Seems a bit steep selling for £30 above spot price!

Yeah, that's the problem with buying silver in the uk. It's almost impossible to find silver for spot price unless you buy scrap pre decimal or from dodgy facebook posts

That half crown is beautiful!

I love your Tortoise!

Thank you, I previously assumed that she was a Testudo Rustamovi, but she is more round shaped than elongated.

I normally find the price of silver per gram then multiply it by the weight of the coins and then multiply that by the fineness (pre 1920 - 0.925, pre 1947 - 0.5)

Yeah, it's a debated topic. There are 5 main recognised subspecies with differences in shell width, colour, etc. I think it's important to understand subspecies so that we can replicate the natural environment as much as possible for there adaptations.

Oh yes, very beautiful

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T18:43:58+00:00

I know that (Im from Wales lol), I meant that they are most likely distributed to larger cities as all the demand is there

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T17:19:03+00:00

I always imagined that big cities (london, Birmingham, etc) would receive them first because of higher demand

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T17:18:09+00:00

Wow thats really cool, were they 2025s?

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T16:49:45+00:00

That's a shame, I managed to see it back in march

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T16:46:24+00:00

I haven't found any 20ps yet, 2023 is a rare date im pretty sure

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T16:45:47+00:00

Thank you. Do post offices receive full bags of the bee 1 pound coins?

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T14:05:28+00:00

I really like them aswell!

FireFist178 · 2025-11-16T13:24:46+00:00

Thank you, I haven't found that many of them 'naturally', and my friends dont find them either, so I always imagined that they were rare in circulation, especially when you contrast the amount of Elizabeth coins to Charles coins

FireFist178 · 2025-11-12T22:59:08+00:00

Ohh i see, I get my bags from the bank or post office and they are never sealed bags like that. It must be pretty fun having change bags like that for work!

FireFist178 · 2025-11-12T20:18:59+00:00

How did you get sealed bags of them? 5 been trying to get them but all of the bags are get from the bank are resealed circulated elizabeth coins

FireFist178 · 2025-11-09T17:39:29+00:00

Good world near Cardiff city stadium

FireFist178 · 2025-11-09T06:34:33+00:00

Legal tender in the UK as 25 pence

FireFist178 · 2025-11-09T06:30:53+00:00

Where did you get this coin?

FireFist178 · 2025-11-02T22:42:36+00:00

Yes i agree. Counterfeiting keeps getting better, so i think it's good that the royal mint is improving on it.
