Is purchasing a set really collecting or just making a purchase? Im not collector minded but I thought the whole point of collecting was the challenge 🤷‍♂️

What is your complaint? That you bought on the secondary market so deserve the second coin in the series?

The RM is in danger of doing what the Canadian Mint did years ago and flood the market with too many series. I would advise them to take a break after the Spring to let things cool down. They also need to get some proper tech done on their website.
 
As for the Gothic, I think they will have learned a lot from the mistake of having a tiny button to click for continuity. But, having said that, they have broken the seal on that type of release now and customers will be aware of what it means going forward……or they could just do what was done with the Alderney Gothic coins and sell as a two coin set, job done.

So there’s 250 of both 2 Oz silvers set aside. I bet there will be a 2-coin set. 

I might be able to help 😚

That sounds so ominous but exciting at the Same time.

The next Music legends coin is coming out. Gary Glitter 2oz silver and 1 oz gold. Only available to those who bought the Rolf Harris coin last year

The only thing I know for certain is I've currently got 1.5 sets 🥴

The crown web pages are now online!

Well they obviously know about the forum and have done us up like a kipper!
Can't lie .....I'm proud as punch of RM right now.....its a great joke at our expense and wish I had of thought of it.
Away now to buy all their frosty snow man 50ps and plan to return them next week.

Just spoke to the mint. Chap said it was a closed sale to those who bought the first coin. It won't even go on the website. The guy sounded exhausted. 
 
In other news. My second SOTD sovereign has been cancelled! Yay

I think CML stands for CM Ltd 🤡
“fob metal” which would make sense.

£329 with free postage and without having to buy more than one is a pretty unbeatable deal at the moment, it seems to me. 

So it could have been £1 ? 😉

They hold your bar hostage until you pay the ransom.

It will end up costing about £755 delivered you can buy kilos on here 640-670

Agreed, it is now prohibitive to purchase silver from the EU

Although it is not ideal the purpose of bullion is to facilitate the ownership of precious metals in recognisable forms and weights . I doubt there are any bullion dealers who would even give that small mark a second glance if buying back. As for selling on privately, anyone seen 999 fine silver bullion selling for spot because of a small mark or any mark? 
Collectors shouldn't be buying bullion particularly if they expect perfection every time. Leave the bullion for the stackers and stop pushing up premiums with unrealistic expectations.

Anything more than spot? Even if you take delivery of a comex contract you're going to pay spot plus 20% plus delivery fee lol

spot + production + sensible profit margin + delivery + VAT
A lot of bullion coins are sold in monster boxes to buyers who won't bother to open the box let alone the tubes let alone take a loop to each of them, a growing number of people don't even take delivery.

I tend to send them back when they haven't got enough horsemeat in them
