Fractal Gold Brits

[StackemHigh]

I found a cheap 1/10 gold brit on my travels last Wednesday and I've sort of decided to get a small date run going on these.

Can anyone tell me when the RM started to produce these and if they missed any years out?

1987 started and only 1998 and very recent ones are difficult

Cool it was a 1987 that I got. Any particular reason for the newer ones to be harder to get?

The mint raised prices by a huge amount and went to 1/20th and 1/40th oz. the 1/10ths seem to be only in very expensive sets.

Witness this 1/10th asking 269 when my maximum buy price is 115

Jeez. Maybe i won't be going for it then. I may just pick them up now and again at a good price.

The Royal mint bullion website are selling the 2014 1/10th from £94

More like it.

You know I toyed with the idea of buying the 3 coin gold 2014 proof set of 1/4, 1/10, 1/20

 

Thought maybe I could keep the 1/4 and sell the other two, but the set is £595

 

If I got £150 for the 1/10 and £75 for the 1/20 id still be paying £370 for 1/4 of gold which is hefty.

 

Greedy royal mint tsk

I think that was my original point as well. RM have been extremely greedy and screwed around with pricing to a huge extent.

The bullion 1/10th is a completely different animal in a completely different design and with a completely different finish.

The proof one 10th which I collect has been messed around with. It is impossible to buy a new gold proof set , break it up and be up on the deal.

RM have tried to make coins that are way too small and inconsequential while at the same time ramping the cost up so high that it is inevitable in every way that anyone buying them would lose money.
