Thank you @kneehow2018 for the stunning 2020 The Royal Arms BU 9999 Gold Coins

Definitely part of my bucket list of coins I want to buy but even in the current market I would not pay over 4% over spot for.

Thank you @paulmerton I was unaware that the Royal Mint released The Gold Standard 2021 1oz Gold Bullion Coin. Don't mind it being sold out but I would like to buy the The Gold Standard 2022 1oz Gold Bullion Coin when (hopefully) released.

I have noticed Royal Mint are now doing The Gold Standard 2021 UK One Ounce Gold Proof Coin. https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/gold-standard/the-gold-standard-2021-one-ounce-gold-proof-coin/ It is a beautiful coin but has anyone heard on the rumour mill that Royal Mint may release a 2022 Once Ounce Gold Standard bullion coin?

I was recently faced with a choice buy from https://auragentum.de/ (German bullion dealer) and receive delivery within 3-4 working days (provided it was not held up by customs) or from Chards https://www.chards.co.uk/ and potentially have to wait six weeks. The German dealer was slightly cheaper but when you factor in postage and the fact I could drive and collect from Chards the cost of the bullion worked out the same. Pre-Brexit I would have chosen the German dealer post Brexit UK dealer I wanted to avoid all the headaches associated with VAT and import-tax.

Anyone new on the forum not built up seller feedback wanting to sell high ticket item do not let this put you off. Depending on the buyers history and feedback either send item(s) first or use intermediary service Best value for both sellers and buyers carry out transactions between themselves without having bullion dealer involved taking a cut at either end and the forum is a brilliant place for trade between private individuals. Over the years I have bought and sold substantial amounts never had single issue. What I have been amazed by is how vigilant moderators and the owner Chris have been at weeding out scammers that occasionally do join the forum. Always do your own due diligence but don’t be afraid to deal with people you have never traded with before as everyone works hard on maintaining good reputation on the forum. As you start buying on the forum you will soon realise how much time, energy, effort and care sellers put in when departing with their precious metals.

I have not been active for a while on the forum but I am still paying attention to the Gold price. I was thinking of buying gold from auragentum.de from Germany but instead it worked out almost the same price buying from Chards (1 oz bullion Gold coins). I took your advice and decided to buy only from UK dealers while Brexit / sharks still circling looking for prey. Sorry to hear the bad news BYB and I hope the issue gets resolved with a full refund of unnecessary charges and some compensation for the time and mental stress had to go through.
