What if they call postage "free shipping"?

It's like they don't know what happens stacks of precious metals when taken onboard a ship!

No such thing as a free lunch.

This is NOT a good deal.  I have said it before HGM are good at bullion deals, but when it come to proof or graded coins, they haven't a clue. 

Look at this graded coin, if it was a Gillick, you would not be impressed, a Victoria, yes,  for crying out loud, this is a 2023, graded so low and on sale for a ridiculous amount.

Just had a wee look. Had a giggle at the condition described as 'better than bullion' ... its a bullion coin so that is a fair old achievement, and obviously PCGS disagree!!!

Very true, but then again, why grade a bullion coin that is as common as that one?😮🤔

Either way, like many others on TSF, I find 1oz gold bullion unaffordable and am looking at 1/4oz gold, but when you multiply the cost by 4 in your head you realise it’s ‘silly money’
 

My last 1oz Britannia was in 2017 having paid £1031. That’s where I’d rather be, but if it dropped below £1500 I might be interested again. I am definitely not one of those wanting the gold price to go to the moon - go into space maybe, then come down again👎

Anyway here’s my last Britannia…..(for my 800th posting)😀

It's funny, though, isn't it? We generally buy the stuff purely because it's expensive, and then complain if it's too expensive. On the one hand, the fact that it used to cost less is a concern because the price could fall again. On the other, is it all just a matter of timing because that's the old lower price that you happen to remember/have bought at?

I find it safer not to do the math.... if I did, I’d probably not having anything in the stack but a pile full of cash waiting for the deepest of dips and crying when Friday comes and up it goes again

not really because you can get a 1/4 oz brit for around £420 and current 1oz brit being sold roughly around £1650 its not that much different at £30 or even £40 and the 1/4oz will always hold that higher premium you bought it at when selling

Jubilee Sovereigns for £385 Delivered anyone?

Decent price on a 1oz chunk of shiny: [https://www.chards.co.uk/one-ounce-krugerrand-bullion/558]

[paulmerton]

I know these are quite sought after and that's not an outrageous price considering.

I’ve not seen this design before, it’s making me rethink all my morals I had about proof coins! 
 

Does anyone know how much one of these would cost in pf70?

I've seen some for sale in the 900s recently. I think it's the best coin in the platinum jubilee range imho.

I’ve not seen that before either but if you’re thinking of buying and getting graded is that not risky as it was pre owned mate?

Completely agree. Reminds me a lot of the 1989 design but at a more budget friendly price 😅

Oh Yh I completely agree. I wouldn’t be going for this one based on what you said but I’ll keep my eye out for any that pop up already graded. This is the first time I’ve seen this design though so don’t think they pop up all that often.
