Just means they were submitted on the same invoice - different line, and hence coin, numbers i.e. the 002 and 003.
Thanks to Numi there will be lots of coins, such as 2017 sovereigns, with the same invoice number?

a NGC MS69 silverpanda 1999 Large date serif
That makes my collection complete
Will try to swap over some from MS69 to MS70 in the future tho
all 1989 - 2000 is MS69, got 1 MS70 from 2001 large D and all from 2002 - 2017 is MS70

When using money from gold sales as part of the deposit to buy property I had to prove buying and selling the coins, I assume to prove I did not receive them as a gift, and also to meet money laundering requirements - not sure what recipes prove in that department though to be honest. Keep your invoices when purchasing and stick them in a safe deposit box with your metals like paul says. 
There is another advantage if you stack only one or two types of coin. You can use invoices for the same type, say sovereigns, which will over the years have different values and this will allow you to play tax games - claim you are selling coins at a loss by using recent invoices if spot drops, or in the future if CGT free status is removed and you sell coins that were bought 10 years prior, use invoices from recent purchases. 'Mixed years' invoices are a good hedge against future tax changes.  

Hey everyone - I have just done a video about record keeping and was hoping we could start a thread discussion sharing ideas etc.

Please share your thoughts on record keeping!

Just for fun...
Why not start a BYB/SF registry?
At members' discretion, they can list their name against their bars' serial numbers.
If members would like to purchase a specific number. they know who to contact.
It works for the Mint! Thinking out loud 

A last little thank you video!!!
 

Just to let everybody here know I have posted a new thread about the 100g bars, please go have a look!
Secondly for 2018 mintages of the 1oz bars we will be giving existing serial number owners first refusal at their existing serial number. 
I like @Roy 's idea of having a TSF Bar registry that you can then ask people for their numbers. It would of course have to be populated by silver forum members, but as you all have basically done this already by asking for specific numbers in this thread I don't see this as a problem for us to publish a full list of silver forum names. No personal names or details would be shared of course!

I couldn't have put it better, I echo every sentiment! It's been a delight to receive my three yesterday and to open today (I had to dash across the country for a gig yesterday!).
I would like to reserve no 123 again from the 2018 release please, as well as the same number from any other issues such as the proposed 10 Oz.
Beautiful work BYB, you must be very proud of yourself

Today I bought a 1999 1oz Silverpanda NGC MS69 Serif 1
That will make my collection complete when it arrives
All coins will be up on www.agpanda.com as soon as possible
I will have every version from 1989 to 2001 in MS69
And 2002 to 2017 in MS70 except the 2004 and 2006, as they are only MS69 for now
I will try to change every MS69 to MS70 later on, but that's really expensive

No.171 checking in. 
A superlative transaction. A great idea/product, honest marketing, attention to 'the little things', packaging, communication, participation, carmaraderie, enthusiasm....
I'm gushing....well done Sir. Please buy Mrs. BYB a posh dinner 
Can I reserve no. 172 from the next batch please?
(see today I received for pics)
 

Number 85 has arrived safely with me today. Very well packaged. The finer details from the tissue paper to hand signed letter ooze quality. This is my  first hand poured bar and first 1 oz bar also. Seemed to have got a good weight. 
Thank you to Backyard and Chris for comming up this idea. I look forward to future releases  

The silver bullion bars are now in my hands, what a beautiful hand made bar. Many thanks BYB. Craftsmanship at it's finest. ?

Yours were posted by SD today so should be with you tomorrow. I delayed your postage by one day as it was next day and wanted to try and make sure people got them on the same day, like a proper release...however it seems that Royal Mail 2nd class signed for is the equivalent of next day delivery for some people! 
It is all a scam I am sure!!!

I had the same problem..I sent mine back and had it replaced

2017 Temple Pandas in Bi-Met and Brass.  There's a spec of something on the bi-met both on the medal and inside plastic pouch.  Might be some frosting issue on the brass.
Parcel was well overdue and seems to have been mis-sorted multiple times.  Dispatched from Shanghai for the UK on 28th May.  Arrived back in Shanghai on 1st June and dispatched to UK again.  Arrived back in Shanghai on the 4th June and dispatched to the UK again.  Finally arrived in the UK on 17th.

Here is some interesting facts about these bars, by the numbers....
The Silver Forum Bars in numbers
Initial mintage: 171
Estimated mintage: 200 (or 250 depending on demand)
Project duration: 2 weeks planning, 7 weeks production
Weight: 1 ozt (min)
Purity: 99.9% Fine Silver
Average weight: 32.5 grams
Lightest bar: 31.12 grams
Heaviest bar: 34.5 grams
x220 bars poured
x5 graphite melting crucibles totalling 85 grams of burnt off graphite
x40 rejected (because of weight or quality)
x180 bars sent for hallmarking
x1 undergone destructive testing
x8 “mint error” bars (miss stamped by me) – bound for the melting pot!
15 individual stamps per bar
Total individual stamps: 2,565
Number of people purchased bars: 76 (so far!)
x7 Gold Premium Members
x40 Premium Members
x29 Standard Members
x7 Countries over 3 continents!
x5 US States & x30 UK Counties
~60,000 cm square of brown wrapping paper
~40 meters of Brown Packaging tape
60,000 cm Square of Bubble wrap
Average distance each bar has travelled by post (including hallmarking): 750 miles
Longest distance to be travelled by any bar: 10,000 miles (to Australia!)

I either used the wrong number, or on one bar I had the number horizontal. When you do 1080 stamps in 4 hours you are bound to make a few mistakes!
I'm not sure what you mean about a "recognised mint" The hallmark just means that it has been tested by the Edinburgh Assay Office and they can verify that it is 999 pure silver like I say it is. There are a lot of people who will use a lesser purity than stated so that they can make a little extra, selling 900 silver as 925 etc.
The hallmark adds a great layer of security and authenticity about me as a creator and craftsman.
Don't worry about questions, I like to answer them!

I use a silver polish foam and yellow dusters, little polish foam and rub rub rub!
I haven't sent any back...I just miss stamped them when putting the serial numbers on them is all! So I cannot sell them for obvious reasons!

Just for some transparency for the thread...
I made a mistake here, not trying to hide that fact by PM'ing @evende :-)
We are all human...

Yep the hallmarking is a really great feature, No question of purity in hand pours is awesome! 

+1
I think it might be a good idea to stop at 200/year
If so, i take #88 from next years to come 
I can pay for #200 if you put it out to the monthly lottery
Sorry for any grammatical fails

I was not expecting British hallmarking I am very impressed and even more happy to be involved with this, well done BYB. Looking forwards to the bars. 

I claimed it six weeks ago....it was always going to be raffled. 
To be fair you did just call it now though and BB cant be expected to remember that...Nevermind I will pass on it.
