  1. Also, on an unrelated note - would it be possible to get this coin graded by NGC ( or even worth it)? It would be my first time getting a coin graded, so yeah I am not knowledgeable at all on this subject.
  2. Well, I'll buy it just because it's actually Britannia silver
  3. Small update: shipping is delayed for some reason, turns out RM really did not have them in stock - the coin was supposed to reach me last week, but they will start dispatching them this week. Gotta wait for your Peter Rabbit fix folks!
  4. So, I actually went forth and ordered the silver proof ( the coloured one inside perspex) 10 mins ago. From the pictures, it does look good - I was looking to get an older 50p one, but then got this one because it's larger (and arguably more value for money - I'm paying 100 for a 1oz coin, opposed to a 60ish for an 8 gm coin). Remind me to post some pictures once it arrives! Royal mint says that it's still awaiting stock, so I hope I do get it at some point.... Also, there is no such thing as too much Peter Rabbit stuff , I've been collecting Peter Rabbit stuff since I was a kid...
  5. Welcome to the forum! I'm a new member too, and have been learning a lot from other members here....
  6. Looks like something I'd expect on coin commemorating Blackbeard, the pirate .....
  7. I read the other thread, so does the Perth Mint still produce sovereigns with silver in them?
  8. The watchdog agreed that the thing was misleading, the guy did not get anything I believe and Brewdog started a new campaign called The Sequel: A Gold Plated Apology...... Though I'll add that the T and C of the original competition do seem to mention an alternative prize of 10000 pounds worth of shares and a VIP tour....
  9. I was reading an excellent article on Chard's website, where there was table showing the variation in the composition of Sovereigns over several years - starting from around 4% of silver and the rest copper in the initial coins, whereas gradually the composition has changed to 80ish parts out of 1000 consist of copper ( and the rest gold). I am also aware of the Swiss Mint releasing gold coins last year, with a 90 Au, 6 Ag ( and rest Cu) alloy ( Swiss mint products always seem to be sold out, would appreciate a link to a seller too). My question is - did the Royal Mint remove the silver content to improve the 'durability' of the coin as the coins would be in circulation, or is it merely a cost cutting measure ?
  10. As beautiful as this looks, where is the 1kg platinum completer :-)
  11. If you want a really nice loupe, look at something from Zeiss with a magnification of somewhere between 10 - 20X....
  12. As someone beginning to stack gold, is it worth spending more on Quintuple Sovereigns over 1oz Britannias?
  13. I'm aware of 0.1 oz Britannia coins ( which for some reason I can't find anywhere as they are sold out 😞 ) , but are there any other fractional platinum coins?
  14. Are there places which do sell VAT free silver in the UK ( pre owned)?
  15. Ah, the premiums are too high, I might stick with 10oz then ( I'm bored with 10oz though since most QB 10oz are out of stock in most places, and I don't want a 10oz Britannia) maybe 1kg is the way to go
  16. The reason why I'm asking for 500g is that 1kg coins seem to be always sold out for some reason 😄 I'll have a look at the Lunar 1 and 2 series as @KevinFlynn mentioned
  17. Has any mint produced a half a kilogram silver coin? I can't seem to find anything from the Royal Mint ....
  18. Hello folks! I started my stacking journey by ordering a couple 1oz silver Britannia from Amazon for some credit I had, and sold them to acquire a beautiful 10oz Queen's Beast! I've signed up to get a general idea of the market, and interact with other like minded stackers and collectors.
  19. Have you considered using microfibre gloves? Many watch dealers use microfibre gloves while handling to ensure that precious metal cases do not receive any scratches or other marks ....
