Aecoin

@FlorinCollector I will take the 3 graces bar if it hasn’t sold. Thanks.

Where to get hold of new libs in the UK without paying crazy money?

Thanks. I’m quite fancying some airtite tubes, and am deciding whether to keep the capsules I’ve got and use with the tubes - assuming they fit, or go the whole hog and swap out the capsules as well.

Krugerrand definitely, one of the earliest in gold. Libertad?

I’ve made a few small bullion coin purchases recently from Chards, Atkinsons & the Royal Mint. I notice that Chards & Atkinsons appear to use the same type of coin capsule - a fairly slim capsule - whereas the Royal Mint use a much chunkier capsule. Could someone tell me what make/type the capsules are? I’ve heard the term “lighthouse” used - are either of these lighthouse capsules?

Is the box made out of gold?! 😁

https://www.royalmint.com/shop/coin-sets/Flagship-Coins-of-the-World-1oz-Silver-Bullion-Coin-Set/ 6oz of silver bullion for………….£499 ?! 83 / ounce. I know the price is on the up, but that really is taking the mick.

Does anyone know what happened to the mad4silver shop? https://mad-4silver.co.uk

@Matt8v Nice box. Did you have to add the capsules on separately, or were they included in the quoted price?

Thanks folks for your learned advice. Will be sticking to bullion coins & bars for the time being!

Correcting for their weight & .925 purity, the melt price would be around £15.

Ah good point I was mistaking an ounce (28ish grams) for a Troy ounce.

Was browsing eBay recently and noticed a ton of silver proof crown sets from 1972 onwards going in the £20-30 range. These seem incredibly cheap given new a proof crown from the Royal Mint will set you back close to £100: https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-queens-platinum-jubilee/the-platinum-jubilee-of-her-majesty-the-queen-2022-5-silver-proof-coin/ Do proof coins not hold their premium over time, or is there something I’m missing here? I’m also surprised to find these proof coins as cheap/cheaper than 1oz silver bullion coins.

Thanks all, some really insightful analysis.
