Solid gold "999", 1kg coin

Sir Elton John has been having a bit of a revival lately, not that he ever went away, to be fair..... With the immense success of the "Rocketman" film based on his life(main CHARACTER played by a Welsh man too), his 2019 autobiography, his successful lockdown benefit gig and now a set of tremendously fancy coins celebrating his contributions to music and culture.

BU uncirculated - face value £5(cost £13)

The Royal Mint in Llantrisant, South Wales, is offering a range of Elton money, which like most commemorative coins has different prices to its face values.

1oz silver proof

The cheapest Elton coin costs £13, but shows a face value of £5. The most expensive has a face value of £1,000 and costs a staggering (and very specific) £68,865. Said £70-grand trinket is a one-kilogram gold proof coin, of which only four are available -- though I would question whether even that is too many.

I try to stay close to the spot price as possible. And generic Precious Metal Rounds usually stay around spot price. Government Bullion Coins can spike to 4x or more sometimes.

As I said in @silvergoldhunter's post: I don't know each mintage, but these coins appear to be very expensive. You will have to hold them many years, to have any profit (I think).
