Gold UK Currency Coins

[LittleMan]

So what do you guys think of these:

Seems the premium on the 10p coin is insane compared to the £1 coin.

Big thumb down to product and vendor.

Agree with bob.

Think @Numistacker and 1 or 2 of these to get graded. They looked real nice I the pic. Think Royal mint were selling the Battle of Britain 50p for £600 odd back along.  I'm with the other wouldn't buy from bbp because of their premiums.

These are great and many came from the 2002 special set that included gold Maundy money. The 20p is stunning and I have the 5p too. Whether they are buyable depends on price but anyone who has seen them adores them.

What is wrong with the vendor if you don't mind my asking?

Hello LM

Prices in the main, and I would worry about how resalable these coins are. I also have a personal bugbear about the Company's attitude to data protection.

Numistacker likes these coins but not BBP's premium, which I agree with from a collectors view point. As a stacker, there are better more widely recognised coins to hold.

Id love one of these, well either a £1, 20p, 10p, 5p, not so hot on the 2p or 50p for some reason

An everyday coin in gold just seems special 

Trouble is the premiums, just silly

Atkinsons have a few £1 up atm just can't bring myself to pay much above spot

Link to the atkinsons? Or are you on about the two sets they have?

[Guest]

No worry on the saleability of these coins. They come up very rarely on eBay and there were 60+ bids fighting to buy. They are a very different and cool choice.. Everyday coins in gold... If anyone has a cheap 2p 1p and 10p let me know.

They also had a single £1 on its own, can't find it on the site, had to look at my history to find it (had sold)

the page you're linking to has a live spot-derived  price. assuming they sold it for this, the premium is only 6.6% inc delivery which i think is bloody good for a proof coin in case with coa!

I think it's the one I bought last year for £436.05 and was a around what sovereignsteve has calculated.  Couldn't pass at such a low premium really.

Usually the premiums are higher but every now and again, you can get some good deals from Atkinsons.

I will give you £450 + postage, that's a nice profit in there for you
