I have to make a claim.

Total shambles

These gold pattern "coins" are hallmarked and do not have any "One Pound" marking - they are not legal tender.

As such, I believe that they are not CGT exempt.

Thanks, I will edit the title. 

I will also price guarantee these items. 

Spot at time of posting was £1904.82

I will discount by any drops in spot price accordingly at time of purchase

But price is capped at original asking price regardless of what spot price does today. 

You win if spot goes down basically!

Well, I am very happy to say that since we noticed this coin set the number of "total available" has not changed from 46

Also, the Britannia through the ages set has not changed from 13

If we can save people from buying these sets that is mission acomplished 

Yeah, I have called this set out at some point I am sure. 

Might even be worth a stand alone video on it. 

Spink books tell me that a Fine Elizabeth 1st Sixpence is £70 with Extra Fine being around £200

We know that a Fine example of a Young Head Crown is probably around £50 

This means you are paying upwards of £500 for a Silver proof 1977 crown and a box.

Shame on the mint.

@BackyardBullion if it’s still in Northern Ireland I could find out for you ??? I know someone who works in the mallusk  sorting office ,  if it helps at all 👍

Well, considering the escalations team and the CEO office don't know I don't know if that's going to help! 

They tell me they are waiting for the national returns centre to get back to them.

It's been 2 weeks and no reply from them yet...

As I thought ( lost ) I honestly believe the dangerous goods email is we fooled up but would rather not admit it.

As an aside, do you get actual worth ( selling price) back or just metal content price?

The cost to replace the items.

This is basically the cost of the silver, manufacturing and hallmarking costs.

When I sent it the content of the silver was worth about £2200, now it's actually more than £2500. So the chance of being able to get more than £2500 is probably pretty slim, but if I had been allowed to make a claim 3 weeks ago when I could have done at the earliest opportunity I would have been able to factor in the £150 hallmarking charges and some labour.

Now that silver is worth more that other additional costs take it way over £2500

If they come to me and say they won't pay because it's now worth more than £2500 I will flat out take them to court and fully kick the toys out the pram.

If we claim I will be expecting a full £2500 coming to me and then I will be asking for some additional compensation as goodwill to factor in the above. A shut me up fee if you like. They have been so abysmally awful and this has caused me significant stress.

We will see. 

@JamesH

From my experience, that means the royal fail didn't get around to delivering your package and will do it next working day.

As an update to my "dangerous" package....

They royal mail don't know where it is.

Tracking has not been updated.

They literally can't tell me where it is.

Looks like this will end up being a claim but they want to wait a few more weeks before we initiate.

Total shambles.

Price reduction, £925 + post 

Any takers?

Sold for full asking price.
