When you get old you’ll appreciate the bigger coins 
easier to see the detail of the designs and find  them
that is of course if you can remember where you put them in the first place

✨✨ Will consider a trade for 2 x 1 oz gold coin and 1 x ¼ oz gold coin - depending on coin condition. ✨✨
The ever popular Royal Mint Queen's Beasts Ten Ounce Complete Set (including Completer Coin) of 11 coins. 

I'm sure you've seen these before so no need in lengthy descriptions. They come in a very sturdy and well built display box from Alun Moran. 
No blemishes and such to my naked eye. But as not to disappoint, they are bullion coins. Anything visible marks are on the capsules, not the coins. 
Conservatively priced and firm at:
✨£3,465 
...plus P&P of your choice (please be aware that Royal Mail has increased rates in October)
 
Thanks much 

Unfortunately you have committed a cardinal sin in the proof coin community 😁you have an unprotected and likely handled coin out of its capsule, big no no. And will likely affect it's value in the eye's of potential buyers.
I will try and answer a few of your questions, payment is usually by bank transfer or PayPal friends and family ( sellers discretion) 
You must list for sale in the trade section and include details of item ( weight, purity etc) plus you need to state an asking price.
As a new member it may be beneficial to say you will accept payment on receipt of goods. Just make sure to read any prospective buyers feedback. This will only be needed a couple of times until you build up a reputation.
Personally I'd look into a silver membership minimum, so you have unlimited private messages and can upload as many pictures as needed. ( even if you only try it out for a month £5.99, will pay for itself in no time.

Also, I have no intention of telling anybody what I intend to bid on. 😁

TSF and @TavexBullion are very excited to announce a limited time promotional offer open to all TSF members! Tavex already provide exceptional value with highly competitive prices in the UK, this offer gives TSF members even more discounts on top, for a limited time!

Tavex is planning on joining the Platinum Offers from Selected Dealers programme, that gives discounts from selected dealers for Platinum and Platinum PLUS Premium members. But before this we have launched an introductory promotional offer at even better discounted rates open to ALL TSF members! (note that the offers that will be available in the Platinum Offers programme may be lower than this introductory offer, and they have not been worked out yet, the volume of orders in this introductory offer may affect how much discount we are able to offer on that) 

For full transparency TSF were offered affiliate links and to earn a commission from referred sales, we have decided to split the commission equally between TSF and members in the form of discounts using these discount codes instead. The % discount below is the % that will be deducted from the item cost at checkout, TSF will also earn the same % commission on these discounted products that are ordered. The split is equal. This will help us to grow the forum further and to help us negotiate more great deals like this for members in the future  


The Tavex 1g Gold Bar

One of the products I would like to highlight in this deal is the Tavex 1g Gold Bar. At the time of writing this bar costs just £55.51 (before discount) which offers exceptional value per gram when compared to other fractional gold items (even much larger ones), these bars are also very affordable and a good introduction to gold, though small they are very easy to resell and are great for those who wish to purchase a very small piece of gold but regularly. From my understanding and knowledge these are the lowest price 1g Gold Bars that you can by from any dealer in the UK, even lower when you add the TSF discount on top! These are IMO a great pick up! Easily divisible when coming to sell.


Introductory offer, 1% discount! Using discount code THESILVERFORUM

The platinum jubilee was the first royal celebration to be commemorated by issuing a 50p piece. A collectors piece with a fabulous design. I have two to offer, both are slabs only.
The first is the platinum proof 50p, only 150 issued, 55 in PF70. The other is the gold proof 50p,  issued with a higher mintage 580, only 35 are graded PF70.
Platinum piece is offered at £1725 posted sd, the Gold proof at £1325 posted. Both together at £3000. 
 

£49 and a raw block of himalayan salt!
 

I despise modern collector commemorative coins. I have long argued that the sheer quantity is overkill and destroys real growth in the collecting fan base, it all becomes a yawnfest and then people who know nothing about coins start trying to flog crappy 50p coins on eBay, and other non-events in a tin and say l@@k r@re and then come all the unique New Penny two pences dated 1971. The mints around the world, official and third party throw out coins where Elizabeth II looks more like Nicola Sturgeon, or William has incredible buckteeth.
So if it does kill them off, you have put forward the first positive argument I've heard for a cashless society. 😁

number 23 for me good luck everyone

This Bloke is absolutely Incredulous. Lost count of the messages back a to. He accused me of being libellous for my comments in a private message to him. He lorded his charity giving and helping people. In the end I gave the example that a genuine 1914 sovereign can be bought without effort for less than £400. His fake 1914 sovereign price was £585 + £10 postage. That's nearly 50% more (£195). Giving 10% of the coin sale price to charity £58.50 means nothing if your scalping some one for £195. Not taking into account the coin is not genuine. He took it down but asked if I was interested in any of his other collection. Polite words fail me.

Hi, everyone, guys, gals and whatever!
 
I'd like to share with you, my friends, my experience after I have upgraded my premium membership from Silver to Platinum Plus.
I have had my Silver membership from beginning (October 2020) and I have been very happy all the time with what this offered to me: instantly access to see on Buy/Sell section, the right to sell what I wanted to with a lot of pictures, the right to see and comment almost everywhere on forum, a limited number of emojis, etc. The price of £5.99/month was very attractive and I was sure that I will never change my membership until two weeks ago, when something happened and changed my mind.
Two weeks ago, it was a kind of flash in my mind, when I have decided to do more for this lovely forum. Why? Because I can, I want to and I love this forum from the deeps of my heart! After I have joined here, I have learned a lot from other members, I have shared my knowledge and I have felt included in a real community. I have gained new friends, I have had fun, I have made good profits with my sales, I have bought in a safe manner a lot of silver and gold items. I can not even imagine one day without opening TSF page. 
The Silver Forum is the safest place for buying and selling precious metals, it is a lovely and friendly community always happy to offer informations and the efforts made by @ChrisSilver and his professional team of moderators should be highly appreciated. My only one tool to show my appreciation is to pay monthly a little more than I was thinking before to help growing this lovely forum. I am not an expert, so I can only guess the monthly expenses for having online fully functional such a forum.
I would like to encourage more members to upgrade their membership to Gold, Platinum or Platinum Plus to keep this forum rolling. The difference per year is not noticeable for individuals who use to spend on a monthly basis @500-£1000 for precious metals, but all together we can support TSF to grow steady and healthy. 
Please, feel free to comment on here your opinion about your premium membership, with pro's and contra's. Will not be a debate, I'd like only to be a place for sharing good experiences on this forum. Any comment added will have a SuperLike or SuperThanks from me (as a Platinum Plus member I have unlimited SuperLikes and SuperThanks to offer) , doesn't matter if I will agree or not with the comment. 
Also, like a giveaway for this forum, I'd like to organise a Tombola for all Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus, regular or business accounts. The participation starting now and will end on 15th of September 2023, 14.00pm, when the winner will be selected using a random generator. I will ask nicely @Charliemouse, a forum member who shown us real competences in statistics to be the person who will extract the winner.
 
The prize will be:
1 x 100g TSF silver bar with certificate and original pouch;
1 x romanian jam jar + 1 x solid silver teaspoon;
1 x bottle of romanian red wine.
All these items offered as prize are donated by myself.
Also, more donations from generous forum members are added:
@theman73 added to the initial prize 1g gold Tavex carded bar, free shipping.
@ryanwinter73 added to the initial prize 1oz silver proof QB White Horse of Hannover with box and certificate, free shipping.
The delivery SD will be absolutely free for winner, paid by myself. If the winner will be from outside UK, the relevant highest grade postage offered by Royal Mail will be free, paid by me, but any custom fee or any applicable import duties or taxes that are due are to be paid for by the winner.
 
The conditions to enrol for this tombola are:
a. to be Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus or any business accounts at 15th of September 2023.
b. to comment minimum once on this post. To enter the ticket number, first person #ticket 1, next entry #ticket 2, etc, etc. One ticket entry per member, but members can post multiple comments, please only enter a ticket once for valid entry. 
 
Important note: The administrator of this site, @ChrisSilver, is aware about this tombola and I have his prior permission to organise this, as per forum's rules and guidelines. Also, the administrator will add a nice extra bonus to the happy winner (I will leave him the pleasure to do the announcement).
 
Cheers, everyone!🤗
Stefan. 

Will get back to you shortly when home  

I do question if RM actually know themselves but I think it will settle down now all the special releases have come out. Two a year is all I have publically seen.
