2008 Tenth Ounce Britannia Proofs

Each year the Royal Mint issue a number of tenth ounce gold proof Britannias. The tenth ounce gold Britannias have a face value of £10, yet they sell for less than the price of a proof half sovereign, making them an attractive alternative as a gift. They are also an attractive coin, and have a lower mintage than proof half sovereigns, making them interesting for collectors.
This year's have been released, but we have so far resisted buying any.

2006 Boycott

Most years, we purchase a number of these new, ordering before they are released. This year we feel the Royal Mint's price increase is far too high, making the coins even more expensive than usual (we usually offer them at a reasonable discount). Also the Mint has reduced its dealers discounts, and increased the quantity requirements, making it even more marginal for us to stock and distribute these. We also believe the Mint's pricing to be based on gold at about £380 per ounce compared with its recent £310 level.
Although the word boycott is rather strong, we have decided not to stock and offer them from new this year, and will wait until they become available in the secondary market.
Naturally this means that we currently wish to buy these sets.
