Great set mucker.... It'll be interesting to see where you go with the next 9. @Dakarasis going for 20 in total so he may have some ideas for you

Should be doable.

Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, UAE, Ukraine, South Africa, France, Canada all have 1/10th off top of head.

Thank you

Always free to talk photography ☺️

You're photos are suberb Dave....Good subject matter as well 

I've only a 1968 at some stage I hope to get a run together. I think your price is fair OP. 

Out of interest if anyone near British Museum the Mary Gillick exhibition is well worth a look. First room on right as you go in main entrance.

Books (as recommended) arrived today, what a wealth of information!  thank you Chards, next problem needing advice is how do I convince my wife that the cash in the bank is better invested in gold? must be an age old problem?

cheers.

So far I have failed, my latest attempt is I've got her a sovereign from year of birth that I'm giving her at Christmas with a purchase price paid £335 and what she could get for it at Christmas just praying there's a mark up. 

Interesting found a sovereign for £371 I'd guess they will do quite well from it , some people will default to RM 

The foolishness is strong in this one. 

Welcome

12 handling, VAT and other

i got handling and VAT. About to go to HMRC to get it back. Parcelforce hold until paid, if you don’t pay it gets sent back. It’s up to you then to claim back from HMRC

Yes going to have to bite the bullet and try to claim back

£85 to deliver it.... Wtf? Was delivery not added on point of sale? 

That's £12 handling fee added by Parcelforce, £43 quid VAT (not applicable but they put it on anyway) and £30 Import tax also added but not applicable, spoken to others some have had no charges added , some have had just import tax I seem to be only one that's been hit with all 3. And yes carriage paid at purchase. Not happy ATM.

Just arrived. May have accidentally started a 1/10th collection! 🤔

Love it...I'm still arguing with Parcelforce and the £85 quid they want to deliver it

Welcome 

Welcome.

Some of my stack is pure investment for the future and some is hobby collecting with the bonus that the cost of the hobby can (hopefully) be retrieved at a future date.

Like the idea of bullion from every country visited.

@Mtaybar back in stock good price as well.

It's not looking great, I will keep buying PMs bit silver will now be just stuff I like at sensible premium's, saw a bar I really liked earlier but premium was way over what I'm prepared to pay at the moment where as a couple of months ago it wouldn't have bothered me. But also will be building up the cash at home stash and cutting back on lunches and breakfast out....which is a shame as worked hard to be able to finally do that as and when we want. 

Jacked in self employment after 18 years and winding business up, shame love what I do but it relies on people having problems that they don't want to sort themselves.

I started to find them boring as in the end there is only so much you can say, and eventually all they keep repeating is the same mantra, buy buy buy, I do watch the odd video, mostly when it comes down to the history of coins and especially with circulation coins, any other video I gladly give it a miss.

It does pain me to have some of them complaining about premiums whilst unboxing more silver than I could afford in 2 years.

FYI Pawn stars on YouTube has a few great shorts of coins
