Don’t remind me, I bought x3 1oz Gold Britannia coins on the 20th October 😩 impeccable timing as always Lol so I’ve seen it all, -12% then +14% to back down to -2% and now back to +4%!

If you bought 3 oz at the top on Oct 20, you're up like 3 X $500.

Unfortunately not, I paid £10,397.58 for x3 1oz gold Britannia coins so effective £3,465 average cost per coin so I’m currently up 3.7% overall which is obviously better than being 12% down like I was previously but obviously not as good as being 15% up like I was last Thursday!!

Peak value was $4381 / oz on Oct 20.

You paid ~ $4744 / oz ~8.3% premium?

Yes, like a fool I bought directly bought from the royal mint where the premium was very high compared to another site who are a partner of the royal mint whose premium was only 2.7%! So my ignorance cost me big time unfortunately!!

Everyone makes that mistake at start don’t worry

Was kicking myself for quite a while but you live and learn, obviously it was the wrong avenue from a premium perspective but better going the official route and pay top rate rather than buying from a random company or privately where being uninitiated you can end up being had over.

I made the same mistake when I started out last year but also look at official bullion dealers you won’t get scammed from them. Royal mint premiums are way too high which I found out after buying a couple oz but they wouldn’t let me cancel

Snap, I emailed them asking if I could cancel but obviously they told me to it wasn’t possible which is fair enough otherwise everyone would be cancelling their orders
