Just spoke with the lovely Jane at the mint. Couldn’t have been more helpful. She assured me that my 2oz silver will be dispatched today. Even offered to give me the tracking number over the phone. She said Royal Mail will update there systems this afternoon to send out the relevant emails   100% confirmation that It will be dispatched today. Then it’s up to the Royal Mail 😳

If he holds longer he will make more 👌 £35,000 is asking price at BCC

Ok and I can breath again.................. Finally it arrived.. Its does look stunning

I bit the bullet and rang RM to put myself out of my misery. Apparently it will be dispatched today, tomorrow or Monday ! I won't quite believe it until I get the dispatch email but feel a whole lot more confident.

Thanks, I’ll have to pass on the offer 😂 
 
Disclosure: the coin isn’t mine, it’s my eldest son’s- I bought the Silver.
He realizes now, that he was extremely lucky enough to purchase the Gold following my recommendation.  He did so, rather than pulling the trigger on Bitcoin at a future dip. 
His purchase wasn’t without incident though.
 
 It was his first purchase from the Royal Mint- he placed the order by his debit card and received email confirmation. 
However, on Tuesday The RM contacted him to say thank you for your order, but as it was a substantial first purchase they would require payment by Bank Transfer for ‘security reasons’ (bank transfer secure? 😂)- but any subsequent purchases could be made by Debit Card. He said what every other 24 year old might have to say, can you please take the £5k hold off my debit card and I’ll send it by Bacs?
The reply from the RM was kind of with some merit, pointing out that if they did so, he might lose his order, and asked him to send another £5k! 🙄
A little disappointing the response from the RM, in my opinion. 
At this point he was concerned. 
So, he came to me with the explanation- I could only muster £3k right away, so at this point, I would like to thank @SilverMike for very generously sending my Son £2k over to add to my £3k to pay (again!) for the coin!  😊 Thank you again Mike for your help. 😀 
The moral to the story is this- IF you have never bought a ‘substantial’ item from the RM previously and you have cash in your current account to pay for it, then don’t!- Use your Credit Card in the first instance and if this scenario occurs, you have the cash to pay! Or alternatively, have £10k available to buy a £5k coin.
 
The other moral to the story is, always have nice relationships and friends in general 😃 and make good friendships with people here on the Forum, pull together and help each other- as you never know when you might need help  yourself. 😃 
I really don’t think many other business could get away with this kind of behaviour- in fact, any other RM coin I would have advised my son  to tell them to take a running jump- but I guess this is a special coin, and the implication of not sending them double cash was worth the gamble of losing it!  
 
Incidentally, my son has been told not to expect the hold to be taken from his account for the original £5k for ‘at least 5 working days’ beans on toast for him then 😂 
@LawrenceChard, @BackyardBullion or anyone else, what do you think about the above, I specifically ask you two as you’re both in the PM business. 

The 6 Graces - little (2oz) and large (5oz)

Awful picture but in a rush and just wanted to show the cameo on this coin - it’s unreal 

Don’t quite know what all the fuss was about, whilst purchasing my Griffin I put this coin in my basket too 😂 

 


 

I have a close friend who ordered one and his is sat in open still with the price of £255 showing. He confirmed his order confirmation was at 09:17 so I do fear for his order but of course have my fingers crossed for all who haven't had a dispatch notification yet

I am on the phone now and its been confirmed I have a coin its on the way to dispatch today 
I think we are all OK as the rep said he believes all cancellations should have been confirmed
 

Looks half decent!!
