Price of the silver has really dropped. I wonder if we’ve reached a bottom and they will start ticking up now. I think sub £1k is a steal.

Could have done but I still buy second hand clothes and only shop in the reduced aisle of the supermarket....admitting I spent 5 grand on some coins would kind of shatter the illusion that I'm poor

Do you mean the infamous finger condoms?

Not sure mate, I’ve only heard of requests to return entire sets for replacement. If you could send only 1 coin that would be better.
Suggest anyone who returns a set publishes the Coa number here for each other’s reference.

So, the half sovereign I bought arrived this morning (due yesterday but no one to sign for so delayed it a day) 
I’ve popped my cherry twice with this order:
1. First time dealing with the Royal Mint
2. First time not buying just bullion to stack 
 
and what can I say.... I’ve enjoyed every minute of it!!
the tease and build up to the launch
hanging on edge whilst waiting for my lucky queue number to drop
the eyeing up of all the pretty pieces but knowing what’s within my range and the ease of slipping that little beauty into my basket
more waiting and teasing of stories from other people’s experiences 
and then the ringing of my bell
(I even swear the postie could see the joy in my face when he handed me my box)
even the unboxing was a joy.... stripping away layer after layer of gorgeous outer garments until finally reaching the final piece
breath held.... and open!!
WHAT A BEAUTY!!! 
I can’t fault any part of this experience. No pain, no tears and no regrets! 
Thank you Royal Mint! 
 

I appear to be the opposite of most folks, no surprise here. Have not received my set yet and have a delivery expected in 5 days time butHMRM has gone ahead and relieved me of circa £5k in anticipation. If they land , rattling about in semi opened cases I will not be be surprised but gunning for the buggers. Wish me luck, I have the 5 coin set ordered

As a member well known for rampant consumerism, I find that hard to believe😁
Weren't you flogging your gift cards one year mate?

Had my royal mail deliveries  all good and no damage or flaws/problems - very happy with results
Only waiting on five coin set, not dispatched yet  
Off to the safe deposit box, not to be be seen again for five years plus

Just received 3 parcels and the 3 coin set is absolutely wonderful.. my first purchase of a sovereign very happy with it 

And thanks to all the members and the person who posted the link before 9am on Monday 

Just got my 2 sovereigns delivered today ..still waiting for the box of 3 to come yet phoned RM up and she gave me a tracking number for that and Royal Mail says it is " The sender is preparing the item" and will give me more information when they receive it..Here is my 2 sovereigns..

Mine just arrived and I found this very strange sticker underneath the coin. What could it mean?!  

The 5 coin Sovereign set has landed. Thank you to @paulmerton for the early morning link on Monday! Great to be part of this wonderful TSF community.

Going to be busy this thread today 😂

And the wait is over for me. 

I'd just like to thank everyone for their gratitude over this. One member (I won't name them unless they want!) even wanted to send me some money as a thank you for posting the magic link, which was incredibly humbling! But the offer alone was thanks enough for me as I was totally not expecting anything as gracious as that. Besides, I will hopefully be receiving my own Sovereigns today, assuming nothing has gone wrong with my order!

The cynical side of me is thinking this is just an opportunity to get rid of the stuff swept out from the back of the vault, but hashtag yolo! I'm in.
