**January 2018** Group order from European Mint!

[PansPurse]

Just thinking about how much goes into sorting and organising that... We're clearly not paying you nearly enough!

[Thelonerangershorse]

Can't see the gold though.

[BackyardBullion]

Sorted and all present and accounted for...

With one small exception. We had one too many 2017 kookaburras and one too few 2018 kookaburras.

All things considered this is pretty good. Not once did GS.be get the group order right. I often had to substitute my own coins to get the order right and then GS.be would rectify at the next order!

Anyone who ordered a 2018 kookaburra and would like to substitute for a more expensive 2017 Kookaburra please let me know, first come first served, otherwise we will have to wait a few weeks for the replacement and/or refund.

It's just left of centre, in black square (I think)

If anyone was curious as to what a 16,000:1 silver:gold ratio looks like in person...

Thank Mrs BYB - it is military organisation in the BYB household today!

She doesn't even get paid - only in the form of a slap up curry later tonight!

Should make it an (Optional) Curry Charge

Many thanks Mrs BYB!

[BackyardBullion]

Now that is a very neat and tidy pile of silver! 

Thank you Major General Mrs BYB for your military precision!

I see a 2018 panda, my wife will be most happy. That should allow me to add a couple of sovs without comment!

It's a 1g Canadian Maple leaf... Because I figured if I was going to get a maple I'll be damned if I'm going to get one with milk spots 

[Foolssilver]

Happy to take the 2017 Kook if that works BYB. ?

Too right, let me know what you think of the 1g Maple. I too haven't purchased a Maple yet and a 1g might go well with my 1.5g Dos Pesos.

There's a thread in the silver category about MINTSHIELD.

[BackyardBullion]

OK - all done and dusted. 

Mrs BYB and I are now waiting for our very well earned takeaway curry to be delivered and spend a well earned night watching mindless telly!

Your orders will all be shipped tomorrow and should be with you over the course of this week. Those of you who have requested a later postage date - I made special notes so your parcels will go then. 

[BackyardBullion]

The following will also go out as a new thread (to capture other people not following this thread). 

Many of you will be waiting with baited breath for the epic unboxing video coming this weekend from the big group order we recently arranged. It will be coming on Saturday (and Sunday!) but in the meantime I have a very generous (and fun) opportunity for you all to get involved and earn some FREE SILVER!

The European Mint https://www.europeanmint.com/ have very generously offered yet another promotion for their customers (and for group order members too!). They are offering a 1 oz (or 1/2 oz) silver bullion coin as a reward if you make and upload to YouTube, a video showing an unboxing of an order from them (or from me to you as part of the group order). 

For all of you who have just joined in the group order you are also welcome to join in this promotional opportunity - but for you guys it will be a 1/2 oz of silver (as you are unboxing a delivery from me, not directly from the EU Mint). The European Mint is doing this to help raise their visibility on social media and to show the kind of service they can offer (including their extremely good packaging and delivery services). 

There are a few T&C's that will need to be met to qualify for your free silver. We are currently working on the details and will share them here in due course. Nothing too strict - mainly what needs to be in the title of the video and description box etc. I will post all of the T&C's here when they are finished. 

For those of you in the UK I will be acting as judge and jury for these unboxing videos and I will also be distributing the free silver (at no cost to you!). For those outside the UK (this offer is open globally) The European Mint will verify and distribute the free silver. 

There is no minimum requirement for your channel size or amount of views the video gets. Don't be shy if this is your first ever video - in fact we encourage you if this is your first ever video!

Making videos on YouTube is a really fun and rewarding hobby - and whilst you may not be able to monetise your videos easily at the moment, earning an oz of silver is a great way to get started!

If anyone needs a little help or advice on getting started with a YouTube video please let me know. Otherwise please feel free to browse The European Mint's website and place an order to unbox for you free oz of silver!

https://www.europeanmint.com/

If you are part of the group order & have been inspired to make an unboxing video, please give me a heads up so that we (The European Mint and I) can plan how many 1/2 oz coins to put aside for rewards!

Enjoy and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
