Shopping in London

scotty1419

I'll be in London in March and would like to pick up something interesting - maybe a 2012 Britannia, etc.

Are there any convenient locations around the city for a reasonably priced one? A google search pulls in Royal Mint results for GBP 60 ea or about $88 a piece! I see various dates are selling on Ebay for about $40 ea.

Any recommendations for a shop?

If the mint sells them for a certain sum, then bulk discount will be given to dealers, but given they need to make money on what they sell you are unlikely to make much of a saving on the latest output. Where are dealers going to get deeply discounted stock from in order to undercut the RM by a significant margin?

The whole output of the RM is one large money making venture. All those who buy into it have to recognise they are paying premium prices for nothing special in most instances.
