Squeeze them in just enough and with the lid on the coins won’t move and scratch!🤔😮😁

I was thinking that was the case. It creeps on you very quickly. Next problem is being logged in when they do hit the "market" and beating you to it! 🤣

I've just looked and the last sovereign I bought on here was a full memorial at £445. It wasn't even that long ago ffs. 

Circa £450 felt right. Paying near £500 for one plays with my brain as that 1/4oz Britannia money.

What's the most amount of bullion sovereigns that you've fitted in a RM tube?

Not a competition, just a query 😊

p.s. circulation coins, which will make a difference.

In the RM yellow top tube usually can get 30 just

If you're stacking halves this is ideal. Pop a couple of end caps on and you can stack 3m worth of them

How long can a polypipe tube be before it snaps under the weight of the sovereigns within...

@HerefordBullyun has another use for this

30/31 is great news, thanks!

They're only going to sit in a SD box so little risk of damage.

Perhaps James32 tried to test that - but ran out of polypipe

It's not just the stickers and labels that will need redacting... 🫢😁

I think you misquoted me, but we don't need tp split hairs about it!

30 sovs sound decent if you are thinking about long term storage. Bet you can still fit a bit of tracing paper in between the coins. I might try it on my next visit to the SDB.

On Friday, a cutomer brought into us a large quantity of gold sovereigns for storage.

He had some of them in very long, oversized tubes. I got our photographer to take photos of one of them, which he did.

As it is Sunday, and I am WFH, I do not have access to them right now, but in any case there were some stickers and labels on them which will need redacting before we can share them pubicly.

There were not RM tubes, but were apapted from cardboard shipping tubes which had originally contained automobile components.

The customer did tell us how many coins were in each tube, but I do not recall the quantity. One of more of our staff might remember, so I will ask @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer on Monday.

The tube in question!

Going by the door handle, it's at least one meter plus in length. Also looks a bit wide in diameter for sovereigns. Clanger city.

I thought that, and expected it be be for Britannias, Krugers, or other large coins, but apparently the coins (sovereigns) inside were in rolls, and the large adapted tubes (note: plural) were for easy handling and carrying.

Russian Dolls Tubes. Tubular rolls in a tube transported in the Tube. Infantile I know. I've already grabbed my coat.
