You can sell a Brit to a dealer for £1873 - not good value currently but that number is insane!

Can anyone recommend me a capsule with various grommet sizes that will take 1oz Brits, gold and silver and sovs please?

Would this coin be nickel or silver? Presuming it's nickel

I've decided that whenever I'm making a major gold purchase Im gonna grab a couple of smaller items at the same time which won't be a short time financial miss but should add up quick over the years. Question is, what's the better option, 1g or sometimes 2g gold bars or 2oz or sometimes 4oz of silver coins?

Woohoo! Congrats mate!

If its got to be 1oz, Brit or TB... but your choice, I just sometimes think Krugs are living on past reputation,  or more liquid coins you could get into the sov love affair like most on here, the sov is a right sl@g, everyone loves her 🤣

Yeah I plan to get some sovs eventually but liquid isn't something I'm concerned with right now, I'm planning on keeping what I accrue for the long haul!

Fenlander had some TBs listed if that helps?

What's he got them up for?

Just deciding the next purchase which will be soon. Another Brit, a Tudor Beast or a Krug?

Here's your problem in my humble opinion. Look into a membership and you will see that dealer prices are in large part inflated. Gold is currently trading very close to spot price on here.

Also that's the Tudor beasts.

I didnt know there were more than 1 set of beats, sorry!

All things equal, the Beast will be worth a little more. But you will pay substantially more than an extra £40 at the outset. 

 

I've just been looking at the Brit vs the Unicorn. There's only £31 on top for the unicorn on Tavex

Depends solely on purchase price. You make your money when you buy, not when you sell.

Queens beasts will always hold a premium over standard brits, but that premium will unfortunately diminish the higher gold price becomes. So I'd say a mixture of both, some premium and some joy of ownership. With that being said,,just wait long enough and with a higher spot price none of the above will matter anyway.

So let's say you bought a Brit and a Beast today, same spot but paid an extra £40 premium for the beast. In 5-10 years are they worth the same or is the beast still worth a little/lot more?

Another question for you guys if you don't mind? Is there any benefit to buying 1oz coins like the beast coins over a standard Brit? Will they be worth more down the line or is the additional premium just purely cosmetic to enjoy now?

This type of cardboard box, but as far as dealer's go, very good presentation.

Nice! Beats the envelope with a coin rattling round in it I was expecting 🤣

Well, I guess we were both right. No box and it came rattling round in an envelope! Its still fairly nice though!

Clean sock I hope.

Ish, I'd only had it on 12 hours

Never bought coloured silver before but couldn’t resist this. Expecting our firstborn this year 🤞 so that will be them, myself and my dad all year of the dragon 🐉 and a nice start to their stack 😊. Thanks as always @Panda6Pack

 

 

I'm new to precious metals but I'm presuming that weight of 88 8g is just a nice touch to go with the Chinese theme?

Just use latex free gloves to hold ( won't scratch or put finger print on it )

Might try that later. 

Really wanted a silver one to match as they really nice, price with vat seems awful though
