    This is quite smart, and actually £10 for a £5 coin is not bad. I saw one the other day, can't remember but it was something like £10 for a commemerative 1p piece. So might get this, what's does everyone else think?

    Actually, total cost = £12.90 including postage, there are other mini coins available.
    I've ordered one

    Sorry, i gotta disagree yes the coin value is a tenner, but, it's a limited edition run and not actually legal tender, it's a collectors item and should actual retain it's value for the short term and actually, well, hopefully, increase in later years

    Had a little browse through the site quickly and all I can say is that it is just as well I am sitting down at the moment!!!

    But Like Alan has said you have to remember these are COLLECTABLE coins etc and should retain their value and even (most likely) increase in value especially the rarer (more limited ones) ones.

    Like buying a house it will always increase in value.

    I have been collecting all sorts of stuff for years now think i might treat myself to one of those coins (the cheaper one!!)

    Yeh. I just see it as short term though When it comes to money like that i just see it as face value, maybe worth a little bit more if its a limited edition
