Silver Deals.....

[Danny-boy]

Thanks for the quick replies, sounds very reasonable. I can't decide what to buy next after discovering this cheaper way to buy silver. I will definitely go for a 10oz something but also tempted by a stack of 1.5oz polar bears which are a very good price. Another part of me is saying hold off and buy something golden in the new year, decisions decisions...

10oz coins are very special, I only have one but wow.

Agree that the polars are an awesome price, and limited mintage also (and first in the series).

Wait and buy some gold if you are nearing retirement, or buy some silver if you are young and have some fire in your belly (runs and hides).

I'm 35 so a few years until retirement yet. I recently decided to look for somewhere better to put a few k of savings, thought about the usual suspects such as premium bonds, ISAs etc but none of them filled me with much excitement. Buying some shiny metal sounded like much more fun and the more I read up about it the more it made sense, and I get to feel a little bit like James Bond too.

Think your have your head in a good place with the P Bonds. A good spread if a wise idea. you could even try a whisky auction IF you can leave the cap on the bottle.

[Clens92]

Not a massive 'deal', but HGM have Maple Leafs in stock.  About £15 landed for 20.  Might be worth a call to see if slabbed etc.

 

And the gold Double Sovereign they have is a 2004 proof, no COA or box.

If someone fancies a challenge getting the other three coins in the proof set, he is a 2004 proof 4 coin box WITH COA

STG have Veinna Philharmonics for £12.53  and with the free postage .

Sorry If I'm stepping on any toes by posting this

5oz 2014 proof Britannia, 21 hours left, £341, free postage

 

RM were selling them for £395, so maybe if someone had second thoughts about getting one this might be a good opportunity (depending on how much it spikes up near the end)

Damn... it's at £570.00 with just under an hour to go

 

If you got one of these it's looking like a good investment!. 

[Hookythestacker]

Looks a bit of an odd one that Kman,  two bidders pushing the price up one of whom has racked up 42 bid retractions, then the low feedback win at the end, be interesting to see what the next one makes.

[craig12]

not really jaw dropping but atkinsons have the sunshine mint bars  x 10 at a price around £9 less than buying 1  x 10 oz sunshine mint bar

i always thought a 10 ouncer should cost less than 10 seperate 1 oz bars

Now you know that that doesn't always happen.

[Yeti]

So I've pulled the trigger on a 1kilo metalor bar from hgm @ £470 works out £15 an oz....meant to be a nice bar so they say...pics to follow!

Wasn't it £392? or do they add vat on after or..

[Yeti]

Vat on top mate...

oh, ouch. Would be better if they displayed the full price. 

[craig12]

looks like atkinsons are copying the bbp idea of best value silver coins , max 10  they choose the coins

 

had a quick giggle to myself as the description says can contain  brits,phils,noahs,maples, sm round, and lunars and pandas

 

now im no mind reader but i can lay next months wages theres no pandas in your bundle

[HelpingHands]

In the past I did 3x bbp best value buys which were phils twice. The third time I tried when they were out of stocks on phils/maples/ase to see what I'd get. I got Brits but with scuffed edges.

Free The Fourth Portait with Lunar Year Coin Orders at The Royal Mint Use code BND043

 

If you order a lunar sheep proof, you'll get a free The Fourth Portrait – Final Editions BU Set worth RRP £25

 

 

So the Lunar proof will cost you £82.50, you'll get a free £25 coin set, (not silver sadly), but I'm sure it can be flipped on ebay for a small profit and reduce the cost of the lunar proof. The code does work as I've just tested it.

 

 

[morezone]

Not really a deal as such but I've just been working some numbers for those who have yet to pickup the Perth Mint Lunar Goat.

STG currently have them listed for £16.44 with 1227 in stock.  You can wait and see if spot drops and hope it doesn't go up.  If it does drop, you need to bank on STG still having stock for when you make your purchase and should they run out before you hit the buy button, the nearest reliable UK shipping dealer with a decent amount of stock is 65p more expensive.  Shipping is also considerably more expensive than STG as well so factoring this in you would need spot to drop to £10 or so based on purchasing a single roll.

 

If you have no interest in the Lunar Goat, then you can completely disregard this post.  I only mention it because it has a limited mintage and premiums creep up as stock becomes scarce.

[HighlandTiger]

You'll need to be very very quick less than 10 mins to end of auction

 

60 oz of Silver currently just over £400.

[HighlandTiger]

Someone got an absolute bargain here. Looking at the pics at least 40 of the coins were definitely .999 1 oz coins, I'm assuming the rest were as described

 

Sold for £582 delivered. That's £9.70 an ounce delivered. 

 

Did anyone here get it?

[Murph]

People often sell sterling or lower content silver but quote the total weight and don't use troy ounces on ebay.

In this case though, at least 40 of the coins were .999 one ounce silver. I checked on Numista

 

But even if it was 60 ounces of sterling, it would still be £10.49 per t/oz

 

Well under spot whatever way you look at it.  .

[sovereignsteve]

CelticGold currently have 2013 Philharmonics for 17 Euro or £12.56 which is 11% over spot as I write. The shipping is extra so you need to buy a lot to get the cost per coin down.
