Well my "overr priced" silver arrived.... Might actually be a good investment??
I wrote a blog on Friday talking about how the Royal Mint keep churning out OVER PRICED SILVER and that idiots like me keep lapping it up. Well the Gruffalo coin I orders on Thursday has arrived.
Nothing different to the last coin in the series, but It does look nice though, and 1/2pint (my son) has already been playing with it.
I managed to get number - 15987. A reflectively high number, when considering only 25000 have been minted in this series. Unless you get a good number, like 11111, 12345.... Etc, collectors like to get as low as number as possible.
With that in mind, I went to the Royal Mint in person yesterday to pick up a few more. I ordered the one I have "online" as I got in early (first minute) and was hoping for a low number. I wanted a few extra to store away and a fellow steemian, by the name of @nealmcspadden asked if I could get him one. On arriving at the RM the shelf where they keep the Gruffalo coins has been picked clean. This is a good sign that collectors are buying them up.
I spoke to the very un-helpful staff working there and asked if they would be getting any more in stock? After looking at me blankly, for what felt like forever, she replied "not that I know of, but try next week. We have some still in stock online."
Seeing that the shelves were empty, this coin might be more popular than I first though.
Could this actually be an "over priced silver coin" that actually pays off??

That’s so nice @welshstacker, that you can stop by the Royal Mint!!👍
I think we all buy “special “ coins and rounds that have a higher premium.
For me it’s like a present, for all the bullion stacked you need to reward yourself!!!👍🤗
Stack on my friend!!!
Silvertop..Mike 😊
It came!!! An anniversary gruffalo! It sure looks very pretty! See what I told you... I can appreciate the design of the coin even if it is inside the plastic because it is colorized! Congratulations on your acquisition, @welshstacker. Have a great day today, my friend. Take care.
i just got a couple of cupronickel BUNC ones today \o/
Nice, I suppose. I'm not much of a saver, although I used to be, but when it all disappeared one day I gave up on it.
