Today I received this cute little 1/4 Oz silver Britannia from @alexmcsheffrey

It will be a gift for my fiancée's little brother. Annoyingly, the one Britannia I won't be keeping happens to not be completely destroyed by the lack of quality control! Very good condition coin. 

@LawrenceChardI want to get a gift box for it, I saw chards do full sovereign ones with room for a capsule, reckon this'll fit? Coin itself is 22mm, don't have a ruler on hand to measure the capsule 

I don't know about any of our capsules, as I leave that to others at @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer, but we might have suitable boxes.

Just a couple of 2023 1/4 Brits for the stack.

Looks gorgeous!!!

Got a few coins from the mint today. 
thinking what to do. The 5 Sov is a keeper for now. In safe. The 1oz Yale with a lion probably go back to mint.
 

The rabbit for sure back to mint, poor quality control again. Think it’s harder on the rabbit due to the background mirror finish. Still if your paying for a proof you need to get one.

I picked ours up from Amazon. Cheap as chips. Just a bit of fun and definitely a talking point.

Going to treat myself to a 500 or 1000g bar next year just to have about the house.

Pulled the trigger on this 1818 LVIII crown - the horse is frosted so needs to be conserved to remove some grime and make it cleaner

If it’s just to…

1) have “about the house” …copper.

2) If it’s to hedge against inflation and kept off site in a secure location… gold.

For me its, if you have... 

£££ in the bank its Copper

£££££ in the bank its Gold

Copper... I like the look, I like the idea, they always seem way too expensive though, makes the silver premium look tiny.
Or am I looking in the wrong places?

If I have “£££” it’s always silver for me.
 

Copper is if I have “££££££££” and don’t care what I blow a bit of money on something I ain’t getting it back. Copper to me is more a folly. 

Cons: Less buyers, takes up more space and heavier. 
 
Pro: It’s a bit of a lump! . A great show and tell.

You’re spot on. I wouldn’t collect/stack it as an investment (not at that price) but as a bit of fun, fabulous!

Precisely. I have Silver (minority), Gold (majority) and now some copper (minuscule) as a percentage.
