£1 Silver. Who?

[Shamatti]

I mean seriously! Who buys this stuff?

a silver proof £1 coin which they proudly proclaim as "This proud Piedfort contains a full 19 grammes of 925 sterling silver"

 

That's right you heard it.. A FULL 19 grams. Full! Not just under 19.... What does that mean, it isn't even full silver, it is 925 sterling! A Full 19 part grams of silver! For £100 ONE HUNDRED QUIDS!!!!! A full!!!! £100 bleedin' quid!

 

I work out a full 19 grams of 925 silver at £12.77 per troy ounce for solid silver to be worth a total of...... Dah dahhhhh!!!! £6.0856

 

FOR ONE HUNDRED QUID!

 

Really!? Who is it? No wonder they are only making 1000. lol

Id pay £20 for it , £100 is just insane but someone must be buying them

[Keithoil]

Just checked I do have some, but mine worked out at £11.62 each. They are proof but not Piedfort.

Yup me to, I have 3 standard royal mint proof pound coins, very nice I think and probably worth about £10 in today's market.

I'd happily pay £10 to £12 for them all day, at that price they might turn a few quid in a few years time. I am sure they are nice coins.

They are preying on peoples ignorance, and making a fat profit.

 

The theorist in me wonders if they want people to realise they have been ripped off and assume stacking PM's is a mugs game?

any less than 19 grams would have been taking the mick

Send them an email and let them know of your disapproval.

The Piedforts make £20-£30 in the 2nd hand market if you want one wait a year or two.
