UPDATE 5th September 2020

First up, a massive thank you to everyone who was able to take up a bar in 2020 to match their 2019 editions, your continued support of the Backyard Bullion brand and The Silver Forum is greatly appreciated!

The Waiting List is CLOSED

We have formally closed the waiting list and have randomly drawn the order of preference for allocation of bars. 

With nearly 200 people on the waiting list and only 76 bars to allocate out there will be some people that are left out and disappointed - For this we are sorry but there are only so many of these that we can and want to make. There are more Silver Forum Branded pieces coming out later this year and we have plans for more in 2021!

You will be contacted if you have been allocated a bar

I have already sent out messages to all the members that have been allocated a bar. 

Those members have 1 week to reply and confirm they want to take up their allocation. 

Should anyone decline the offer to purchase or not reply within 1 week we will work our way down the list of people. 

So if you have NOT received a message from me yet you might still be in with a chance. 

Serial Number reservations

We will be opening up a thread on Saturday 12th September at 7pm UK time for a first come first served reservation list of available numbers. 

To be able to bid on that thread for a specific number you will need to have been a) Allocated a bar and b) paid for it! 

We will be tagging all members eligible to bid on that thread when the time comes. 

That is it for now!

A big thank you once again for all of the support and we will share more updates when we can!

Yeah, sorry you got me all confused as this is the wrong thread for number reservation. You have a bar allocated.

Both those numbers are taken though.

Choose a new number from this thread:

UPDATE 14th September 2020

Today is the big day - the vast majority of bars have been shipped now!

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone on and off the forum who has supported these bars this year. 

Demand was unprecedented. We had so many people wanting to purchase bars and for those that missed out on an allocation I am very sorry to cause disappointment. There is always next year!

I also want to say a big thank you to @ChrisSilver for the continued opportunity to work with the forum on producing these pieces. 

A few fun facts about the bars

To finish up this thread, here are some fun facts about this release. 

1) We have given away nearly 15 ozt of free silver in our bars this year - extra weight above 100 grams! The heaviest bar was about 106 grams. Most fell into the average of 103 grams. 

 

2) The silver used to make these bars travelled quite a lot of miles:

a) Started in a Canadian Hillside (location unknown) 

b) Refined by the Royal Canadian Mint

c) Shipped to Estonia (4000 miles) 

d) Shipped to the UK (1200 miles)

e) Poured by me

f) Shipped to Edinburgh (400 miles)

g) Shipped from Edinburgh to me (400 miles)

h) Shipped from me to you 

So each bar has a minimum of 6000 miles travel attached to them across two continents!

 

3) We have sent bars to every major continent!

We have customers in Europe, North America (including Hawaii!), Asia, Australia, Egypt and one single bar making its way to Brazil!

 

4) I used 72,000 square centimetres of brown wrapping paper for my parcels. 

 

5) 120 meters of brown sticky paper

 

6) I made 1350 individual stamps on these bars

 

7) I burnt through 12 graphite crucibles making them!

 

Just some of the fun things that I can think of!
