I Bought a 1 KILO Silver Coin!

#Gold #silver #preciousmetals
I bought a 1 KILO Silver Britannia From The Royal Mint!
In this video I talk about the 1 KILO silver Coin that I recently bought. I talk about the pros and cons of buying a bar of silver like this and certainly one in the Kilo silver coin size. If you are a silver stacker or silver investor and you are buying silver coins or silver bars then this is the video for you. Silver is real money and has been used as real money for thousands of years. Generic silver is a specific type of silver that is usually in the form of silver bars or silver rounds. Silver coins are not included in the generic silver category. Not only do we define generic silver but we also talk about the merits of stacking it. Silver and gold are wealth protection and I believe everyone should be stacking them. Silver coins are good but silver bars have some magic to them and no more so than a Kilo Silver Coin.
Key Features
Each Britannia 2023 bullion coin featuring the fifth and final effigy of Queen Elizabeth II has a limited production run. A Britannia coin featuring King Charles III’s first effigy will be released in the new year.
The largest coin in this range
Struck in one kilo of 999 fine silver for the first time
Enhanced with four advanced security features
A latent image changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident
Surface animation brings the background of waves to life
The micro-text provides both decoration and protection
Britannia’s shield bears the Union flag, which is accented with tincture lines
Encapsulated in a single coin capsule
Britannia has been cast as the female personification of Britain for centuries, evolving through the ages to capture the spirit of a nation and its people. First appearing on the coins of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, Britannia has been a continuous presence on British coins since 1672. Today, this icon appears on our flagship Britannia bullion coin. Renowned for its beauty and reliability, this incarnation of Britannia was created by sculptor Philip Nathan in 1987. He presented the ‘queen of the seas’ with carefully chosen symbols of Britain’s identity - a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace and a trident for her maritime links. The award-winning design has become so highly regarded that only The Royal Mint is able to strike genuine Britannia coins featuring Philip Nathan’s interpretation. This modern classic has been struck on the 2023 bullion coin, which contains one kilo of 999 fine silver and depicts Britannia standing boldly amongst the waves.
This one kilo silver coin includes four additional security features, as does the one ounce fine silver and the one ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth-ounce fine gold editions of the coin.

I JUST ordered my first kilo coin and it's also a Britannia, except I think it has King Charles as the face. Super stoked to get it! I'm right there with you - it's more a "pure fun" piece than an "investment," but it could luck out down the road as a collectible.

[@PoorRichardsAlmanac]

I received this in the US in 6 days from ordering direct from the Royal Mint. Amazingly fast! And beautiful.

[@yvainwalker4504]

Beautiful coins! No way I could ever have these but so interesting to see! Two very different coins, lovely Brittania! But I agree, that Queen's Beasts completer coin is incredible!!

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks!

[@francodelrio7989]

if there are no milk spots, it’s not a BRITANNIA! It’s a safety feature included for free , for stackers!!!

Seeing the 2 kgs side by side, I prefer the britannia

[@rayNC2023]

That's an awesome coin. I bought a Cook Islands kilo coin earlier this year and I love it.

[@RisingMoon697]

I understand exactly why you bought a 1 kilo coin. I purchased the 2020 1 kilo sitting bull silver coin from Samoa. The mintage is a low 199 coins and to me it's more of a piece of art than it is a coin. I doubt I'll ever get my money back out of it but I knew that when I purchased it. The fine detailed art work was worth it. If you've never seen this coin up close you should go take a look at The Coin Shoppe.

[@darrenbullman9450]

Has it gone up.much out of curiosity

[@RisingMoon697]

@@darrenbullman9450 I don't think so but spot was higher back then and I've never seen one for sale since I bought it. It's more of a show piece and people are amazed at it's size and detail 😂

[@jamiethornton5358]

I collect mostly 10oz and 1 kilo coins. I have quite a few 1 kilos including the completer (my favourite piece) and I so desperately wanted the 1kilo Britannia. It's an absolutely stunning coin. However, I just can't pay the price for it. I usually pay between £720 - £840 for my kilos, and the cheapest I could find this one for was just shy of £1000. As much as I love it and want it, I can't justify that price and will have to sadly go without it which breaks my heart 😢 EDIT: I posted this comment halfway through the video before I got to the bit near the end saying you didn't want people moaning about the price in the comments... sorry 🤣

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@stackit303]

The Royal Mint has them @893.49 pounds = Au $1571.93 + Post,As much as i would like one, I`m not paying those prices for a bullion coin,Hopefully a bullion dealer i use gets them in for around the $1200 price range.

[@inviz1769]

Where to buy it??

[@darrenbullman9450]

Baird's are selling it at £875 , oh plus vat 🤦

[@PoorRichardsAlmanac]

I ordered one this morning for delivery here in the US. The order says free shipping and no VAT. $973 USD total. That’s about the same price per once for a 1oz Britannia. Curious how long it will take to get here. Can’t wait!

[@NMAMxRE]

Did the same, it is a piece of art made out of silver, a sexy treasure.

[@BalloonFight]

A stunner for sure. Whenever I do end up picking a silver of kilo up, I'll be going for the cheapest option, but damn do I want this beautiful coin. Fantastic pickup imo. The Queens beast is incredible and intricate as well.

[@BackyardBullion]

It is stunning!

[@sesarssauce8698]

This is why I prefer 5oz 10oz and Kilo coins, You get to admire all the detail 😍😍😍

[@BackyardBullion]

[@crystalcars5210]

Ordinarily I would never buy a 1kg coin as the premiums are too high; BUT I think you just changed my mind with this one coin. Thank you for sharing mate

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@dream4playz]

I understand your position on this. I usually try to find silver at spot or less on the secondary market just to be safe. I see the VAT as a risk. Once in a while though, I spend significantly over spot just because I find something beautiful, usually silver antiques. Sometimes you don't mind paying a little extra for a beautiful piece. 🙂

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks for the comment and for sharing your opinions!

[@wontgetfooledagain8178]

I bought a kilo silver coin off eBay for $843 USD, if I recall correctly. it is such a cool item! I just like the novelty of it and I gave it to my daughter as a gift.

Great vid, I'm definitely buying one of these, VAT and premium regardless, what a great coin. 👍

lovely piece of metal. congratulations

[@davidjames7847]

I bought the 1 Kilo QB Completer Coin and was a bit underwhelmed by the quality of my particular purchase, but like a love struck teenagr I will probably go back for more disapointmnt and heart break!! I love the 10oz Britannia the RM produced in 2021, which was stunning and in my case flawless and wonder why they have never done a 10oz Britannia every year? Answers on a Postcard please!

[@1betterthan]

The 1 kg QB Completer coin look very nice but i missed out on that one, and are now out of my price range but do have the 10oz Brit and think they look pretty cool.

[@meteoman7958]

That scuffing on the cheek would be a deal breaker for me. Usually larger encapsulated RM bullion coins are quite perfect. How does the Perth mint make their coins so beautifully, where the RCM and RM smaller coins are consistently flawed.?

[@BackyardBullion]

You cannot see it at all when the capsule is on. I can live with it.

[@meteoman7958]

I have seen for sale a three piece QE II solid silver tea set for sale at about the same price as the coin per gram, over spot, but you are buying it because you like it, and it’s a piece or pieces to be admired.

Hello Byb! I love britannia coin... once of silver and gold are beautiful. Your kilo looks nice, but i'm agree with you, the beast coin is better! Have a nice day!

Here in The USA it's hard to come by and the premium is high as well. I would love to get one. Especially with the Queen!

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

I think almost all Kilo coins are stunning just because of their sheer size in relation to other normal coins. It would be nice to have one of these, but I just can't justify buying at that price! The tax spoils everything in the UK.

[@TheJetLou]

Over an 8% rally in price just. I only just started my silver collection last week. I bought 50 1oz Britannia's and a few oz's of scrap silver to begin with.

[@BackyardBullion]

Awesome, great to hear you have got started!

[@bgs9man]

Nice purchase. I would love to own at least one kilo round. A nice caveat to your purchase makes it the last year of the Queen’s portrait so that certainly won’t hurt. You did well.

[@greg6379]

I got one when it was first released. It's a beauty, and it is an important piece in my Britannia collection. There are other pieces I'm still seeking out while waiting for the right price and condition, but this was an easy trigger-pull for me. And yes, first thing I did after examining it was to pull off the capsule and give it a blow with the lens cleaner, tons of dust/fabric shards on it, looked horrible before I blew it off. I'm very curious what the final mintage count is going to be on these.

[@BackyardBullion]

Its very nice indeed.

[@lexlieberman]

Would 100% buy if premium was not so insane. This is on my wishlist.

[@noicue8078]

Beautiful coin but no doubt way out of my price range. The largest round I have is a 5 ounce, and IMO it’s a bit cumbersome. Enjoy the coin in good health. Take care.👍

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Great vid! The premium on this(I actually got the King Charles III version) killed me as well but I had to have one. It's just too pretty and historic. It arrives next week. I also find it funny that APMEX here in the states was trying to charge $1800.00 + tax. I bought mine from The Royal Mint for only(still expensive of course) for $1020.00 all in w/free shipping. A substantial savings! So with this and a couple of other coins my stacking journey is now complete...finally :)

[@Hamachingo]

I love me some kilo coins, however the Britannia is not the best choice really. It's not something with a yearly changing motif (so you don't have collectors just missing that one coin to complete a collection), the minting quality is rather average, the premium you pay right from the dealer was rather high. I'd much rather recommend the Perth Kookaburra or Lunar kilos. However I like the design of the current Britannia coins the most and who knows, these might turn out to be very limited mintage with the queen effigy and all. You're probably not gonna get your premium back when eventually selling it, but having that iconic coin to look at without a magnifying glass is good. Also: Thanks for showing it without the capsule in all its glory.

Yeah I know what you mean though the completer coin is spectacular imo.

[@AhmedNour-wh1fc]

Who cares about the price its stunning 😍

[@GurtGobain]

Should I get into stacking silver if I'm not a good negotiator? My concern is if the time ever comes to sell my silver, being able to bargain and get a good price from local coin shops. I'm a bit of a pushover, have social anxiety, and don't like confrontation or haggling lol. I guess worst case I should always be able to get spot, right? Problem is that even silver rounds seem to be selling for 30% over spot right now. So prices have to go up 30% just for me to break even.

[@BackyardBullion]

Go for gold instead.

[@TheAgTeam]

I’m itching still to get one. The Britannia trumps the completer imo. I don’t care about price when it’s that stunning.
