I wonder if anyone has already quickly placed 23 separate orders for a silver Britannia  

If you got the Sharps Pixley email just now... their 23rd customer of the day will win a sovereign!

The lone individual craftsman capable of producing one item has always impressed people more than the long series of individual designers and engineers who incrementally created the technology capable of doing the same thing en masse.  Both are impressive to me.

It amazes me that the die polishing is still done by hand. At least, for now it is!

Modern proof dies are all laser cut these days, so the details in tiny coins doesn't impress me as much as it would have done on older coins. Even 1oz coins have some fun tiny details on them that act as security features, some of which I only realised existed recently.

With tiny coins, I can't imagine there being much more to it than scaling down the design of a larger coin, changing some text, and hitting print. The dies for smaller coins are much faster to etch, and polishing the fields is also so much quicker than with larger coins. The scope for profit seems much greater when the manufacturing time is lessened. Maybe this is what the RM have realised with this glut of 1/40oz coins they're churning out  

I'll do it for £1920 if it goes today.

Sold pending payment

£295 anyone? These are currently £358.20 each at BBP.

Still available at the same price  

Still some available for swap or sale.

Still available.

I take it that because it’s damaged your Pyx coin will be pretty cheap🤔🤔👀🤣

It's not going to be less than the ebay one that had a damaged blister card 😛 

I will list my trial of the pyx one tomorrow if anyone's interested (it will cost more!)

I am so desperate to get this coin, but am I £450 desperate? The reason I say this is because one is on ebay right now for that amount.

Ask yourself how much you'd regret not buying it for £450 after someone else does.

So that’s 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 8 confirmed on TSF for the tenths. Putting a call out for numbers 2 & 4…come in…broadsword calling Danny boy

#2 of 8 sold in the US auction. Someone here must have #4 I reckon  

I'm still slightly more excited by the silver 1oz Roosevelt and Churchill coins though, as they are a one-off design that had never been released.

Did anyone go for the big daddy 1oz?

Is it definitely a two coin release? 

I believe so, but the second coin won't be until next year.

who will sell first. its a hard one. would anyone take 700 now. or potentially way higher. 

These could end up being the only 1/10oz gold standards in public hands, ever. You'd be foolish to sell for that low imho, and it's only likely to be worth more over time if no others manifest themselves.

The coin itself wasn't released to the public (per say)... A private pension company in the US got the entire order of this coin for 2022!

The Pyx coin did release for purchase but given the above and that (I think...) 2 of them had already sold at auction before the release, they didn't hang around long! 

Definitely a good purchase (imo)  

A very good purchase. These must surely be worth several hundred quid already. Outside of the 10 Pyx coins, none have come up for sale at all before, unlike the pig privy britannias.

At the end of the day, if anyone wants one, there are only 10 in the world they can buy...
