    UPDATE 15/3/22
    We have now got 47 oz of silver donated.
    With the cash transfers of £25/oz I am going to be buying some silver from the secondary market and this will actually yield a little more than 1 oz per £25 so our total is now complete.
    A massive thank you to everyone who has donated. 
    We will now be working on getting the raffle thread opened and look to the next stages of the project.
    Thank you so much all!

    SilverHoarder reacted to BackyardBullion in 100g The Silver Forum Bars (2021) - Official Release Thread!   
    Hello everyone. @ChrisSIlver and I are very happy to announce the official reveal and general release of the 2021 100g Silver Forum Bars!
    There are a lot of different aspects to tell you about so I have split this post up into various sections, hopefully this will cover most of your questions but if there is something I have not covered then please feel free to get in touch or comment on this thread. 

    What are The Silver Forum Bars all about?
    The Silver Forum Bars (in all their sizes) have been created as a way to draw the silver forum community together but also as a fundraising and brand awareness raising exercise. Some of the proceeds from the sales of these bars go directly to The Silver Forum and help keep the forum running in the way we have become accustomed to. Silver Premium, Gold Premium, Platinum and Platinum Plus memberships go a long way to helping the running of the forum and to help keep the membership prices as low as practical, The Silver Forum Bars we make help a lot with this too.
    Any support you can give is greatly appreciated.
    In addition, these bars are about raising brand awareness for The Silver Forum and to encourage new people to join and to make standard members think about supporting the forum by upgrading their membership or simply supporting the forum on a one off basis. 
    Hand Poured Silver Partnership
    Hand poured silver has evolved so much in the last 5 years and it is evident that Hallmarked Poured silver is becoming ever more popular.
    These bars are all hand poured, stamped and finished by myself meaning each and every bar is unique in some way. The weights will vary bar to bar (although none less than 100g) and the cooling patterns of the silver will also be unique and different for each one. Even the stamping (again done by hand) is different bar to bar.
    The allure of hand poured silver is growing stronger month by month and these bars are a brilliant way to start collecting hand poured silver and at the same time supporting the forum and my own business too!
    Hallmarking
    As with all of my Hand Poured Silver products these bars are Assay Tested and Hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office. 
    These bars are hallmarked with a 2mm sized mark - it is a larger and more expensive mark than normal but it really shows off the beauty of the Edinburgh Assay Office's work. 
    Hallmarking is a very good addition to any poured silver. It is your guarantee that these bars are indeed 999 fine silver and made by me in 2021.
    If anyone wants to find out more about hallmarking please feel free to get in touch!

    Schedule, production and delivery
    The bars are all made and hallmarked. 
    We aim to dispatch the first batch on Monday 16th August
    After this date bars will be dispatched to order and any new customers will have their bars dispatched in early September. 
    Mintage Figures
    The mintage for 2021 has increased to accommodate all the new members on the forum and allow the opportunity for those members to get a bar.
    The mintage for 2021 is 175 Bars
    Mintage figures are as follows for all the releases of 100g bars to date:
    2021: 175 bars
    2020: 150 bars
    2019: 100 bars
    2018: 150 bars
    2017: 150 bars
    These mintage figures are set and will not change.
    Pricing 
    Standard or Non member price - £115.00 per bar
    Silver Premium member price - £110.00 per bar
    Gold & Platinum member price - £105.00 per bar
    Platinum Plus member price - £102.50 per bar
    UK Postage: 
    1 bar: +£3.50 via signed for delivery or +£8 for special delivery 
    2 bars or more: Free postage
    International postage: +£12.50 tracked for or free for 3+ bars

    Forum membership and pricing 
    As you can see there are some very good savings to be had for upgrading your membership - so take a look at the benefits that are available for premium and gold premium members today!
     
     
     
    Guaranteed bars for owners of 2020 editions
    As with all our Silver Forum products we offer first right of refusal to all owners of a previous years serial number. 
    So, the following applies:
    If you own a bar with a serial number between 1 and 150 from 2020 then you will be able to reserve the same serial number for 2021. If you wish to reserve that number you need to do so BEFORE 31st August 2020. Members who do not own bars from 2020 will be able to put their name down on a waiting list for unallocated bars. After 31st August we will know how many bars are still available against how many people are on the waiting list. In the event that there are more members than bars available we will draw a random ballot to allocate bars to people. We will then communicate a fair and open way to decide who gets what bar serial numbers. Not got a 2020 bar? Join the waiting list today!
    To formally join the waiting list all you need to do is comment on this thread or drop me a PM that you wish to have a bar. 
    I hope that all makes sense. In summary, you have until 31st August 2021 to reserve and/or pay for your existing serial numbers if you have a 2020 edition.
    A few notes on pricing of these bars
    These bars are hand poured, hand stamped and polished by me. They take a lot of time and energy and equipment to create. These are premium hand poured silver products, not cheap bullion. They are a way to support the Backyard Bullion business, my brand and most importantly, The Silver Forum. As I said earlier, proceeds from the sale of these bars go towards the upkeep and running costs of this forum. This helps keep membership prices as low as possible for premium and gold premium members and ensures that standard members can still use this forum for free. The price also incorporates the Hallmarking costs, this includes postage of these bars to and from Edinburgh and the application of the hallmark.
    Standard members - The difference in price is as a way for you to support the forum in a one off style payment rather than signing up for membership. But also please feel free to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts available. 
    Payment Information
    To secure the reservation of your bars and serial numbers you will need to pay me before 31st August 2021
    If you are interested then please let me know in this thread or via PM and I will then reply with the payment information.
    Payment will be via Banks Transfer or PayPal. We can accept other forms of payment too, just ask if you would like to find out more. 
    Also, I welcome all feedback and any questions you might have about these bars. 
    Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting The Silver Forum!

    SilverHoarder got a reaction from GavinDevon in The future of silver, VAT and import charges into the UK now a Deal has been done!?   
    You don't pay the seller VAT.  VAT is paid to HMRC at the port of import into the UK (from the EU as far as I can tell).  Your second "chapter" doesn't make any sense.  Anyway a bit of a moot point.  I tried to order from the European Mint today and low and behold,... there is no shipping option for the UK.  You have to arrange your own pickup at an additional cost of 15 Euros to the European Mint.  Might be because DHL etc have stopped transport to the UK because of COVID2 etc but will need to wait and see.
  21. Thanks

    Only orders under £135 would trigger the European dealer charging VAT on the sale.
  22. Thanks

    If you try another German dealer maybe you will get one that will send to the UK.
    This is a link to a comparison site of lots of German dealers.  You can search for the coin you want and it will give you a list of dealers offering it and their prices.  It's a pretty good site.
    https://www.gold.de/kaufen/silbermuenzen/the-queens-beast-silber/
    They way it looks now is that a European dealer should be charging you the 20% VAT at the point of sale (supply side) on behalf or HMRC (and then sending it to HMRC) which is probably why the European mint isn't doing it yet until they've sorted out the details.  My slightly flippant point was only that potentially if you can prove that all coins are numismatic then you could fill in a claim with HMRC to only pay 5% by reclaiming the rest back from HMRC.

    @BackyardBullion  Just thinking out loud for the poeple like yourself that would befefit from less VAt on silver for your business.  For us stackers it means if we want cheap silver we start stacking 10oz'ers which isn't ideal
