Pete has reclaimed overpaid customs levied VAT - you might wish to ask him.

Thanks @sixgun , this could prove useful as I did indeed pay 20% VAT, I think I shall have to be quick though, I paid ParcelForce on 18/03/2017. I shall investigate!

To anyone in the UK interested in purchasing from silverstatues.com: I would ask them to print the above and include it in your parcel and with any relevant documentation.

Download a claim form from the Border Force Gov.Uk website and send it in, you should get the excess 15% back no problem

More frivolity

How is this little chunky, antiqued, high relief, 2 oz beauty flying under the radar at 1,000 mintage from Perth?  I'm working now so the latex gloves and fondling must wait until later (wow that sentence by itself could be taken WAY wrong).  I snagged this from Talisman Coins for around $155 all in.

Silver Libertad's - 2015 1oz proof, 2016 2oz Proof and 2016 5oz Proof. Such beautiful coins! All will be heading to NGC for grading...

[Silverstackeruk]

Casa de moneda libertad medals 2016.probley get these graded..

[Silverstackeruk]

Yes that's what attracted me to them ?

[morezone]

Some rounds - Heroes War is Hell, Apmex Lunar Horse, Sunshine Mint Route 66, Element Mint Statue of Freedom

Niue Gardian Angel, Canadian 1.5oz Grizzly, Canadian Maple Leaf - Privy (150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada) & Canadian Maple Leaf - Privy (Panda V2).

The 1.5oz Coin baffles me as to what series, if any it belongs to.  Originally we had the 1.5oz Arctic Series (According to JM Bullion) with Polar Bear, Arctic Fox, Polar with Cub and Snow Falcon.  Grizzly bear does fall into the Arctic category.  Is it a new series or just a follow on.  Was it an Arctic series or just a 1.5oz series or a release without any any name associated?  There is no consistency between dealers as to how it's/they've been categorized.  The release schedule of the 1.5oz was Polar Bear, Arctic Fox, Polar Bear with Cub, 2016 Multi Leaf, Snow Falcon, 2017 Multi Leaf, Grizzly Bear.

Shout out to Backyard Bullion for making the video on the 1/4 oz proof QB lion. Got mine in the post today. 

This coin is a real beauty. Some scratches on the capsule but not the coin. The box it came with is really nice as well. Part wood with detachable magnet piece that holds the coin. No regrets buying it.

very nice condition

[KDave]

I also received a 1/4 proof QB lion but mine has a scuff mark on the date, between the '2' and the '0' so will be going back for replacement 

I checked and double checked and it is definitely a scuff mark on the coin, very slight, hard to photograph, but just about visible on the picture.

Normally I would be slightly annoyed at things like this, but I could not help but laugh when I noticed it, having always said the RM have the worst quality control I have ever experienced. I just wish they would stop proving the point with the coins I buy!

Today I received...

Well Lightning has struck twice on me as the other day I recieved a carded silver Britannia through the post that I never ordered?!!

Don't know if the eBay seller I bought one off previously sent it to me or Yorkshire Bullion who now sell them as well, considering Yorkshire Bullion sent me a duplicate order the other month. All a bit odd as there wasn't any note inside the envelope that was torn at one end. 

It will sit to one side until I hear from either one of them.

[PolarPanda]

@KDave Can i ask where you bought? You bought in the UK?
