Hello, thank you for the replies everyone, I appreciate your time and getting back to me. In work at the moment but once I get a chance I'll reply properly. Thanks everyone 🍻

Hi mate, I've already sold a lot of items that I didn't want to get rid of 😂 I don't think pawns shops would really do a decent price?

Hi all, I recently left the armed forces, and leaving and starting my new career was meant to be a smooth transition. It hasn't been due to the start date on my new job being pushed back until August - September time. As a result, I'm liquidating as much as I can to free up some cash. It's why I started in the first place. Gutted to see it all go, but needs must. I have a full collection of the silver forum bars made by Mr B himself, the 1oz and 100g bars going back go 2017. Could anyone help with pricing this lot? I don't really want to part with these, I worked really hard to get them all together. The 100g 2017 bar in particular took a bit of time, but had a bit of help in the end and a stroke of luck. Ideally, I would sell as a complete set (the logo bars aren't as big a deal, but the forum ones are) and only split if I'm up the proverbial creek. The 2017 bar had no certificate or pouch when I bought it, and three of the 1oz bars came as a oner so two don't have a pouch either.

A 2017 100g bar on the way, and just waiting for that 2022 100g bar. Very happy with these keep up the good work!

Harrington and Byrne are selling them at £900 each.😂

Count me in mate

There's a guy called Michael Van Aarde who makes custom 3d printed display cases which are pretty cool

I have the 2014 set in my wishlist, if someone wants to give me a call offering it cheap that would be great😂

The Eagle (or lion and unicorn in this case) has finally landed.

Chards had the foresight to put their QC sticker somewhere a bit more discreet too😂

I was today years old when I found this out. Do you mean it fits on to the lid?

It would be great of this causes an actual change in the QC process at the mint. It is a shame because it's the one area they fall foul on, but is probably the most important aspect of what they do due to the products they are selling. Good effort there B 👏

Not posting pictures yet as I don't really have the time or lighting but I can say one thing, I'm very happy that I went with Chards and not the mint. Very high quality. Thank you @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer for the great customer service.

Well it's here...with a complimentary gift 😂

In the pudding, but not the coin apparently 😂

I'm hoping that the tracking just hasn't been updated and it isn't just sat in the DO.

So Chards did their bit days ago, and now apparently it's the royal mail letting me down. It was supposed to be delivered today. Anyone got any advice on what to do with this? @LawrenceChard you should complain and get your postage costs back 😎

This picture is eye watering

If we all wait until Christmas day to open them im turning off notifications for 'today I received' 😂

Oh, bloody hell, I've been caught with my pants down, I hadn't even confirmed what my prize would be.😂 I can understand it starting early just didn't expect it. @bestg77 I'll be in touch

Happy to swap a good 3 coin set for a duff 5 coin set 👀😂 Jokes aside though, as mentioned above, at this sort of retail price you should be able to expect them not to have visible dints and marks. It's like a car dealership handing you the keys to a brand new car with dents in the bodywork.

Surely with so many issues in the sets, which are limited (to the point where people are potentially getting duff sets back as replacements) surely the mint need to consider redoing them from scratch?

They are still held over a barrel by the consumer rights act, but they would be within their rights to fully refund if they can't replace, and then you're in a bad spot

I would imagine if you make it clear in an email what it is you actually do and how many eyes will be on this, they will be all too willing to help

Well its the Royal Mint so I think there are probably a few already on the market😂
