Today I bought.....

[Keithoil]

Thats a hell of a price I ordered from USA and cost me £23/coin.

 

But I have looked on the bay UK and theses coins are commanding quite a premium now, which is good news.

Yes, I had all but passed on this series due to price, but when a set came up at under £120 delivered, there was really no way I could refuse.

[Keithoil]

Just got my two timber wolfs also so now have two full sets!!!

 

One set cost my £18.66 per coin that was with the duty etc paid, form Canada.

Bugger, you win!!!

[Keithoil]

Whoops!! I have just checked the spreadsheet I have three full sets.

 

I have 21 Canadian Wildlife Series one coins in total and they average out at £22/coin.

[Danny-boy]

Good average there K.

Should see some returns on those buddy.

[Keithoil]

Yes in 20-30 years..

[Danny-boy]

Yes in 20-30 years..

That'll do me nicely!!!

[Keithoil]

Now cases I might look a a bit of oak!!!

[Danny-boy]

All wood looks the same to me K.

I'd be interested to see your handy work though buddy.

[Keithoil]

I have an idea for the cases, oak or similar wood, the coins inset with a glass cover (toughened safety glass) also inset in the wood. should look good. Locked down with tiny metal swivels * 4 one either side. Would be nice if they were made from silver!!! 

 

All the coins still their respective airtight capsules but completely visible.

 

Case size would be approx W-D-H 135-150 mm, 85-100 mm, and 25 mm ish.

When you live and breath silver every day like we do and have your stack in plastic wrapped and stored away it is not very sexy,if you can display your stack like Dan do's i think you will enjoy your stacking a lot better,but then it's the theft side of stacking again.If you can get passed the dog to my stack good luck, but i still have to have it squirreled away rather on display. 

[Keithoil]

@SS Yes I agree, but if I do make any boxes for storing the Canadian Wildlife Series 1 in they too will be locked away. I would not take a chance by having it on display only to get it nicked.

 

Simply just not worth it.

That stack is still rising K.

May I ask where you ordered? STG?

[Keithoil]

Yes STG.

[Danny-boy]

Yes STG.

I was just about to push the button on a £200+ order with STG and realised I could save £2 with ESB.

There really isn't a lot between them, other than increased choice on ESB.

I do like those two sites very much, very cheap silver if you are a stacker.

I had 12oz for an average of £16.66 earlier, and that was lunar / panda / maple. Mental.

[Keithoil]

Yes mmmmmm....

 

Actually they are very similar in price.

ESB is slightly expensive I have found. Especially precious year coins.

Make sure you work all associated costs.

I bought some kook privys from ESB recently, and then worked out it would have been cheaper to buy from Apmex even with $50 shipping and customs and VAT charges!

ESB compared to silver to go might fall down to order size. As orders under 500g are only 19.90€ to be shipped with ESB. But they charge an 29.90€ on orders up to 1kg and a massive 39.90€ on orders 1-2kg. Shipping for 1kg on silver to go is only 17.95€. This is a huge difference. 17.95 vs 39.90!

[Danny-boy]

Yes C, it's definitely worth comparing the shipped price on both before placing an order with the cheapest.
