Initially, I could move down to about £200 / $330.
I could move down further in bulk.

Obviously the price is above spot due to the cost involved in minting / assay.

However the more i sell the cheaper they can be produced.

So how much for 5 ?

Yep, getting coins struck in the UK through traditional channels is VERY expensive. I speak from experience.

*ugh*

3.375 grams of fine gold content for 380$ ?!

Considering 1330$/oz (31.1 grams) spot price, that minted coin translates into roughly 3500$/oz o.0
Quite a premium for a very basic looking coin, even finest casascius coins (that also contain 1 BTC) effectively come cheaper than this - and are easier to trade due to high-grade gold purity.
375 fine (9ct) is more like an industrial alloy with some gold content, most people wouldn't even call these gold coins for that reason.

May want to reconsider that price IMHO

I like the idea, but the premiums over the gold price are just crazy.

I agree.

I'd buy 5-10 of these if it was like 5-10% over spot.
