Auragentum states on its website that there will be 2 bullion Bond issues per year. That gives some hope the series is not abandoned, although it's not "official" info...

And know the adds are updated with a date for when the presalse starts, Thursday the coming week.
"Vorverkauf ab 08.02.2024!"

It depends on what is "soon", Koala due to be released in mid-March is also being on that page for couple of months already

Given that Auragentum.de have put up offers (but without price and release date) on their website it feels likely that coins from the Royal Mint will be released soon.

Hello dear collector friends, of course I didn't receive anything today on Sunday, but I would still like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year 2024. I feel very comfortable in this forum, which is mainly due to you.  See you soon and best regards from Maxe.

2024 UK Morgan le Fay Myths and Legends 1oz Gold Coin now available for pre order.
Below link is just an example but I'm sure other dealers will be providing pre-order information as well.

Very good news!
 
 
 

The only shop that I have used that I can think of that are using Paypal is german Silbertresor.de but then with extra fees. Believe they ship to all EU countries. 
https://goldsilver.be/en/content/5-pysec seems to be accepting Paypal also but then with an extra fee. Haven´t used them personally but you can find alot of both positive and negative reviews on this forum. But atleast on silver they seem to have good prices. 
 

Have you seen my message about auragentum on this page?

I wonder if it would be worth creating a separate deals thread for European deals now?
I just feel that most of the European deals are no longer of interest to people in the UK since brexit/VAT.

Thanks for the update. Doesnt sound fun at all. And yes like most indivduals I place smaller orders (300-700 Euros). But from my own experience buying both items that are in stock and items to be delivered to Metalmarket I havent hade any negative experiences.

Can you please inform me in which way they are scammers? Have bought from them several times without any big issues. Had a problem was once that it took some time identify my payment but have hade good experiences with them.
 
And also generally they seem to have a good reputation:

But of course there is some negative reviews to: 
 

According to gold.de (a German price comparing site for precious metals) their is two retailers currently offering 100 oz silver bars. https://www.gold.de/kaufen/silberbarren/weitere/ Perhaps check if any of them ship to Slovakia. Have used GoldSilberShop.de once without any problems but I unsure if they still do offer silver to customers outside of Germany. Also found these two are offering 100 oz silver bars.

https://www.metalmarket.eu/pl/products/sztabka-the-great-engravers-three-graces-100-uncji-srebra-2022-6290.html
Have used both of these sites without any problems several times. Tax/VAT is included in the price and the other only cost added is for shipping (and if paying using VISA/Mastercard a fee for that). Feels much easier and safer buying here atleast for me compared to ordering from Canada. 

Finally acquired a British Trade Dollar for my British Imperial / Colonial collection. They were issued to facilitate British trade in Asia hence the Eastern stylings. Satisfying feeling when you get your hands on a coin you've long desired! This one is a 1910 Bombay mint example. I plan to get more of these though - either one for each of the decades they were minted (1890s-1930s) or one for each monarch they were minted under (Victoria, Edward VII, George V).

The bullion versions of the Merlin coins are launching on Tuesday

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4300419  
For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year, and for the reverse either:
(a) a depiction of Merlin with the inscription “MERLIN · MYTHS AND LEGENDS ·” and the date of the year; or
(b) a depiction of Morgan Le Fay with the inscription “MORGAN LE FAY · MYTHS AND LEGENDS ·” and the date of the year.
The coin shall have a grained edge.’

Adding a few more worth checking out. Perhaps not in exactly the same situation as someone from Ireland but far from all European (aka German) resellers sell to all other EU-countries and that includes gold. The following sites have I ordered from atleast once (not necessarily gold) without any major problems or were they had a good customer service which we´re able to help me. The sites below that I haven´t find through gold.de I have mainly found on this forum and similar forums. When checking they all seem to deliver to Ireland. But be aware of the shipping costs, some sites have a very high shipping cost.

Haven´t bought anything from the (yet) but the Austrian Mint which produces mainly the Philharmoniker could also be worth mentioning I feel. The Austrian equivalent to the Royal Mint in the UK. https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/eng/info-centre/online/delivery-shipments

i haven't used Europabullion - i would have to cost it out. 

The shipping showed up as 26€ earlier on Goldsilver.be today which is less than i had remembered, now i check again it is 45€
1 tube of Bull Bear Tokelau 1 oz silver coin
Goldsilver.be 20 x 26,62€ = 532,40€
Shipping 45€
Total 577,40€
Europabullion 20 = 521,40€
Shipping 36€
Insurance @1,25% = 6,52€
Total 563,92€
So in this example Europabullion is cheaper.
You could go through examples - it might be for some coin orders Goldsilver.be is cheaper - i expect for the big orders of several thousand euros. There may be a coin in that Goldsilver.be doesn't have but on the whole i think the coins are cheaper at Goldsilver.be
i have used Goldsilver.be lots of times and never had a problem. The coins arrive superbly packaged - the plastic storage boxes i am using to this day. The arrival to me is very quick - it can be with me in a couple of days following dispatch. The last dispatch was a lot of orders all together which saved on shipping. 
 

You could besides that site find through Gold.de, EuropeanMint and Goldsilver.be also add Europabullion. Good prices but perhaps a bite expensive shipping (36 Euro) and we´re insurance also is added to the prize. To the person who started the thread, they do ship to Ireland:

Hello everyone, 
A few weeks ago I visited the Japan Mint museum in Osaka. Below are a few photos of some of the collections highlights:-
- Tensho Hishi Oban: these are the two first photos (back and front) and it is the only surviving large oval gold coin produced by the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. What a beauty! 
- the next two photos are the front and back of a stunning 20 Yen gold coin which were the first Japanese coins minted by the Meiji government in 1870 using modern minting methods, before that coins were typically cast. 
The pictures after this are just some of what I thought were the most beautiful/interesting coins on display. 
Lastly I have I have included a photo of the gold covered Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) Buddhist temple in Kyoto built in the 15th century originally as a villa for the third Ashikaga shogun Yoshimitsu.
 

No problem  If you haven´t been able to find anything in the UK yet, hopefully atleast on of the above dealers will sell to UK Customers (given its only gold and not silver etc).

Not sure if any of these sites deliver to the UK but found the double sov on three different sites:

Hade the same problem here. Ordered and payed for a couple of tubes of regular bullion coins in the last few days before 30th of June. Didnt here anything from them so when the fourth weekend since I placed my order had started I emailed them regarding this. And just a couple of hours later my order was sent out to me with UPS Express. Hope this info is to some use for you
