Gold stacker

[morezone]

Royal Mint lunars have all been a bit naff in my view. A single polish finish through and through doesn't give it any definition. A good coin needs to incorporate both frosted/matt with shiny/polished parts.

Agreed, I bought one lunar horse last year and hated it. If only they stuck to the quality of the .958 32 gram Britannia they would probably be really nice.

Is anyone gold stacking at these prices?

 

[KDave]

Not really stacking but I did buy a 2002 sovereign from Arshi the other day. Collectables only ATM. The gold money I'm holding as cash until this breakout is confirmed. I tell myself I am happy with my current position so can afford to wait and see. I would not be too bothered if the price rises while in cash, but I would be bothered if I bought more gold now, increase my average and then the price dropped again.

I bought a few more collectable items off Ebay when the price peaked, usually I would never look at them but stuff that had been listed under 30 day sales and went on a few weeks before the big price spike suddenly looked more appealing, proof boxed with COA gold that was £80 more than a bullion coin suddenly became a fiver more than a bullion coin.

Problem is the 150g proof Panda maxes the budget, a smidge over £6500.

Think I will go for it.  Will defo have to get some cotton gloves and wont be popping it out of the capsule

How do the previous years perform and are there many buyers for them?

Judging by ebay prices they do ok -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=3&_nkw=5oz%20gold%20panda&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=2&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

 

[HelpingHands]

Is that just asking prices?  I can't see any as 'sold'.

[mr-dead]

just put in a 8500 Euro offer on a 2016 150g Gold proof Panda on ebay.

The company has it on their website for 8500 Euro but more expensive on ebay (same company) so if they match their website price its mine

Only bought it on ebay as their website is all in German so hard to understand.

Never bothered with either, just signed up for Nectar on ebay and it works out over £30 cash back on the 1 transaction - a couple of free oz of silver

Just have to wait now and see if they accept my offer.

[Danny-boy]

I work it out to £100 equivalent nectar.

£5000 is 5000 points, 500 points is £2.50 giving £25 cash back.

There is a quadruple point deal at the moment giving £100.

Even better the coin works out just over £6500, so £130 in Nectar points.

It's a really massive premium isn't it?

RM style premium

What's the resale on this type of coin like? how easy would it be to sell in future? 

[mr-dead]

The hunt continues for a trusted 150g panda seller, I have retracted my best offer on the coin.

I had a pm on silverstackers saying the seller on ebay is not to be trusted has been known to sell fakes and repackaged coins.

Got this link with additional info :
