MrB

Hi there, As a gift idea I am looking for an silver octopus coin (for example 2021 1 oz Barbados Caribbean Octopus .999 Silver BU Coin). UK source only please, I hate having to deal with customs. So, let me know here or in dm if you have something. Let me have a picture and a price and we'll go from there. Thanks in advance.

I've sent stuff back for that kind of thing. For the price you pay you want better than that. Looks like you are missing another piece on the O at the bottom of the picture too.

2oz arrived today. Just makes me wish I had ordered the 5. It's nice but my enthusiasm has waned since I actually bought it. On the bright side it's flawless, so well done RM for that.

Mine had some nice stuff, but the only gold was edible.

I actually paused on this once I got in this morning. Left in my basket a while then thought, why not. Probably very lucky if I get this really. 'Subject to availability'. Makes me wonder if I will actually get it still.

I am hoping to get one of these in my Chard's mystery box.

Watch out for fake Chard unopened boxes on ebay!!

Ill take one of these please. Not bad to look at.

Not a huge fan of the mirrored look on these. Actually looking forwards to the bullion version.

From past experience, it's hard enough having to hope that RM get it right with a single coin. But ten at the same time? That thought made me not bother ordering this set. Well, really it shouldn't be that hard. Should it?

I splashed out on some Powercoin items. Love them to bits. Will probably be buried with them. They don't go towards the silver stack, they are just too nice. Somehow I have managed to get a half decent sized stack just buying things I like and look pretty. But worth collecting? For artistic enjoyment certainly. For anything else... I think you need to be tremendously lucky in buying the right coin at the right time.

Not a massive fan of the coin really. And I think the mintage is a bit high, so unless there are a lot of Who fans out there that collect coins, this might be around a while.

Doesn't seem to be much excitement here. Personally, I am over the Moon!

The sponsors are pretty good to buy from (BYB, etc), and I'll just echo the sentiment that this place is a pretty trustworthy resource to find and buy/sell your silver, gold, or other precious metals/items. Also, since people are talking about QBs, there are some QB sets that have been popping up lately that have been priced very competitively, fyi.

I just put together my own spreadsheet. I haven't even been collecting that long, but I know that the longer I leave it the harder it will be to track down all the info. Moving to a new country is not an impossibility in the nearish future, so having a well documented record of everything will hopefully save me all kinds of headaches. Also thinking of having a digital signature (PGP, or something) for each record so that I can 'prove' that this isn't just stuff I made up for the purposes of defrauding the taxman in whatever country it ends up.
