Darlington Coins

[Hillbilly Sheep]

I'm about to make my second purchase of silver tomorrow and I found Darlington Coins on e-bay.  They seem to be the cheapest I can find.

 

Anyone had any dealings with them ?  Is there anywhere cheaper ?

e.g 2014 1oz Silver Eagle  £19.49 delivered.

i bought from them in my early days when i was only buying from ebay

Used them maybe 10-dozen times for single coin purchases without no problems

 

how many is it you are looking to buy ? as you can get cheaper from europe if buying a tubes worth 

[Hillbilly Sheep]

I'm only buying one or two at a time just now.

 

Hopefully later on I'll be able to buy tubes worth at a time.

[Cointreau]

Yes, it does depend on how many you getting.

ASE'S are currently £13.42 at Silver-To-Go.

from a man with a couple of years on the stacking clock, please just save your money  until you have enough to buy a tubes worth

 

buy one today @ £19.49 from darlingtons

buy x20 singles from darlingtons over time @ £19.49 = £389.80

 

save up your cash until you have £390

 

got to silver to go

order a tube of x20 @ £13.41 per coin £268.20 shipping to UK add £7.95 = £276.15

 

£389.80 - £276.15 = £113.75 saving (!)

 

add the £113.75 saving and you could actually order another 8oz from STG to go with your tube (£113.75 / £13.41)

[BaldyBob]

You'll never get better advice than that.

 

If you are not collecting and are purely stacking, it is never worth buying lass than 5 at a time...and never from the UK.

Do the sums yourself comparing the checkout of any UK site with a German one.

[HelpingHands]

You can buy directly from their site for a bit cheaper last time I checked. Maybe cheaper still with bank transfer.

I've only had a couple of coins from them as they are expensive. They do send them out very quickly.

consider trying to add your 1 or 2 coins with a forum member who is

buying in bulk. ie ase at ~£13.5+~£1(for your share of the delivery)

add to that <£3 for member to send it to you and it works out at

~£17.50 for you first coin.

[HelpingHands]

Yep, or if there is something you're after someone here could do cheaper.

[Hillbilly Sheep]

Yes, it makes sense to save up enough to buy in bulk, and I probably will. But im itching to get going after buying my first!

I know it will cost me more in the long run though.

[a_a]

Really no point paying over the odds for plain bullion. Maybe collect something numismatic instead if you really feel the urge, or scour ebay for junk or weird coins close to spot that no-one else wants to buy. I'd bet most people on here have probably got a couple of bizarre coins in their collection from random ebay purchases!

[Wardie73]

I bought a few coins from them, all good fast delivery, great coins. Then I bought a Slabbed Panda graded 70, when I got the coin it was covered in milk spots. I returned the coin & got a full refund. I posted a positive feedback on ebay saying despite the coin having milk spots the overall service was good.

Last week I tried buying another coin but it would appear the seller has blocked me from making any further purchases.

Shame, but hey, other sellers out there.

[silversword]

If they blocked you, they have done you a favour, Wardie: No sense in giving more money to people like that.

[Shamatti]

Ah, don't you listen to 'em HS. The whole point of stacking silver is to have silver. Get your first few ounces as and when you can, then you have some there, in hand. Then you can start saving for larger orders. That is what everyone else did here! lol It is only looking back now that makes people think "Damn, those first few ounces really push my pound per ounce total up!" lol So keep on with the expensive ounes, it is better than no ounces if SHTF and you can start getting bigger deals later.

 

I don't think people realise that is you are only planning to buy 1 coin per month, then saving up to buy a whole tube at that rate could take over a year, prices could have gone way up ny then!

[silversword]

With current spot being so low, paying practically double just fo get a single coin seems very desperate, and not good investment advice. Whilst saving for a tube might be a big ask, saving for 5 coins and taking advantage of Atkinsons mix/match for example, would still save in region of £15 over singles, which is practically another coin.

[Hillbilly Sheep]

Surely that's a good time to buy, no ?

If the spot price goes up then the coin price will surely go up.

Atkinsons mix & match is pretty good for buying smaller quantities.

i sometimes forget those who are in this PMs fields and people are in for different reasons:

 

1. Some are pure stacker at absolute lowest cost (investors)
2. Some are part stacker part collector
3. Some are pure stacker but part speculator/gambler paying extra for semi numis coins for possible appreciation in years to come
4. Some are pure collector ONLY (x1 coin of each variety) and not in this field for investment reasons
5. Some are pure investor but with a very, very limited budget

 

If you are someone reading this who falls into the latter comment reading this, you will end up paying the very highest price (£) for single coins purchases, and as investment will have to wait the absolute highest length of time to see a positive return on your purchases/investments.  

 

My advice to you would be, it would be better just to hold a 100% cash position in the likes of ISAs/instant access savings.  At least with this you will always have 100% left of what you have invested into it albeit with the slow and gradual decline of your position through inflation.

 

For the record in am 60% - (3) with a 40% of (1) thrown in

[HelpingHands]

Or you can buy from a big buyer here and they can replace the coin(s) on their next big buy.

[HighlandTiger]

Plenty of coins for sale on this very forum. And certainly a lot cheaper than Darlington

[a_a]

Paul, I bet most on here go through 1, 3, then 2

[HighlandTiger]

I went 1, 2, then I'm now on 3.

[Cornishfarmer]

I'm 2 and 3
