buying stuff back for less than spot "to recycle" or whatever the marketing is and realising they can sell it for a premium. Now that's easy money as plenty of folks would buy on the strength of the reputation etc (people off the street that is, not anyone here who knows the RM rep!)

Each pre-owned Britannia bullion coin may contain scratches, dents, or other marks. 🤣

Saw this today and thought it was an interesting new strategy from the Mint, following on from their recent move into buy backs. Perhaps the unsold memorial sovs will end up here! https://www.royalmint.com/invest/bullion/bullion-coins/gold-coins/britannia-1oz-pre-owned-gold-bullion-coin/ Apologies if already been mentioned, I have been off the forum a while!

Have a look at these guys, I ordered some caps and got a catalogue which shows all the stuff. Lots of options here which might balance the quantity you need and size. https://www.dauwalders.co.uk/lighthouse-coin-accessories-2488-c.asp Can attest to the RM case quality but big as you say and annoying with the 19 when 20 would fit easily. I think the one you like you may find with generic searching on eBay as I have the same one in a 10 version, just knocked out from the far east.

Finally got my replacement Gothic Portrait after about a month, looks much better than the first and also a few of the new James Bond bars.
