Scottsdale prepper bars

[paulmerton]

Atkinsons have just started stocking these, and the pricing doesn't seem too crazy if you're into 1g bars. The packaging looks the same as used in the Heimerle and Meule UnityBoxes from a few years ago.

They've had the silver bar version on their site for a week or so already, but the pricing for that one is insane (£231 for 100g!)

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

Scottsdale Mint makes some really nice pieces (elegant designs).  It's been a while since I browsed their offerings and I had not seen those before.  I like it better than the Valcambi styled "candy bars" which are meant to be snapped apart.

Heimerle & Meulle make something similar called unity bars.  Unfortunately I've never seen anybody flogging these in the UK.

The Silver 1g is available and was launched a few months ago. The premium is high, so I did not stock it. The selling price is £220. I am selling a Scottsdale 100g cast bar for £97.00, which is the cheapest in the UK. Everyone else is selling £120, so I am not going to list the 1g for double premium. Regarding price, I do try to offer the best price where possible, but that is not possible for every item. I sell the Geiger 1g silver and offer a volume discount on them; this brings the price down to under £200. but low on stock at the moment, will be selling soon on the forum. Watch this space.

Just noticed this today on the atkinsons website. Nice presentation and good incentive for those wanting smaller fractional gold to use up when required. Overall, I like the idea and the way it's packaged. If Scottsdale made a coin-version equilavent then it might entice me more.

I would still sway more towards the valcambi bars to be honest compared to this offering. Better and cleaner finish.
