The Completer in 1 OZ has by far the highest mintage of the 1 OZ Proof QB. If the 2 OZ with 750 mintage would fly away, i wouldn't be wondering. I have never expected the 1 OZ to go that high. For me, the 2 OZ is way more interesting. The RM had only 100/150 pcs. Today gs.be had some 2 OZ for 450/475€, all gone immediately. The last 1 OZ was sold for 336€ at gs.be. Crazy times, but i believe the Completer will be a alltime classic. We will wait a long time to see such a beauty. I love this coin

Not PMs but got my first load of the new £20s. Always weird getting used to new fiat, at least gold is eternal!

Thanks @Ranger2girls for the lovely 2001 proof sovereign filling a gap in the QEII date run.
Also thanks to @arshimo2012 for the 1919 Canadian sovereign, I love the Canadian branch mint sovereigns. 

Would that be enough stamps on the package... 🤣

Received the Brexit 50p gold proof and SOTD sovereign this week.

Sale of Silver Shield Items on TSF
 
Quickstart Guide

I can’t see the "start new topic" button - Can I list an item for sale? 
Yes you can. In order to stop spam on the forum a minimum amount of posts are required before you can post items for sale in the trade section. Although the amount of posts is not disclosed it is a very small number, we suggest that you introduce yourself in the welcome new members section if you haven’t done so already. Alternatively upgrading to Premium Membership will give you immediate access to list items for sale.

Trading limits**:
Premium members can list an unlimited amount of trade listings in the Buy, Sell, Trade section.

Standard members can list 1 trade listing per 30 days.

All Premium Member groups can post an unlimited amount of listings. To upgrade to Premium Membership please  see: https://thesilverforum.com/store/category/2-premium-membership/

Insurance - sending precious metals items in the UK
Just so everyone is aware, the standard £50 insurance on Royal Mail signed for does not cover precious metals items such as coins etc as they are classed as money. Please send via Royal Mail special delivery if you would like your items insured, they will be insured by default up to £500 but you can increase this if needed. Sellers please also clarify in your listing who assumes responsibility if item is sent by an uninsured delivery service and lost (It is assumed that the buyer assumes responsibility as they are choosing the shipping method, but it is also good idea to state this in your listing) Information correct as far as we are aware and at time of writing, however it is advisable to check on the Royal Mail website. https://www.royalmail.com
For sale listings
All topics listing items for sale must state an asking price. (Apart from when you are solely looking to exchange, then please state your asking exchange)

Topics listed in UK & Europe section are for items located within this area. For items located in other areas please use the appropriate other trade forums.

Including a photo of your items for sale is very useful, it is also helpful, especially for new members, to include a piece of paper with the date and your forum username on it in the photo.

Trade Prefixes:
Please use the appropriate prefix for your trade topic. Once you have completed your topic, or if you decide to withdraw your topic please update your listing with the appropriate prefix. To do this use the edit button and select the approbate prefix from the drop down menu.
For Sale For Exchange For Sale or Exchange For Auction Wanted Completed Withdrawn - for if you want to withdraw your listing
  Closed - this prefix is used by Admin/Moderators either when a topic is automatically closed after 30 days, or if needed to be manually closed. Info - this tag is for Moderator/Admin use only and is intended for the pinned topics that provide info such as this QuickStart guide here. Trade incentive - for moderation use only, for when running trade incentive promotions to promote the trade section further.  Wanted topics 

In general wanted topics are placed in the location the member posting the wanted topic is located in. Members from different regions can still view your wanted post in your region and offer you their item if they wish to ship internationally.
However, members can also post wanted topics in other regions to where they are located IF they have a shipping address in that region and indicate it in the listing. E.g. a member in the U.K. can list a wanted topic in the USA & Canada section if providing a USA shipping address and indicating that the shipping address will be to a USA address in their listing.

Bumping topics - and abuse of this feature  

The Silver Forum has been active since 2014 and all forum members have so far traded without excessive bumping of their trade topics. Without instruction forum members have followed etiquette and have not abused bumping their topics. However, we have decided to add this bit into the QuickStart guide to avoid any potential future abuse by new members as the forum grows. Should you have a trade listing that has not had any recent posts in it; you may, a maximum of once per day, post the word “bump” in order to bump your listing to the top. Note that every time a member comments in your topic, your topic is bumped to the top, therefore there is no need to use the word “bump” if your topic has already been posted in on that day.

Is this the last coin, or is this fantasy?
Caught in a Mint 'queue', can't escape web reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
May be a poor strike, we'll get no sympathy
Mintage 'easy come, easy go'
Far too high, far too low
So nevermind the mintage
Doesn't really matter to me, to me
The Mint, just $%^&ed up release
Put 'Innovations' on the coin
I pulled the trigger, now its mine
Mama - series just began!
But now they've gone and thrown it all away all of us are going to make a shedload of money on the first one
Royal Mint, ooh, ooh
You didn't mean to make me cry
But if I'm not back again next time for the next 'proof'
Carry on, carry on as if QC doesn't matter
Too late, the coin has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Quality's lacking all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to grade...
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth!
Mama, ooh (anyway the grade goes) I don't want to sell
I sometimes wish I'd never bought this at all!
 
Etc etc etc (radio version edit fades out here ).
 
 

Makes me glad I posted it here then yesterday as soon as I got the email. At least some were able to see that and get in on the action. Shame we never even got a glimpse of the 2oz gold. I can't say that I'd of been brave enough to buy it but it would have been exciting to at least see it and contemplate it for a few moments.

Today I received this pretty little, set along with another few special coins... Remortgage necessary!

A reluctant sale, but gone to a good home, time to find them again!

Copper & Silver Aztecs courtesy of @SilverStan.  Australia Shillings & Pesos from @MikeSol- and the little South American dodgers are from a tat shop- the Columbian isn’t Silver but the pretty portrait makes up for it. 

Mention the forum and pick up your 1oz Krugerrand for only £16!
 
Or Slabbed and Graded Eagle for only £25

Sorry to say I’m not going to be able to attend but would love to see pictures of the event and others having a good time if someone can post some on here after 🙂

Now there's one I don't have in the collection... 1985!

Not a PM but left work with a perfect phone ran for train and phone flew out of pocket 
Went head to head with a car and lost 😪
£250 For a new screen 

After last week’s shenanigans, along comes @kneehow2018 to restore your faith in humanity. A gorgeous 2012 full sovereign at a fantastic price AND a QB Lion graded PF70 UCam thrown in for free! What a way to start a damp Tuesday😊😊

1985 and 2020 proof sovs

Yup RRP £3995

To those who have not used the Coin Cabinet, i registered a few days back so i could track the Una & Lion sale, but have ended up having a good look & play around
Really nice site to use, just looking round now and some nice bargains to be had, graded gold coins at spot or a little under
Great descriptions, all the info you need, mintages, purity, weights.  Can sort items into specific items/countries you collect
Got a few bids on i didnt plan to make !  Nice you know the hammer price is what you pay rather working out adding buyers preiums to your max bid
Great selection.  All items ended today, 3PM GMT onwards if you have an hour spare to have a browse

A suggestion from @jonrms was to have some TSF branded mugs, thank you for this suggestion. 

You may have noticed the small design improvement on the forum, where the TSF T logo shows as an icon next to the forums. Dark grey indicating there are unread topics/posts in that forum and light grey to indicated that those forums have been read by you and there are currently no new posts/topics.

I thought that this was a perfect logo to include on a mug. The contemporary grey logo design will look great in any kitchen, or on any desk. 

I have already ordered one of these for myself, I know looks are subject, but I personally love the design. When this arrives I will try to upload some photos  

100% of the profits received from the sale of these mugs will go directly into marketing TSF!

To buy your mug CLICK HERE

Please send me a PM for a discount code, the discount code must be used at the time of checkout, it isn't possible to give the discount after you have checked out, so please PM me first for the code if you are a Platinum Premium Member before placing an order.
