Interesting price comparison for dealers Royal Mint really not coming off well at all!

Did a little price comparison this morning, these are my findnings based off £1800 spot price

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FORMAL TAX ADVICE, but my own interpretation of the rules. Thats assuming you make that much profit per bar. Its the profit on the capital not the total value that makes a difference. If you bought 100x 1g bars at £55 each and sold them all for £65 each you make £1000 profit and do not have to even declare the gain as it is below the threshold. If you had 100x 1g bars bought for £35 a few years ago and sold them for £75 each then that would be a £4000 gain. You would need to declare it and you would pay tax on the £1000 above the allowance.

WOW The Royal Mint don't learn. They are really taking the biscuit with this set https://www.royalmint.com/shop/coin-sets/Britannia-Through-the-Ages-Nine-Coin-Set/ £750!!! I have *very gernerously* totted up the consituant parts and have come to a total of £120 Shocking.

Just to confirm, I have no stake in any of this 😂

You buying me one?

If anyone wants some context, have a read through this thread.

@LawrenceChard was around when the Oxford Mint was making coins in the 1600's wasn't he? Hell, he was probably there talking to them about free postage in 871AD

Will do

No thanks. As I said, the bar is nice but pretty derivative in design (my opinion). Good luck with the product, I hope it sells well for you

@NextDayBullion being quite quiet about all this?

Oxford mint balance sheet...

Royal Mail FAIL - Silver is "Dangerous" - My £2500 package goes AWOL...

You should have kept that as a mint error it's so bad!

Ok yeah, that's really bad. @NextDayBullion any thoughts?

I agree.

Ascention islands.... Oh dear. So, I would have been super interested if this had been a mint with lost history that had been resurrected by the treasury as an alternative to the royal mint. But sadly it's just a modern mint (dime a dozen now) that is playing on the name and history. No CGT products. Bars are nice, but really shouldn't be more than £60 each.

I was just thinking this very same thing. Nice bar, but pretty derivative

Just got giggles I thought I would screenshot the first comment on this thread back from 2015

Edinburgh Mail Centre

I honestly don't know. I had another package similar dely, tracking said it went to Bristol mail centre. When I quizzed my escallations lady about this she said it never actually went to Bristol, it was just a scan of a giant bag that had everything in it and then my parcel was put into a different bag to come to Southampton. They don't know their arses from their elbows. Also, "special" delivery - they have no idea where things are at any given time beyond it was checked in at a certain place and then checked out. Whilst "in transit" their answer to everything is, we don't know where it is and have to wait for its next scan. Total joke.

At this point I also have to ask myself if King Charles is trolling me. Royal Mint And now Royal Mail
