5oz gold gothic delivered! Woo

Mine has just arrived and thankfully, everything looks good.

So the 1/4oz Seymour that appeared on Royal Mint recently was actually in stock. So now I have the 10 coin order after missing it initially.

All good and no issues that I could see 😊
Do I need to get the beers now @GoldDiggerDave ? 🤣

My 2021 gothic crown has arrived 😃

Looking good so far!

If everyone does, it protects everyone else. I'm not a millionaire, I'm not minted, I'm not without, I'm not needing any extra cash any time soon, I'm happy to enjoy the journey with these. I'm not happy I'll have a £5k bill again in march but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!
Nationwide have said online I'm pre approved for £12k loan so will probably bundle the two over 5years at 4.1% hopefully a wee bit upside in them

It's the £7.50 postage that makes me giggle most.

I’ve had some more hopeful news following my email to Anne Jessopp about the loose capsules following advice from @BackyardBullion and @Oldun. Some of you might remember that I was one of the unlucky few or majority possibly that received their sovereign loose in the box. Oddly the capsule was practically closed.
I have to say, up to now, I’ve been impressed with the Royal Mint customer service so no problems with that.
They have now offered and promised to replace my sovereign. I am happy about this and having spoken with them on the phone today, they called me which I was surprised about, they have assured me I’ll get a replacement.
I’ve learned that they are taking measures to send replacements and original orders of those who haven’t got theirs with foam inserts. Not ideal I suppose but and this is the but, they’ve acknowledged the fault with the capsules and they are rectifying it. Admitting there’s a problem can’t have been easy for them. So they’re rectifying it with foam inserts which might be a little bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, perhaps, but they’re doing something about it. Which is good.
So and I’m presuming here, those who are still waiting for their original orders or replacements, you’re waiting because they’re waiting for the foam to modify the packaging. That’s what I was told by RM.
Lastly I asked the question many of us have been wondering, will I get someone else’s return? No we won’t, after they inspect our returns and agree that there are defects, on an individual basis I think, they are reminted. We might possibly get the same certificate number but not the same coin or anyone else’s return.
I’d say my experience of RM customer service has been a positive one, I’m still nervous to return mine but I have faith that I’ll get a newly minted replacement.
I was told it might be mid January before a replacement arrives but it’s a month ish away and I’d rather wait to have a sovereign as it should have been originally.
I thought this might help others who are waiting for replacements.

YESSSS  !!
Got my Gold Plain Edge confirmation    pffff !
The journey goes on @Paul 
 

ive managed to get the 2 coin subscription for the 2oz silver proof  sadly didnt get the 5oz version  but very happy with that ,i might try for the una and the lion and three graces for the whole set as i dont have them as yet 

Hello! 
I am very new to the silver game but excited to embark on the trail of all things shiny!
Came across Silver Forum on Backyard Bullion's Youtube channel.

Hi there
A new member, have a small collection of Britannia, Valiants and small bars. Already like reading the various comments on the different subjects - learn something new every day!

Well my good luck of today hasn't continued enjoying a pint at the end of launch day and picking names hasn't worked for me my run of good luck ended by the look of it lol 

Glad to have got something (hope I just didn’t  jinx it 😬).

Got in early morning and had a very low number. I grabbed one of each 2oz and 5oz silver and a 2oz gold! 
i hope my order will not be cancelled.🤞
i got extremely lucky. There is no way i could ever afford the gold in secondary market so i am over the moon!  
Hopefully they will all grade well and stay forever in my collection 🥳
Ps: on the three graces i barely got a 2oz silver, so people who did not do so well, dont get discouraged.  Try again next time and you might get better luck 👍

Honestly, I count myself lucky. Booted up the RM website at 8:59, got placed in the queue in the 500's and was able to get the 2oz Silver with the continuation for the March release also.
I'm just hoping there's no issues with quality as some people experianced with the 2022 Sovereign. I had a smooth experiance overall with that release (thankfully), had my set and full sov within 3 days.
So who knows when people will start receiving the first batches. 

How's everybody feeling after the day has passed now?
Hopefully some coins will start coming out soon, it did say early December dispatch for the 2 oz silver and 2 oz gold.
I'm super excited to see the gold, whilst I don't have one for myself a very close friend of mine got the gold so will be able to actually see it and film with it when he gets it!
I'm just hope we don't see any major capsule issues like with the sovereign. The last thing anyone wants is a duff/damaged Gothic Crown!

Huge thanks to @Agaumac for the brilliant Christmas prize draw gift! Off to Tesco now for some petrol 🤪🤣

My Xmas gift from @AndrewSL76, love these little barter tokens, totally different and made by @BackyardBullion. If anyone is worried about a forthcoming zombie apocalypse and would like to exchange for a new Gothic Crown next week then please get in touch otherwise they will remain as a prized part of my collection 😀😀😀
