Is this throwing money out the window with premium that i will never get back?

10500kr is 870 punds

I think it's a stunning coin, and £870 considering a dealer isn't too bad.

Factor in cost of ownership ( enjoyment) and if you believe silver will surpass a certain spot price in years to come ( how long do you plan to hold?)

Personally I'd pay £800 for it right now from the secondary market after doing my own personal "weird" calculations, I'm not sure it has enough appeal for me to stretch to £870, so it's down to you to work that part out.

Why are you buying? Are you a collector or a stacker? Will you hold long enough to realise profits? These are all questions only you can answer unfortunately.

I personally do not buy high premium high value silver coins. 

This is because should they develop milk spots or other blemish over time, then they lose their premium.

So with 1kg silver, I buy bars instead.

I have no idea what the conversion rate is in UK £ but it is a nice looking coin. You really do like those tigers.

I think so too😂 didn't realize it before today. Since I'm you don't know me I can show of my collection for now. Startet this Christmas and I'm already feeling the gold fever

Very impressive and a collection to be proud of and cherished.

The buffalo makes me jealous

That's both a cracking start and fantastic taste for someone going in relatively blind.

I'd add a britannia/philharmonic to the gold collection then focus on the lowest premium possible on both the gold and silver.

I think the same as you. Bought 1kg kookaburra this week and paid £730 for it, so I think £870 is a lot for a tiger even if it is in a smaller edition. I think I'm a mix of a stacker, collector, gold/silver speculator who will never sell. I am working on getting to know a new side of me. lol

Wow !  Someone has caught a gold fever and should fit right in on the forum.

Have a look at the gold pandas too. They are very nice.

The buffalo looks like a fake. I think the OP should send it to me to double check. 😆

Thanks. 

I know it's just my ADHD brain that is to impulsive when I get a hang up. I am trying to get a collection of silver and gold bullions and learned that buying used online with zero to none experience isn't the smartest idea. Looks like I'm in the clear this time. 

Are there some recommendations on smart coins to buy? I'm thinking of 2023 gold Britannia 1oz with the Queen before they start with the king. 

I know a good place to get one from:

I came across a problem once with the specifications of a coin.
Due to an error the dimensions were published incorrectly and everyone else simply copied and pasted so the error was everywhere.

The fact that your coin is smaller that the spec means the spec has been written down incorrectly.
You should email the Mint and see if you get a response.

Is this coin over priced or could be a god investment? BTW i love the design so its not only as an investment

Mexico 1 Kilo Libertad 2019 Reverse Proof

I can get it for £1.250

I'm afraid of buying lots of expensive coins that I can only sell at spot, if I ever get rid of them.

Appreciate your help. greetings newbie
