Nutsaboutcoins Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Hi, For anyone who missed out on the £100 Buckingham Palace coin, the Royal Mint are selling them through their eBay shop for just £100 post free. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Royal-Mint-Big-Ben-2015-UK-100-Fine-Silver-Coin-UK15100B-/152016434474?hash=item2364e2b52a:g:asoAAOSwFNZWvJLt So much for them selling out within hours!

Nutsaboutcoins Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Sorry, that should have read Big Ben not Buckingham Palace. And I haven't even had a drink tonight! 1 Quote
Paulus Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 The RM and banks are no longer taking these back at FV, this whole con has now been exposed and undermined imo Chris has a Facebook Group devoted to the topic, ' Pay your court debt/fines in £20, £50 and £100 coins NOW ' Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I wonder if they're selling the ones that people have returned (which may not be entirely legal as they are 2nd hand)? I've got a £50 coin that I had to buy in order to do pics for the book. No one will even give me £43 for it now. I'll see if I can send it back the RM. Quote

Or have they minted more, undermining the value even more? Just got your 2016 decimal book Chris, great work, will have to check all my coins again for varieties I didn't know existed. Ian.. 2 Quote
Sword Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 It's like saying "it's REAL money, providing you don't try to spend it" It wonder if you can pay your taxes with them. i.e. do taxes count as "debts" to the government? Quote
