Lol I'd love to know just how much of HGMs sales are from forum members

So much for my New Year resolutions promise to myself of only buying allocated silver through bullionvault/goldmoney this year and just to buy physical gold

I don't get it. Why are people buying second hand Britannia's from HGM for £15.47 (when you include VAT) given they are available on STG brand new for £13.44? Am I missing something

Different design.  Older coins carry a premium due to collectors.

• they were all 2011
• last year of unique design before generic britannia design came about  
• last year of .958 pure.
• possible numismatic upside in years to come when people want to complete date runs
• current ebay prices higher than hgm price
• unavailable  to buy new

How much were they from HGM inc the VAT?

this design was never popular, Chards still have them in at £18.75.

last time I asked about them they had loads left.

£15.47 inc VAT

I looked into buying the last 8 and delivered was going to work out at about £16.75 per coin, I think.

They seem to sell OK via eBay by the looks of it

[Hookythestacker]

Bit of a let down after reading the above, but Darlington coins have 2015 Brits up for £17.49 delivered on their site, better than ebay for the casual buyer of single items. Doesn't seem any discount on post for buying two though, pity as p&p must be the same for one or two.

[StackemHigh]

Maybe a quick phone call would sort that!

[Abbotssilvercoins]

If anyone's looking for 2015 Britannias in single coins, I ship them out for £16.95 including postage and packaging.  Free P&P regardless of quantity.  Cheers, David

[Yeti]

My 8 2011 brittanias from HGMs turned up just now and I'm over the moon, they are all carded from the royal mint! Kicking myself now that I never bought more!

[SilverBalls]

Anybody looking for a 1oz Lunar Mouse to complete a set?

 

There's one on ebay priced at £25.95 free postage. Can't post the link here but the seller is: timelessmagazines

 

They're also selling a 2006 1oz Kook for £23.95 & a 2008 1oz Kook for £24.95 - both free postage.

Hi there, new to this site so will share my knowledge on deals and find new ones off you guys, also a follower of StackSmart on Youtube which I can strongly recommend, few good value deals I found this week are,

 

TheBullioncentre.com   - Lunar year of the horse 1oz £17.65 when you buy 40

 

ebay member Liedi_de (based in Germany) very good prices across most of his coins great selection, Got 5 1oz 2014 elephants for £16.45, has only a few left now at £18.31 each

[dannysilver]

Also looking at maximising discounts on silver, I live in the UK so currently using Silvertogo for VAT free bullion, I have found ways to save a little more as noticed silvertogo charge to convert currencies, I used transferwise and paid in euros and saved 1% and also got £10.50 off topcashback for using transferwise.com for the first time so something to consider on big orders.

 

Please share any deals or new websites and keep this post active

I have found ways to save a little more as noticed silvertogo charge to convert currencies, 

 

Interesting........This must be a recent thing, as the last time I checked, their rates were pretty much spot on with the exchange rates. Just checked and you are right. it seems they are adding about 2% to convert from Euros to pounds.

 

I did a test for 25 Maples In euros delivered it would be 469.45 or £334.83

 

It seems I can pay in euro's with my credit card, (the one that has no foreign exchange fees) with the 2% processing fee, and that will be 478.84 Euros or £341.53,

 

or bank transfer in pounds into their UK bank for a price of £340.95. Practically no difference.

 

Except using a credit card I have insurance on the purchase,,(oh and I have a 0.5% cashback bonus on my credit card) , unlike the bank

transfer. 

 

edit

 

Just checked transferwise, it would cost me £339.17.  

 

Methinks I'll be buying in euros and using my cc for future purchases, with my 0.5% cash back, that works out to £339.82

[Scuzzle]

You can see a big difference in the totals if you play around with the different currencies on Silvertogo and Coininvest.  When you get your basket total it's always worth checking what the total works out at in all 3 available currencies just to see and paying in whatever is cheapest.  Danny is right about Transferwise, I bank with the Nationwide and they would take £20 off me to do a bank transfer to outside the UK, getting the conversion to Euros or Dollars is the same £20 amount and getting the deal done in Euros rather than Sterling would save me the £20 anyway but if I use Transferwise it's a UK operation so I can fund that with my credit or debit card for free, do the transaction with a 0.5% fee which is only a £1 on £200, £5 on £1000, I would need to be spending 4K before I reached a £20 fee plus there is the £10.50 back offer from Topcashback for first time users of Transferwise so instead of costing me £20 I can make £9.50 on a £200 purchase and £5.50 on £1000 purchase plus the savings I make on purchasing in Euros rather than Sterling are mine to keep and not absorbed by bank fees.

ive put on a 1 oz lunar ox if any one interested. i think this is a good deal £30 including postage.

they were bought from arishi and taken out the roll for this picture.

can sell for this price because ebay has offered a voucher to make up the difference
