APMEX has already emailed me a pre-paid label for return postage in response to a photo of this bar.  So at least they did the right thing, and without any hassle🙂

I received this very substantial 100oz bar today.  I think the design is great, and I was surprised by the thickness (other 100oz bars I've seen are longer and flatter).  The 1/4 oz dragon is there to illustrate the thickness of this bar.  Unfortunately it has a dark blemish on one side, and a large gash on the other.  It was a very low premium, but I still might ask about an exchange.  I really do like the bar itself though!😊

Taking delivery of 2700 oz
Just another day in the BYB household!

 
Added 0 minutes later... Oh, and here are those towers of 10 oz Beasts laid bare for all to see

Definitely in for Yorkshire Pudding. May need to get some parsnips shipped in though. A good roast isn't complete without roasted parsnips.

sorry for images David baily I an,t

 

Gold and silver pick-ups.  
I’m late to the party in terms of the Queen’s Beasts Proof Silver, in fact my first ever Silver Proof! Very nice to see up close what the fuss is all about.
I’m finding it difficult to express my feelings toward the Britannia... Gorgeous.  And not even my favourite design, but I’m being swayed!
And to provide balance, some sensible and dependable Bullion purchases.  




 

Lovely condition, brightened my day up seeing this one. 
As did my new arrival.  Thank you very much @MikeSol. 

I paid the same sort of premium.

Some nice close FF, none consecutive. 1981 mintage < 400,000
The landscape bars are one logo reverse and one frosted.
Gotta love collecting.

I'm not really into the engelhards as I'm quite sure they're more likely to be counterfeited than the older JM's but I think it could be similar to a football rivalry like you either support Man utd or City the silver version is JM v Engelhard!

I have about 20 if those bad boys with 4 different style. Have resisted the urge to pay for any of the poured ones due to the premiums.... 
 
they are lovely though.
I get obsessive about collections though.
I decided to go down the route of as many 1 oz bars in different variety...

Already checked serial numbers...
Where will it all end.
