1/10 oz Britannia Capsules / Tubes / Storage...

Recommended Posts

I finally think I am going to pull the trigger on my first gold purchase. I have about 250 oz silver and think I need to at least try and approach a gold/silver ratio somewhat similar to the current $ gold/silver ratio.

I have been too-ing and fro-ing between 1/10 britannia's or full sovereigns for the last couple of months. As much as i like the history of the sovereign I think I prefer the idea of starting my collection with 24ct gold at least as a first buy. My intent is over time to fill a tube with these Britannias which leads to my questions..

- can anyone recommend somewhere which sells tubes for 1/10 oz britannias? I can't seem to find anywhere with stock
- as they are 24ct even if they will live there lives with me in a tube is it worth putting them in a capsule first for protection? if so can recommend a capsule AND a tube which would then fit them? Is it possible to buy a capsule which is the same size as a silver 1 oz britannia and then use the silver tube as storage as they seem easier to come by?

Hopefully by the time anyone responds i haven't flipped back to sovereigns lol!!

Worth considering that a new 1/4 Britannia will only cost you a few more £s than a new Sovereign. Bigger than a 1/10, lower premium too.

Thanks all for your replies. 1/4 oz are the better deal just that much more each so not so easy to get 1 every month. 

Despite the username I am in the UK so any non EU (for now) suggestions are not worth it due to shipping costs and potential import duties? 

I suppose I need to find a site that sells capsules for 1/4 or 1/10 oz coins but with an overall diameter of a larger coin so i can easily find a tube. I will keep digging and let anyone know if I find anything.

Also, with Brexit looming (urgh!) part of me feels i need to try and finish my monster box of silver britannia's as much as I can before presumably silver becomes a non investment opportunity due to the VAT situation (other than buying tubes on this site I suppose).

Coinsgallery does caps for 1/10 coins. I have quite a few, and I think I had a couple of tubes, but need to check which ones I used. Unfortunately am out of country so can’t get to the safety deposit box for a couple of weeks

Interesting timing that this thread has re-surfaced.

My focus is to slowly build a stack of 1oz Silver Brits but will also want a similar ratio to Gold longer term.


I'm either going down a 1/4 Oz Gold Brits or Sovereign route so will keeping things simple with RM tubes where possible.

Looking to complete a date run of Bu Sovs and still require; 2010, 2011, 2018 & 2019
