closed 500 Britannia’s/monster box

[jenx]

Hello

  I am looking to buy a monster box of Britannia’s. If anyone is considering selling some of their stash, or know where to buy them with reasonable premiums let me know.

regards Peter

Thanks. I have contacted one seller who is prepared to sell at £12500, but wants me to do it outside of the site. Whilst I understand he would save some fees I am not 100% comfortable with it.

I've done this a couple of times, to be fair the seller will be saving nearly 1k so very much worth it. Tbh if that's an option I think it would be foolish not to take it, provided you can verify silver is real

You are insane if you do that and by post! Never! Unless you know this bloke, and even then!! 
 

The only option is to meet in person, in a public place, with a BIG friend, and pay cash/bank transfer but only after you check one tube, and weight all other tubes, you can see coins in tubes from side. You should find weight on tube at 817gm each. There is still a risk and unless it’s 9k a box I would not bother. Pick up some silver here! It’s saver to buy in smaller amounts. Or buy direct from Baird & Co (they can also store), just don’t forget to pay the VAT if you collect it!

for the value of a monster box and avoid getting ripped off , its best to go direct to bullion dealer and pay the premium for peace of mind

Cheap as chips said No one! But it's probably the only of a few places to get them.

Thanks for the responses.  It was never my intention to pay by bank transfer and receive it by post. 
if you buy from a dealer you get exposed to the 20% vat and premium. I was hoping to find a cheaper deal from someone looking to realise some profits from a box bought when the price was a lot lower. There should be a middle ground where I can get a discount and the seller will get more than a dealer would give them whilst not having to deal with lots of people in smaller transactions. 
I have now ordered from eldorado coins. Let’s see how that goes.

Thanks. The price I have paid eldorado coins is lower than European mint, but that was this morning. If the price keeps on climbing like it has today it might be at spot by the time it arrives.

Eldorado coins is a great dealer

Eldorado have recently just got a load of Brittanias in (as there was a shortage), so probably want to shift them while the price is high, before a possible drop back. 
Shame you were not on here last month, someone had a MB for £9.5k I think?? 

As mentioned I would be very wary unless i bought from the seller & could check the capsules.
Make sure that your allowed to open the seals, dont bring cash & make sure you have someone with you. 

Having said that if I was the seller I would also have security I think!!

I would be there all day weighing each coin and checking dates. Might have to bite each one like they do in the Western movies.

Bring a magnet. I think you only bite gold as its soft, but I don't think any numismatic collector would even dream of that LOL. 

I have never checked any of my silver coins, you can just tell from the feel & sound if its the real thing or not. I would not be so confident with a large bar though. I do feel that there will be a lot more fakes being bought if the price rockets, so its important to stay off Ebay with sellers that have next to no feedback.
