You're right. I was looking at the wrong item on my invoice, doh!

Makes sense if you have ocd

Think they've sold out of the 1/4oz now.

I've noticed they put up the price of a tube since last week as well.

I'm wondering why the Royal Mint has decided to only put 15 coins into the tubes for the 2023 1/10oz silver Britannias compared to previous years where they had 16 but I can't think why they decided to. Any ideas why?

Check ebay for coin prices then add a few quid on maybe for the brooches. That's my best guess at the value of these.

Today these 2023 lol (last of Lizzie) Britannia's arrived. I had to double check the tube of 1/10oz Brits as I thought they were 5p pieces. The 1oz are typical poor bullion standard from the Royal Mint with small scratches to her face on both of them.

She's quite shy really

A girl who can swallow

Only went into my local bullion dealers to see what silver coins he had and ended up buying this 2018 piedfort proof sovereign. He threw the silver Britannia in for free.

Must be a new design as I've got the previous 5kg bar they sold which I bought when we were in the EU. Wouldn't mind getting this but I'd have to ask them about postage to the UK which probably isn't too good these days.

Lower mintage on the first compared to higher for the later ones? Were the greyhound churned out in huge numbers as in change of sales tactics by the Royal Mint?

I thought the Royal Mint collaborated with the London Mint with these portaits. They're terrible. I managed to get a silver proof 50p but card payment crashed, eventually went through after five attempts.

Around five years ago I was browsing on ebay and showing a work colleague how some people push up bids on their own coins. I placed a bid and it kept on jumping up on a 1oz silver libertad, one from the eighties I think. As it climbed near £60 I said to my colleague that I'll leave him with his own high bid but he stopped short at the last 20 minutes leaving me as the highest bidder. Egg on face and a battered looking coin came through the post a few days later. That'll teach me

I wonder if any country will issue firstly the Queen on coins then change part way through the year to Charles?

Which country within the commonwealth will be the first to change to the new monarch or does the UK change first and others follow?

She served us well. May she rest in peace.

Just 5 cheap ounces for me

I've been listening to my dad in how he's been conned out of his late mum's will by his sisters so has had to get a solicitor involved. Talk about getting bitter with all the mudslinging going on. Then there's my mother in law who's written everyone out of her will except for my niece who gets everything. My wife and brother in law have been written out of the will which has caused untold arguments. I like the idea of a viking funeral, push the burning boat out with all your belongings and watch it sink. No arguments at the end of it as there won't be a thing left.

Nothing boring about going to church, I quite like it.

My local bullion dealer isn't as cheap as he was just over a year ago, so I end up shopping around elsewhere. He does have some good deals every now and then and will let you haggle prices but for sovereigns he doesn't budge.

It's not just gold that's boring apparently. See what people think about coin collectors 😂

You've got until the 31st December to spend it as Croatia change over to the Euro on 1st. Jan
