My first double sovereign! I got it because of this year’s design, and I really like the size. Easier to see the design than a sovereign, and not as expensive as the 5 sovereign.

So Today I have finally taken the leap and handed my notice in at my Job. This will allow me to concentrate on Liquid Metals UK full time, from 3D designing to pouring and keeping my self up to track on the business side. This Wouldn't be possible with out all my amazing customers old and new so just wanted to say a massive thanks to all who follow me whether purchasing or even just a message of support.
THANKS 
 
 

Dont mind at all! Take #11, and welcome to the forum 👍

Another newbie here to make an introduction.
I've been collecting silver for around a year now, initially because I thought it would be a good long-term investment. However once I'd got my first few ounces, the lure of the shiny was too difficult to overcome, so nowadays I keep buying silver purely because I enjoy feeling like a medieval king with a chest full of treasure . I'm a big history fan, so I was collecting Roman coins before I got started on the silver bullion. My current favourite antique coin that I own is a Roman Dupondius from around 27BC (sadly, it's only made of brass...)
I've also recently added a shiny new half-sovereign to the collection - the first bit of gold I've ever bought. Will definitely be adding more at some point in the near future, along with more silver coins that have interesting or beautiful designs.

Welcome to the forum!  
I am also a fan of the Queen's Beasts, and started buying some of the Tudor Beasts.  I would personally place a higher value on the Queen's Beasts and would be surprised if the Tudor Beasts ended up as popular.  They are still nice coins in my opinion, but to this point I do prefer the Queen's Beasts from a design perspective.  The Tudor Beasts also came along at a point when the Royal Mint has introduced a huge number of coins many more sizes and metals (even different edges!) than when the Queen's Beasts were released.  
That said, I'm still buying some of the Tudor Beasts, as I still like them for my own collection.  I would be pleasantly shocked if they do as well as the Queen's Beasts.

Hi Everyone,

I have loved the Queen beast collection and managed to gather the entire bullion set last year. I really loved those coins, and I have seen that some of the complete proof set were sold for 4000$ to 5000$. Because of that, I have decided to buy two sets of the new proof set of Tudor Beast. I managed to be on the recuring buying list from the Royal mint and got 2X sets of 1Oz Panther and the Lion of Tudor. I plan to sell one set when the collection is complete. 

So far, I haven't been as impressed by the Tudor Beast coins compare to the Queen beast and was wondering if they will be as valuable as the Queen Beast? How much do you think the complete proof set will sell for? Is there a way to know in advance how valuable a collection of coin will be?
 
I would really appreciate your insights, thanks in advance.

After a full check and double check of all monies in I have just made the final balancing payment for the raffle. 
£585 donated tonight brings it to £3300 as a grand total. 

 
And here is my bank statement for all the donations, totalling £3300 (actually, the donations total £3270 but we had a £30 donation accidentally made directly to the RedCross that I included in the £3300 grand total)
 

What a fantastic draw.  Very well done @BackyardBullion you really did a great job organising and running this whole Charity event.  You did us all proud.

A few thank yous to round out this charity raffle
And so comes to an end our greatest ever charity raffle here on The Silver Forum.
Nearly £1,200 worth of silver was donated to create the prizes...
Time, energy & effort from so many people to make this happen...
£3,300 has been raised by all of us as a community and that will make a huge difference to people who are in dire need. 
I am humbled. 
I want to personally thank each silver pouring creator that was involved in this project. @RiverbankSilver gets first mention for this was his idea! I'm just the guy that had a bit of spare time to organise it. @SilverAngel @StBeesSilver @tynesidesilverbullion @AtomicSilver @LiquidMetalsUK thank you all so very much for your time and effort in all of these bars. THEY ARE AMAZING and unique products that will hold a special place in peoples stacks I have no doubt. 
A big thank you to The Silver Forum for hosting this giveaway.
The organisation of these things is no easy feat and I 100% could not have done this without the forum as a platform to host, communicate and promote this event. 
Thank you to everyone for all the donations whether it was one ticket or 100 tickets, every single penny counts. 
Lastly, a big thank you to those select few members that I used to vent frustrations on in the early stages of this raffle - you know who you are and you are invaluable. Thank you. 
Onwards and upwards I guess. 
We got to shoot for £4,000 in the next raffle!
Right, sofa and a beer...Let's Go!

I’m in!
