Not at all. €1038 delivered from Germany - I did get it sent to an Irish address, though (didn't fancy paying the Brexit tax).

My Christmas present to myself... Gonna spend the next few days testing everything shiny in the house

Find your own way to schmooze @LawrenceChard... He's my ticket to a proof sov!

@LawrenceChardif you want to send me a sovereign, I'll pretend to have got it and photoshop it into my picture... just sayin'

from 2001 - great prices back then (both gold and houses!)

Is that the inscription on the reverse? I's buy that for a dollar!

The fact that they appeared to have manage to pre-order so many of the coins that many of us couldn't get a sniff of, on ordering day. I'm still in the queue (not bitter, just surprised )! They may have been very lucky and pre-ordered everything they have for sale, or they may be hoping to pick up some deals between now and the 6-8 weeks delivery time. Either they make some "flip" profit or they just refund. The buyer may not be at risk, but is without cash for a few weeks. I can see they have previously sold some higher-value coins, but most of what they've recently sold has been low value.

Anyone here put a bid in? I didn't - although an established seller, there was something hokey about this.

All Pre-Order though, not in had

Reminded me of this classic BBC "historical drama":

I have absolutely no idea what you mean, nope, no way, nada!

It's a slippery slope... enjoy!

I keep buying 1937 crowns, not sure why...

Wrong box, or wrong coin...?

No sovereign but a nice selection, including a bullion 2022 Britannia, Peter Rabbit proof and a Windsor Centenary proof. Does this count for my reaction entry for the bullion sovereign @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer @LawrenceChard (#ChardsMysteryBox)???

Open it, reseal it, and act surprised!

I'm adjusting my stacking strategy, to focus on sovereigns for 2022 (specifically the 2022 bullion full), so I'm going to set some ambitious goals to measure against: 25 x 2022 Full Sovereigns 50 x 2022 Full Sovereigns 100 x 2022 Full Sovereigns 1kg X 2022 Full Sovereigns (~136) Based on previous year's stacking, I should reasonably be able to achieve #1, but gonna really push for #2. If I manage to "flip" some of my other gold bullion (and even some silver), there is a outside chance of #3, but isn't that what a goal is for?

Got the same email about the Royal Mail error... hoping it's that they are waiting on a restock of gothics or 2022 sovs to fill the mystery box

Great advice

I'll take the rest
