Shinus73 got a reaction from Anteater in Has the secondary silver market hit the market saturation point.
Questionable origin? A bit cryptic…
it’s always been difficult to sell a monster box and it’s currently quite difficult to sell any larger volume, as money is tight.
That’s it really.

If somebody has a stack of 2111 Britannias, I have other questions!

Shinus73 got a reaction from ZigZag in Perth mint Kookaburra chat
The first silver coin I bought was a 1 oz 1996 Kookaburra from eBay, way back in 2010. Have owned 100’s since then, but only have this one currently, picked up last week.

Shinus73 got a reaction from HonestMoneyGoldSilver in Ebay Seller Morality
I won 4 South Africa 50% Crowns for £36 shipped last night.
Seller claimed that my address wasn’t legitimate in the automated Royal Mail online payments system. Asked him to take it to a Post Office, cancelled the order. I think he was expecting higher bids.
Very annoying.

Shinus73 got a reaction from StackToCollect in Investigation into Historic Coin Pricing by The Royal Mint
Very simply, the overpricing of historic coins and ‘sets’ by the RM in recent times is immoral.
It replicates the worst behaviour of the Sunday Magazine rip off companies, but is worse coming from a trusted organisation with unique and privileged access to the back catalogue of British coins.

Shinus73 reacted to SovereignBull in Emergency funds
I’m an awful saver. As in zero savings ever! I like things I buy them!
However…..
I started buying Gold & Silver at the start of December last year. I now have around £7000 saved in Precious Metals at current spot price.
For those of us that struggle to save I can’t think of anything better than Gold to buy.
You get something physical to hold onto, it’s beautiful to look at and very easy to sell if you desperately need the funds!
The very best thing about it though is once you have it, you want more and you don’t want to sell it!
Perfect scenario for me

Shinus73 got a reaction from Zhorro in 2024 Britannia proof range
Honestly friend, nobody in the UK is being given favourable treatment by the RM.
Every link seems to take you a different selection, finding stuff is difficult and the e-mail usually arrives after the thing you want is sold out.
I missed out on the 2-coin set as the RM decided today was the day they needed me to submit personal documents before I could buy anything (despite having an account manager) and then didn't get round to reviewing them.

Shinus73 reacted to JeffM in 2024 Britannia proof range
Sad indeed. I’m finding that often the dealers are the way to go. However, being in the U.S., I prefer buying from the RM whenever possible because they deduct the VAT from the cost.

Shinus73 reacted to BackyardBullion in British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
Reached out to my account manager again, still no news or commitment either way as to when/if things will come out.
Just to clarify the above - my AM replied saying they don't know rather than no anser at all.

Shinus73 got a reaction from timsk in British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
I read a comment from another poster either here on SF, or on a Facebook group, that they have delayed the series until 2025 or 2026. Ludicrous either way.
My Account Manager has not responded to my last request for clarity (may have been the volume of complaining). 🙂

Shinus73 reacted to Silverhigh in Gold Oriental Britannia’s
Gold Oriental Britannia’s for sale.
Lovely coins that you don’t often see up for sale. All coins are in fantastic condition and have been well looked after.
The coins have a limited mintage of 5000 and are a real eye pleaser, if you’re a fan of Britannia coins.
Photos were taken last week (hence date), which is when I planned to put them up for sale, but I didn’t get around to it, as I’ve been a bit busy.
£sold, plus postage.
BT and UK only.
Thanks for looking.

Shinus73 got a reaction from motorbikez in Rarest Modern Coin You Own
Created this topic purely to show off one of my favourites.
A 1/4 oz gold proof Noble in PF70.
Other than this Agincourt Privy issue, I know of no other 1/4 oz gold proof Nobles that were ever struck.
Mine came in a certificate saying number 10 of 600, but I've only ever seen one other of this type for sale.
I've therefore decided that mine was the last minted and there are in fact only ten. 🙂
