Yes. My bars order is still in progress as well. Although I ordered mine late in the evening. So if they're being packed & dispatched in time order that might explain it.

Ah! Earlier in the thread I mentioned my RMBF bullion order wasn't showing in the order list. Didn't realise there were separate lists. Just checked and it is indeed showing on there. Should be dispatched today. (Bars order still showing as 'in progress')

Me too. I didn't ask for one so would assume they're sending them to all customers who have already received the bars.

Having a weird experience with my Friday RM purchases. Initially bought a couple of bullion items with small discount before seeing this thread. Later in the evening I went back to order a couple of 1g bars and the free 50p (lol)... Immediately received a confirmation email from the bars order. And it also shows in TCB and on the orders page on RM. However, the earlier bullion order doesn't seem visible anywhere. No email, doesn't show on TCB, doesn't show on RM orders page. Money has been taken from my bank account though. Any idea what's happened there? As I say, it's the correctly discounted order that's missing, not the questionable discount on the bars order. 🤔

My phone camera doesn't do it justice unfortunately.

Received mine from Tavex today. Great design for both bar and assay card. 🙂 No sleeve though... Be interested to know if anyone else's comes in a sleeve.

6% off 2023 1/10 Gold Koala at BBP. https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-coins/1-ounce-australian-nugget/2023-tenth-ounce-gold-australian-koala/

That's the sort of daft item I like tbh... 😄 Which courier do Tavex use? Is there still a TSF discount code?

£187 at Atkinsons. Don't think I've seen it cheaper so far.

Hi Had planned to round off my year of collecting 1/4oz's with a basic Brit in November. Obviously wasn't expecting the spot price increase. Has anyone got one they could let go for £420 or less? No rush but must be this year and must be in 'collectable' condition. No problem if not, will just keep checking Atkinsons in the hope that theirs drop below that again! 🧐 Please PM me if you can help. Thanks

Shirley Bassey proof was the only one in 2023. No bullion as far as I'm aware. I do have Elton, Bowie, Queen & The Who in bullion. Plus Elton & Bowie coloured proof.

Opened this thread fully expecting to see a 10oz with Shakespeare's portrait... Disappointed to see it was just a typo. 😄

I'd be very surprised if you get your money back from them now. I never received any more contact from them. They prevented any comments being added to their latest Facebook post but if you check 'all comments' on the one below that you can see just how many customers they've been doing this to over the last couple of years...and that's only the ones that are vocal on social media, the real number will be much higher. I'm struggling to believe that this is a 'technical issue' any more. I did get my money back eventually through my bank. It wasn't easy due to the length of time TCM had strung me along (which I now believe is part of their scam). The best suggestion I can offer you and anyone else reading this is to start a refund request through your bank and never buy anything else from TCM. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this has gone way too far now.

And 1/20ths! 😆 I've got a 1/8th Sov as well, that's even smaller! 😅 I find 1/4oz or full Sov's to be a nice size & weight personally. Guess it depends what each person is used to though.

How is the holographic design produced? Is it likely to get damaged over time? They do look interesting but personally not something I'd pay extra for.

1oz proof is 7100. 2oz proof is 750.

Not at all! 😅 People spend huge amounts of money on depreciating cars or a week in another country. As long as you've enjoyed the experience, it's not a waste! 😁

If you're after 1/4oz Brit's, RM directly have been cheapest for those for a while. They don't offer 1/4oz bars for a comparison though.

Bullion completers are unlimited. Proof versions are limited. They were available in multiple sizes as well.

That's the going rate for RM proof 1/4's... I've bought a few pre-owned near bullion value just a year or two after release. They aren't generally good investments but as long as the original owner got some enjoyment out of it that's what matters. 🙂

Thanks for the quick response! Great price but I think that's a bit too noticeable for my collection so will leave this one.

I'm interested in the Rooster. Do you have a clearer picture showing the scratch?

I also have one of these, from a different seller, and there is a small mark on the bottom edge due to the manufacturing process. Doesn't bother me at all...and I'm pretty fussy! 😄

1oz silver now available at silvertrader. Looks like the cheapest option for anyone that doesn't want the carded version. (Remember 2% off with bankpayment code as well) 2023 Royal Celebration Royal Mint 1oz Silver Bullion Bar (silvertrader.uk)

Think I prefer that background to the waves. Shame it doesn't seem to be used on the larger Brit's as well.
