I think asking on forums is a perfectly valid way of doing research, it is why it’s called a forum 
If someone else has already got the information the OP wants, or even just an opinion like mine, sharing it not only saves the OP time but anyone else who has a SOTD at grading and sees the post.  I also think active discussions like this encourage traffic to the site from google searches and potentially bring in new members.  If that search shows members being dismissive it will have the opposite effect.

I do agree as well. Also, in my previous comment, I haven't used the word "real", only "genuine".
Semantically, Lawrence and you are both 100% on the right side, absolutely nothing to argue about.
But please, be gentle with people who are asking questions from another side of this planet!

Respect your opinion. My initial query was because it’s not my desire to leave my metals to my children when I die, but move it on to them at an earlier point in their lives where it will do some good and help them out. My daughter is training to be a nurse. A wonderful profession and she will no doubt help many more hundreds/thousands of people than I ever will, but it’ll also not likely make it easy to move on to the property ladder any time soon either. If I can help with that then you can be damn sure I will. If I’m in a fortunate position to earn well enough and all that serves is to make me richer, what’s the point?
If you see this as buying affection or a guilt free conscience then that’s on you

I have spent all my life working hard and investing in my daughters's education. Now I have the best return possible.
I was not fortunate enough to have rich parents, but I was fortunate and blessed to have them very ethical and vertical. 
It is not only about money. If I would, I could have much more.
From what I have I can giveaway to others who are in needs and my soul is feeling better and I know I am doing something right.
I have done everything this society said it is good to do: marriage, children, I have build with my hands a house, I have founded a library in a village, I have planted a forest and an orchard, I have build two fontains to give clear water for people who were walking half of mile with buckets for drinking water. This is the real investment.
If I die tomorrow, I will die with my soul easily, without being ashamed of anything.
 

I know it's different for private one off sellers and this is by no means a dig or meant to offend @jackflash123 but really the sender should be liable for the full cost of a lost item. A lot of people hide behind the "buyer chooses postage and risk" but buyers should fight back and really stand their ground (in my opinion).
I personally guarantee every package I send. If it doesn't arrive and no compensation is paid, I will never leave a buyer out of pocket, that's just me.
As I said, no offence meant, just sharing m 2¢

Very happy! Thank you silver forum! 😊

Since most of us are always wondering what the next Royal Mint release is going to be, I spent some time scouring the Gazette and came up with this list.
It’s not the best and may not be comprehensive, but I will fill in the dates as and when we get information from any of our sources (either share here or PM me if you have inside info but don’t wish to be named; I won’t out you!)
If any of the mods wish to update with release dates, that’s fine too.
I have tried to exclude the ones that have already been released - but as I don’t follow some of the less popular ones (like Winnie the Pooh) I may have listed some of these.  If so, let me know and I will update the post to delete them.

Actually under UK distance selling laws it is the seller's responsibility to get the package to the buyer. 
The peer to peer PM community is at risk of becoming complacent on the issue and assume that it is a universal understanding that the buyer assumes responsibility by choosing whatever service they are comfortable with. In practice it rarely happens that the buyer explicitly states they are taking the risk. 
Just because it is a common approach in this community to take the unorthodox approach of buyer's risk, not all buyer's and sellers agree with it, and the specific terms are not often stated, so the risk of making assumptions during a transaction is that it anything goes wrong, resolving it will become fraught. 
Sellers need to be aware that if they choose to send an item uninsured which doesn't arrive or is damaged, they will legally be required to reimburse the buyer unless prior written agreement was made to the contrary. I doubt it would be sufficient simply to pop a lazy disclaimer in the listing saying "buyer's choice of post". The buyer would specifically have to say that they agree that there will be no compensation if the package were to go missing. Any sensible buyer would also be sensible to accept those terms only on condition that the seller provides proof of posting in the form of a photo of the receipt which shows the weight of the parcel, the address sent to, the tracking number and the date. 
The written contract between the buyer and seller then becomes quite protracted and this becomes impractical to do each time for a £30 package. 
I have personally got round this problem with three approaches.
The first is due diligence. If a seller has a good reputation and I've dealt with them before I will trust they will provide me with their typical service. Without trust and care this whole business quickly crumbles. If an item is of high value and I want it sent 1st signed for I will make sure terms are clear. 
The second is a mathematical understanding that paying for special delivery is only worth for sending high value items. If one in 500 packages goes missing by 1st signed for (a conservative estimate based on my data going back two years), then by saving £4 per package in postage 500 times you are in theory saving against the loss of a £2000 item going missing. Obviously that's quite extreme an example and I would never entrust an item of that value to SF as that loss would be emotionally hard to take and that risk is not factored in mathematically. Each person can instead consider their own attitude to loss and risk and think how much would I be comfortable to lose? Under that value, go 1st signed for. Over, go SD.
The third is through a business insurance which I have purchased, which covers all items I send up to £5k as long as I send at least signed for/tracked. I hope never to have to use it but it means i have that back up and can confidently post knowing i can reimburse the buyer and claim on insurance if tracking shows the item wasn't delivered after a certain time (i now set this as a month as one package i sent arrived a month after!) It is worth it for the number of items I post and I expect many people selling any moderate volume of bullion would be well advised to take out such insurance for peace of mind and the postage savings made which will offset the cost within a couple of months. The insurance also covers the bullion itself when in storage or on your person when out. 
I thought I would add some detail to the topic as it is a really important issue so that buyers and sellers can adequately inform and protect themselves. There are misunderstandings in the community and this can and does lead to big problems, losses and fall outs which nobody wants. 

Could you give it a rest please Lawrence? You dropped an apostrophe here. Almost all your posts have a typo or a grammatical error. It's getting tiresome imvho to have you picking up on others for similar errors.
