Was looking forward to @BackyardBullion's YouTube live court case against them to be honest!
Live YouTube Debates are not my thing 🙂

Its all about lining the pockets of the executive team bonuses.
I have been informed that the Royal Mint have suspended their employee profit share bonuns scheme - but the Exec's still get all their bonuses.
Anne Jessop earned £149k in bonuses last year on a £229k salary.
Oh, and don't forget the £84k in pension contributions she got too.

Do you have any more information, or is this some subtext I'm missing, so if the RM says it's paused that means they've cancelled it but they don't have the guts/decency to say so?

You know the series is paused and will probably be cancelled right?

This has been nagging me, so I have written to the RM, questioning the 2-coin format, and the size, neither of which make sense.
@BackyardBullion - this topic could make for interesting content for a video. 🙂
I mean, at this point any video I make will have the following response from The Royal Mint:
They don't care. They want as much as they can before the gravy train truely ends.

Hope it only sounds worse then it is. Fingers crossed it minimal damage only!
At this point even the most minimal of damage will result in a claim.

BYB unboxing vid?
100% mate
I have a phone call at 10.30 so I am dying to get it open but dont have enough time to film right now!
Let me tell you though, its making some very jingley jangly noises.
The Edinburgh Assay Office are very good at packaging my stuff and as it has been confirmed as opened by the Royal Mail you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be reciving a claim for ANY damage to ANY of the pieces I have made.

Free publicity from your channel to 100k viewers.
Whats the old saying, no such thing as bad publicity.. anyways I hope all is returned and intact sir 🙏🏽
I use the phrase "total bollocks" and "Thieving b******s" in my video, I don't think this will be good publicity for them.

Yep, exactly what I was thinking and hoping 😅 sorry but it would make a great video, and just about sums up the competency of royal mail.
Well, considering all I have for all the stress and annoyance is a £50 goodwill payment I think I need to reimburse myself with some additional ad-revenue by talking about how silly the Royal Mail actually are.

Someone's had the idea to put some bricks in the parcel and try and blag it was the sender lol
You can bet your bottom dollar this is being videoed when opened and if anything is missing they will be in deep do do.
Imagine challenging the Edinburgh Assay Office on the contents of the package.
Literally the most secure chain of custody I can think of in the "normal" world outside of law enforcement...

Yeah I've seen emails from Royal Mail stating items were already destroyed as deemed dangerous. Case closed. After a few strongly worded emails, package's miraculously were returned to sender.
I have been told there is a special room where parcels go in, but miraculously dont ever come out. At least in one piece anyway.

Well, I am not going to get over excited until I have the package and have opened it.
I would not put it past someone to have engaged in some foul play here.
Been reliably informed by someone that has a source within the dangerous goods centre that items like this go missing all the time.

I saw it when it was originally listed for sale as a BIN. I had contacted the seller about it at the time of the BIN with a backup offer of £3525.
Subsequently the seller and I then agreed the sale. Having read this thread I think it would have been a case of just get it sold and thats exactly what we did.
Sorry if I have annoyed anyone, not intentional
