1/2 Oz Britannia

[AurumArgenti]

Just a general question does anybody bother with 1/2 Oz gold Britannia coins? I haven't really seen many for sale. UK bullion dealers don't seem to carry many or if any in stock?

I tend to buy 1/4oz gold Britannia’s easier

I've had a quick scout around and the Royal Mint tends to be the cheapest for 1/2 Britannia coins. That's kind of odd in it's own right in my very limited experience? The Royal Mint tends to be more expensive as a rule?

I've never been able to find 1/2 silver Brits on Royal Mint's site.

I was referring to gold 1/2 Oz Brits. 🙂

Only see them occasionally I don't think they are popular, but gold is gold. I like the 20 peso which is similar

Yer get yer hopes up, and then someone comes along and crushes them into the ground!!!

I've never understood why the RM don't go the whole silver in 1/2's, 1/4's etc.

I don't like any of that Mexican silver/gold stuff, but the only thing I do like about it is they have a full range of different silver and gold oz sizes - 1oz's, 1/2oz's, 1/4oz's, 1/10oz's, 1/20oz's. If I were to change stacking habits for an economic collapse, I would be much more inclined to go for those as they make more sense.

With silver being relatively cheap I can't see the demand being high. I can't see a 1/4 Oz silver being that economical to produce and supply either?
