Today I bought.....

[DrDime]

That's good to know - I'm never sure what they're worth. I talk to the guy every week and he always has the sets - all in original condition etc. I may be able to persuade him one day when he needs the money

[DrDime]

Are any years particularly valuable?

When you see them going on eBay for £150, you have to take into account the 13.4% fees and bellend tax (people overbidding, me included).

That brings them down to the £110-120 mark, at which they are a useful deal in my book.

Although I know those mintages are BS, the Royal Mint Museum are still compiling "actual" mintages for most years.

Thanks Danny. He also has this every week for £45. https://www.thelondoncoincompany.com/face/browseme.php?pointme=10&id=843

I like it but can't bring myself to justify it

I reckon I'd buy that at £45 Dr.

4x spot for proof limited mintage isn't that bad.

Today (well yesterday now) I bought a sunshine mint 1g gold bar. Not really for investing due to the premium, but I like to try to have 1 of everything that takes my fancy!

It's quite a premium (and rightly so at 1g) - I really fancy one.

2 x 100g bars, got my doubts wether they'll arrive from hatton garden metals   some £18 less than atkinsons   im not sure that's correct , but checked 3 other companies , the hatton garden ones were £43 or so   fingers crossed

£108.14 inc delivery

I don't understand.  I thought Hatton Garden Metals only did 500g and 1kg bars.

Anyway, 200g is 6.43 oz which at £108.14 delivered is £16.81/oz which is higher than what you're willing to pay.  You always go on about how you can pick up silver for spot or less from a fellow stacker and even at 20% over spot that is too high as you feel silver is too expensive at the current rate.

I thought this too.
