Isn't Fourecks that hot sandy continent near the edge of the disc...?

🧙‍♂️

Baird&Co now have a nice selection of Sovereigns for reasonably good premiums. Considering an early Elizabeth II...

The pre-decimal Elizabeth’s are very nice. I have a date run of those and a few more besides. Great choice.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. All purchases are at the same time. If we include time anything is possible!

I meant buying in eur vs buying in gbp at the same time of the same day. You can't get more buying in eur which was what they claimed. 

Well, some sites use different exchange rates to protect themselves against big changes.

Just go to chards, quote the price in pounds, and convert to euro. You will get a lower euro price than the site's quotation in euros.

Hm.. You are right. But the thing is you can't go lower than the price + the premium they show. But factoring in THEIR exchange rate, you can end up paying more if you use a different currency than GBP.

Conclusion: With Chards you can pay the premium they state ONLY if you use GBP. Any other currency will incur higher costs. 

In the top right corner you can see the live  true price of gold in different currencies, but if you actually want to add it to the basket, you end up paying more than what you should. 

Example 

I want to buy this: https://www.chards.co.uk/bullion-sovereigns-newly-minted/2321

Premium is 6.5%. A sovereign has 7.3234 g of pure gold.

Gold is 50.82 eur/gram. 7.3234 x 50.82 + 6.5%  = 396.36 euro final price. But they sell it for 405 euro. Bad deal.

Why wouldn't they? Baird is perfectly reliable. Have you heard otherwise?

If a website is in Germany i would always pay in EUR - if a site were in the UK i would always pay in GBP. i would always exchange the money myself and send it.

The 2020 sovereign at Chards is £340.53 - i can send the £340.53 using transferwise.com and it would cost me 395.38€. Don't use a coin website to exchange your cash.

Would that 395.38 euro be all costs included?

i don't know - @werewolf was talking about a price he has seen on Chards website and saying the price in EUR was more expensive that GBP - so i was pointing out he should exchange the money himself with a website like transferwise.

Édit, @sixgun all cost included from the transferwise platform (do they charge an amount for the exchange)

 

sorry

If you wanted to send £340.53 to a UK dealer at the time i posted the total cost using transferwise.com was 395.38€.

[SilverPirate007]

Anyone seen any good deals on 1/4 oz gold eagles, brits or QBs?

[werewolf]

@sixgun absolutely correct. I would pay in GBP at Chards. I was just making a point for the previous argument, regarding the exchange rates and gold price.  I use revolut for my online purchases in whatever currency I need. And happy with it. I havent found anything more advantageous until now.

Baird & Co is the best price for 1/4 oz Eagles I've found from dealers so far tonight (they've become one of my favourites after picking one up from @Jamesd), still with a premium tacked on but not as bad as a lot of other dealers;

https://www.bairdmint.com/products/14oz-gold-american-eagle

They've also got these advertised in stock, something different (as far as commonality goes anyway) and an in between weight. Premium seems reasonable!

ATS Bullion and Direct Bullion are both listing 1/4oz Eagles at a better price and in stock, at the moment. Unknown what their delivery / service is like though.

[Arganto]

That ATS price is very good 👍 and includes delivery!

Why would you ever buy these over sovs for lower premium?

For different reasons:

- differentiate your stack 

- collecting 

- purity of gold content 

- resale (Different premiums, different markets)

- probably other things I can’t see now

If you're asking for good deals it implies a rational reason and a willingness to take lucky dip coins in order to reduce premiums so most of those probably don't apply. 

I am into deals... and some of these reasons apply. 
 

i am all for the deals in proof sovereign’s. 

For you asking for deals implies a rational reason. For me asking for deals is finding the best way to buy my collectors pieces.

Gold makes me irrational. As you were.

H&B have a 2020 Sovereign relisted for £339 [https://harringtonandbyrne.co.uk/2020-united-kingdom-gold-uncirculated-sovereign-4270.html]

Usual caveat re. 1 per household and lots of spam mail included...
