is  DHL not insured to enter Scotland?
Don't mind me I'm just looking for my coat 🙂

I’m in Scotland and get DHL for the more expensive orders. We are on the periphery so they use a subcontractor for the last leg of the journey. 

@kimchi Even though its even more premium i’m quite liking these blister packs the RM are coming out with. I suppose another slab for the coins but another step towards easier guarantee its real when buying.

@watchesandwhisky My 4 coin set was dispatched today. Be careful and check your emails. I had to phone up and reverify my card because of the length of time, the authorisation had dropped off. This might be an issue with second engraver coin to I feel. 

@Darr3nG I hope so mate 🙏

Just checked and mine has also moved to closed orders, with a tracking number - no email though. Hopefully they're perfect after this long wait.  

Latest 2 beauties fresh from the Royal Mint.
The 1 oz Platinum Completer and its 10 oz silver cousin.

 

 
 
 

All getting a bit spicy with these growing prerelease premiums! Wonder if we’ll reach the point where it’s actually cheaper to buy it off one of the instant flippers on release.

Following on from the deal posted on the gold/silver deals last month, I took the plunge in between Christmas and new year and purchased some things from tavex bullion. On the deals thread there were a few people who were interested in buying from them but unsure due to their recent arrival to the UK market, so I'd thought I'd share my experience.
So I managed to buy 10 silver britannia's, a 1oz gold Britannia and a queen Victoria sovereign.
The Silver brits all came in coin capsules, they look to be free of any dents, scratches or damage, and are all minted in 2021. But nearly all of them do have heavy milk spotting. Now I'm not an expert on milk spots, but this package was held up with royal mail for over a week and I'm wondering if being stored in a cold sorting office/van has contributed to the milk spotting as I've not got any other coins as heavily spotted as these. I'm not worried though as these are bullion coins going into a coin tube.
The gold Britannia is in perfect condition, again arrived in a coin capsule, minted in 2022 and the only fault I can find with it is the luster of the coin isn't as high as my other 1oz gold brit.
The Queen Victoria sovereign is dated as 1898 and I have to say the condition of this 124 year old coin is absolutely fantastic. Apart from a few very light surface scratches (from cleaning maybe) the coin it's self is absolutely lovely. Didn't come in a coin capsule, but well packaged.
The packaging of the coins was great too. Arrived in a jiffy bag, 2 boxes with foam packaging cut out to hold each coin. On the whole apart from the milk spotted silver brits there is nothing I can complain about. I was invoice number 180 odd, so going by that I'm guessing they are slowly picking up customers. I'll be sure to buy from them again. Hope this helps anyone who was in 2 minds about purchasing from them.
 

IMO: People stack silver due to the pumpers telling them they can become rich. I find on the forum people start stacking silver and after some time realise their losses and change to stacking gold.
I think normal people thinking silver can go to $100 or whatever the made up number is gives them a bit of hope. However, none of these people offer sound financial advice and when people lose the pumpers are not held accountable. 

Any investment that you start in the hole at -20% and then even further minus due to premium should be a red flag for most. 

@kimchi tried to quote you but not happening on my phone. I’ll be doing the exact same 👍

Anyone know when Harrington & Byrne offer sovs are shipping?

See it loud and clear
It's a no-brainer really isn't it?
Once the rush has stopped and premiums go down a bit mind, and with hopefully a drop in gold closer to £1300. As the jokers at the Mint might say 'we're here all year'!

Wembley Costco now have the 2022 sovereign in stock as of today.

Bullion sov looks lovely. Interesting that they used screw caps for the bullion, but not for the proof...
 

The Double (bullion version!)

oh. What like made at all or made yet. Seen a few on FB the last few days. 

I used that line of logic before....I'm currently purchased up to Xmas 2035 😅

@kimchi Only thing Ive been looking forward to this month 😂

Thats going to be a gutter if we don’t end up with the 4 coin set after waiting all this time
