Great post today. Coin I won on the coin cabinet auction on sunday 1878 2.5 dollar eagle. First time using them and a great experience from start to finish. Also a couple cheeky koalas from @kiskelo auction.

Wait, what? I think gold is tax exempt

I'm IRISH NOT EUROPEAN...    never will be.....unfortunately part of Europe for trade and free movement of illegal imagrints but that is going to fall apart soon... 

My replacement Silver Una and the Lion arrived today from the Royal Mint- the Una will be yesterday’s news for most here but I’ve been awaiting this one like an expectant father- looks fabulous through my tired old eyes.







 

Here's another ebay bargain 😂

Same here, best I could find - it's just nice that the UK isn't left behind on silver deals for a change 👍

16.85 euros 264oz delivered thank you very much ....
Happy with that... That works out far better that the European mint.
Cheers lads for the tip.

Sounds like the only thing to do with mine then , when the time is right is put them Fleabay with a honest description and hope for the best !!! But Going to wait for if and when a 2nd in the series comes around ! 
I could always give them to backyard they would look lovely melted down into one of hes globes lol 

Please @people ... if you find a good (UK) deal, feel free to post the link. We are struggling over here for toilet paper, and affordable Silver,

Nothing compared to the banks failing 😂

Yes, ordered last Monday and arrived today. Pretty good considering what's going on! 
Do you mean 10 x 1 kilo? If they have a 10 kilo bar I want to see it! 😍

Nice why not

Thanks for the info. I weighed paying VAT on this Baird silver which is still available to buy and close to spot against waiting for new low premium VAT free stock to come available. I decided to bite the bullet and pay full VAT on silver for the very first time. I went big and ordered the 100 oz bar. It's a gamble, but time will tell whether it was the right call.

Now I know how it works it isn't a problem,  I have them stored now and can just transfer an amount to my online funds with them then purchase my coins/bars.  Just a puzzle with the website design and lack of instructions, had to figure it out.  Got to say I am happy with the prices especially the bars.

Blimey what a cumbersome business transaction to buy from Baird 🙂  They bill you with the total amount and you pay online so straight forward you think, but then they only take £50 deposit and say your order is being "processed" which you are notified by email.  Then later you get another email to say they are getting it ready to be "dispatched" but you must pay the balance.  Then you get a notification through their actual site telling you their banks details to pay them.  So then you log in and look around the whole site trying to find a way of paying them LOL   Finally I figured out the only way to do it is by adding funds to my account using the bank details.   Anyway I have paid them so waiting to see if I get an email to say it is on its way and not have to jump any more loops 😉

Una Update-
Just had a telephone call from the Royal Mint.  
I sent my Una back for exchange (see above coin) on the 31st January- heard nothing so called them up a day or so ago and call returned today: 
I am told that due to quality issues that my Una is 'being re-minted' (not sure this is a word) but regardless- I have been assured that I will at least be getting an Una and I will receive it at the 'end of April'.  
It'll be worth the wait. 

Thanks to @SmallSilverStacker Firstly this Is how a 007 coin should look😁 and the dos peso although small is just a great coin

Yeye but you get the drift, a bar-sized coin. The question still stands.

2020 American Samoa National Park 5 oz silver bullion ATB arrived today.

Came in and went straight out. Traded it for 5 sovs
