You could send 2 x 2 coin packages to solve the insurance issue.

Got one, thanks.

Thanks, but I just need one to finish the set!

Nobody? Really?!🤔

As per title, if you have one I'm open to a price of £65 delivered for a good one.

@PapaLazarou

That's a great offer.

Welcome.

That is probably the prettiest piece of enamelled silver I have ever seen. I bet it cost a small fortune, but worth every penny. Enjoy, and thanks for letting the rest of us enjoy it too!

I'd guess that most jewellers/pawn shops would check it for you for few quid at most.

I hope its gold. I'll stick my neck out a guess that it is. At 34g per pack, minus the weight of the paper would be very close to one ounce maybe? I also think it looks like gold. I also think the story is plausible. Please be gold🤞

Was always a chicken & mushroom guy, before they had to take out the salt and carcinogens, they are a pale imitation now. RIP Mary Jane indeed. It was a pleasure!

Comes with a free pot noodle and a crunchie. Allegedly.

Amazing price.

@LiquidMetalsUK??

As per title, a gram of gold, no frills, £55 delivered 2nd class recorded. Can post on Saturday, BT please. Some pics in case you've forgot what one looks like.😀

Nice pound, nice pics.

I know the 'where it all started' thing has been done to death, but it's interesting to see how we all got into this game. My PM journey began in 2015, better late than never! My first silver purchase was these 3 from Atkinson's. I couldn't ever sell them... And this is what they cost me. As soon as I saw them in the flesh and held them I was hooked, and have been ever since. Nearly a decade down the line, hundreds of ounces later, yellow stuff in a deposit box, date runs completed, long term plans still being worked on, a few losses, a few wins, I still love it as much as I did in 2015! That is in no small part due to this forum and everyone who makes it what it is.

All silver. I don't really consider chucking in a wee sachet a step though. I've spent more time typing about it in the last hour than I ever will actually doing it!

Good man. I still have jillions left from covid test kits. Arguably the most useful thing in the box!

True. Also, if gaseous hydrogen sulphide is present it will, in part, dissolve in atmospheric water, and so moisture absorbers will remove at least a portion of it. As I said, the moisture per se is not the problem, but rather what it is carrying. You keep the air out, I'll keep the moisture out, and the coins will stay tip-top for ever!

I'll do both! (Not really, stopped smoking years ago, but remember it fondly...)

Like sulphur dioxide, which is soluble in water.

Not technically, but the gubbins in the moisture does, so that's better off in a sachet than lying on lovely Silver. Also a dry environment is better than a moist one for preservation in general. Except for fish.

In all seriousness, if you haven't already I'd chuck a few moisture absorbing sachets in the tin as well, it'll help keep the shiny, well, shiny!
