Tennis Prize Draw (royalmint.com)
Had this email just now. 

8 kilo gold coin! And a full range. 
Proofs are on there still in stock, didn't see any bullion though

The easiest method as far as I can tell is to use Nitric Acid, which is unavailable to Joe Public in the UK. 
Look up Sreetips on YouTube, he does a lot of refining at home with various methods, mostly with Nitric but is US based.

Just add 1000 to basket and then it will reset to the stock level

I thought the same, except you could probably buy an RM box on eBay as well! 

Brought on a whim but a nice little proof with a low mintage figure.
Hand of faith nugget 1/10
 

Both of these came quicker than I expected. One RM and one Atkinsons.
I seem to have acquired a few proofs despite setting out as a bullion man 😳

These turned up which was nice as the order wasn't showing in my account! 
Like the scroll detail on the reverse.

Baby silver but a great story. Now I've found out about Douro sovs I wouldn't mind one of them as well.
 

Yes or easier is that some dealers show the intrinsic value on the listings. Chards for example, so I do that more often than not. Or just keep abreast of the spot 1gm price and do the fag packet maths 

Gold is heading down, down, down..............sell your sovereigns to me for £275 each now before they dip down to £45 each............

There's also the 'compare' feature on here which will show you the spot price for many popular coins.
I see that you're a silver premium member so you should be able to see this.
Alternatively your calculation is correct. 👍🏻

Agreed, but note that the mintmark is not the only distinguishing feature. Some also have a little line around the edge of the coin where the gold paper meets to cover the chocolate. I fear this coin would not survive the bite test. 

Ex VAT so more like £30~
Had me a few times as well!

Welcome. Gold silver.Be was really good for purchasing from EU the past few years I found for silver but as Tring says now with charges it would be expensive buying it in from there for us in England 

Why not give Chards or whoever a call. Tell them what you are looking for.
Ask if they have grade C in stock there and then - ask if you place an order right there and then, do they have stock to fill an order of 5 sovs?
If the answer is we have plenty in stock right now, then you know where you stand. 

There was a member who placed an order with Chards. The member had to wait - a lot longer than he liked. He posted a thread. There were a lot of opinions.
Personally i side with Lawrence Chard here. i don't buy with money i need and i don't sell. So if i have to wait a month, 3 months, 6 months, a year - as long as i have locked in the price and i trust the dealer then there isn't a problem for me. It turns out to be a nice surprise in a few months time. 
As mentioned here, a member has got what they consider nice coins in the grade C category from Chard.
As also mentioned here another member suggests you will have more of a problem selling a lower grade coin. This is true.

Personally i would go for better coins but at the same time i have got some really nice coins in what one might call the lucky dip section.
Always, always think about the time you would sell the coins before you buy. If you are going to be disappointed with a coin it will most likely be when it comes to sell it. Disappointed you had to sell it or disappointed you can't sell it for what you had hoped to.
 
 

it should read £3000(£15300-£12300) taxable at whatever the cgt rate is.
also your cgt allowance is shared across all cgt applicable assets for that tax year.
ie if you've already used up all of your cgt allowance by selling your house that year,
in the above example, then all of the £15300 is above your allowance and cgt taxable.
 
buying bullion gold sovereigns would make the accounts nice and simple.
