A bit of light hearted banter.  A shame we can't have a little joke now and again without someone getting offended.

Based on the earlier comment about what we’ll be telling our wives (sorry can’t find the original comment now), I honestly could do with a thread dedicated to believable excuses 😂
I enjoy existing in the land of the living, but I’m walking on a thin line when I just drop a few hundred on a coin 😂

I just got off the phone with the RM because I've had problems today with duplicate payments going through.  I asked if I will get an email confirmation as it appears to have been sorted and was told they are having problems now sending out Email confirmations and I will probably get an email when it's dispatched.... Nothing ever goes smoothly on a release day.
Regards.

Woman logic,
Buying something that in all likelihood be worth double or more its price in less than five years = BAD   Buy an umpteeth pair of shoes, worn once, that will reside in the wardrobe until donated to a charity = PERFECTLY OK   

Just as a quick update to everyone. 
Just spoke to my Account Manager and she advised that if a customer has got an email order confirmation then you have NOTHING to worry about for your order. 
If you have placed an order and you have not got the email confirmation then you should get in touch with customer services to see whats happening. They have kept a very limited number of items back to accommodate such issues. 
This also means that there might be the odd coin set that comes back up for sale in the next 24 hours as full orders are confirmed and allocated. 

I've got a feeling there's a good few blokes today coming up with some spectacular BS to tell their wives why they have spent so much money today!   
I only pressed it once love and it must have gone through 4 times!!!!

both if you can afford it, even if you cant afford it - pop it on the credit card and swap it over to a 0% deal and pay off over a year 
Thank me for it in 5 years time  

For many people 7k isn’t a lot of money.
The buyer obviously isn’t some casual collector, but discerning and most likely quite well off.

You know what…fair play. It makes my blood boil a bit, but someone bought it. Must be nice to be in a place where £2k above the RM price is worth it.

Having read all 5 million pages of this thread.... I can confirm that nobody knows yet  

Considering I didn't get what I  wanted (3 coin set) then it's going to be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 

Who's gonna be the first to sell on the forum 😁

Might be cheap in years to come 

Time to queue CoinConnection “To The Mooooon” prices 😂

Managed to get a full. Not sure if this is just a hype, and don’t really have the money, but hey, worst case I’ll be reselling to pay for my sins 😂

Surprised the full is still available. Guessing a lot were put off by the price VS mintage.

The Chards website just wasn’t working for me, so I thought they’d sold out. Ended up getting from the RM.
Kind if regretting it, but who knows, it might be a good one.

You can keep the coin.... I’m after a set of those finger condoms!!! 

My first pickup from the Royal Mint historic department. 1879 Sydney minted Shield.

...in a nutshell, very pleasant.
I thought I’d give my experience in case anyone else is wondering what the process is.
I recently received a marketing email from the Royal Mint Historics (RMH) attempting to sell a ‘limited stock’ sovereign minted in India. However I wasn’t that interested as it was a lot cheaper elsewhere.
I was in the market for a shield back so I thought I’d get in touch. I spoke with a Nicky Harris from the RMH who was quite helpful in offering me a couple of options. I went for the coin below as it was a decent price and piece of mind that it’s coming from the mint.
It was super easy to do, they sent over a concent form for the payment options, either a 0% or pay in full. Start to finish it all took less than two weeks from order to delivery.
The only downside I found was that I wasn’t able to be provided pictures beforehand as the coins are sourced to order, but some information was provided around the expected quality.
Overall i’m happy knowing I’ve got a nice coin from a good source and while I don’t see myself buying a lot from the RMH I’d happily use them again.
Below is the coin how it’s presented in a flip.
