Another £100 coin

[HelpingHands]

 

When do I put them up on evilbay??

 

 Well it was whoever got their big bens on first got the most.  High buy-it-nows with make-an-offer.

 

Probably too late now though for the Buck Palace.  It looks like some are only getting £100 before fees at the moment.

Had two calls selling me coins from the RM in one month. Desperation? I don't think the palace is selling well...

From that page:

"How much is two ounces worth? 

Well This is Money found 1oz 999 silver bars selling for £19.84 on the Gold Bullion Co website - so two would be just shy of £40"

 

So, linking to a website that's suffered a major security breach, I can perhaps forgive them that, but considering the website lists the actual spot price per ounce on every bloody page, there really is no excuse for saying 2 ounces is worth nearly double the actual price.

 

Pity, because the remainder of the article is more or less accurate and it looks like some of you lot have been having your way with the comments section

I see that the Royal Mint have limited the new £20 coin to 150,000 after they struggled to sell the Churchill £20 coin.

I've just bought a 1/10 oz lunar sheep from the Royal Mint and I'm not all that impressed with how they go about things. First you have to open an account and transfer over cash to fund it, you can't do anything until you have funds in your account. They only hold the price for 10 seconds so if your coin is £95 like mine was you really have to transfer over £100 just in case the price goes up slightly.  If it goes down you are left with a small amount that I have not really looked into the ease of how you transfer it back.

Then there's the postage, no mention of how it's sent, when you are getting it etc. most other places do it all so much better,

 

Edit - Just got a dispatched e-mail now with tracking info to follow, took them long enough, been 6 days since I placed the order.
