They released a 3 coin premium set…..1/2, 1/4, 1/10, and a 3 coin set 1/4, 1/10 and 1/20.

Have you considered checking the boxes for the silver sets also?

I’d consider any royal mint branded box that would fit my three coins and look like they were meant to be there to be honest mate. I know I’ll likely have to buy new caps for them too, but I’m prepared for that lol

 I just can't imagine why anybody would have bought that in the first place, must have cost a fortune with mint premiums.  And I thought I was flushing money down the toilet with my 1oz silver tudor beasts!

They seem to say a good fake is OK on their website.  Would be cautious buying from them.

Not all fake sovereigns are created equal. Although the Royal Mint considers counterfeiting and fraud an extremely serious issue, Sovereign-mania particularly in the Middle East and India has bread a new generation of super forgers. Before the 1930s, fake coins contained very little valuable gold, and were consequently underweight, off-colour, of poor quality and not difficult to distinguish from a genuine gold sovereign. Today, millions of standard specifics (22 karat gold, weight) Elizabeth Gold Sovereigns are produced in factories all around the world. These coins are not worthless fakes, but copies produced for markets where original British Sovereigns are difficult to obtain if unavailable. Amazingly, many are alloyed with silver and are thus even more valuable than original Sovereigns. Mintmarks or trademarks indicate the manufacturer.
