How do you think this will work out at RM?

Received my 10oz today. Never knew they where so heavy loool (and small!). Got sent via DHL, I assume thats the case for all?

Same! The 10oz is tiny but so heavy. I can only imagine how heavy the 100oz will be

This is exactly my thinking. I'm more bothered that the packaging on my 10oz is ripped all down one side.

Would you return? or am I being too fussy. This bar has a big premium on top and if just standard bullion I wouldn't mind do much, but its not.

I have ordered a 10 oz together with 3 plastic capsules, hoping that RM would make a JC reinterpretation of 3G in a year or two, and then a Royal Crown...

So, one could stack those for weight but once a year take them out from hiding and just admire them.

I really thought the 10 oz felt heavier than 10x 1 oz. My scales only go up to 200g though...

I've got a slight ding at the top of mine and a small black mark which I know will forever bother me now. Considering complaining too, if it was just bullion they shouldn't have put an additional premium over the regular britannia bar on it imo

I might fling mine on the kitchen scales and see what they say

Ordered near Midnight monday and received today  pretty happy with that speed!

Can't see any major issues with quality, but that is looking through a plastic cover. Anyone know where i can purchase a hard plastic card for the 10 ounce version?

I think atkinsonsbullion.com sells a 1oz 5oz and 10oz case. I remember seeing one earlier 

[Tjhooker]

A speck of something in the case but this will be put away for a long time (or I'll get a case) 

Doesn't take away from her beauty though!

Love mine. They look great next to my Britannias.

Couldn’t agree more. 
I think anyone unhappy should ask for replacement, I reckon RM won’t mind whilst stocks last

Gold and Silver 1 oz arrived today. Pic of the gold attached. Happy with them - quick delivery from the RM as well.   

[Chrisplym]

They look fantastic! I feel that these will be very good investments for the future.

Sent them an email then noticed this dent on both of my 1oz silver bars 😂 not doing too well with mine so far 

[theylivewesleep27]

Mine has loads of c**p behind the plastic, like some kind of grit. Im going to put it in a capsule anyway but not really what youd expect for such a product. Standards seem pretty low.

[yaffle]

I’d talked myself out of stacking any silver at the moment due to VAT and the massive premiums, but very tempted by one of the 1oz silver bars for their collectability...they do look great!

I am also very tempted. However I cant justify the price in my head having paid £200 per 10oz Britannia bar this time last year. I am sure that once the whisky gets flowing on Friday night then I will make an impulse purchase.

I may well end up employing a similar strategy 😂

I've pulled the trigger on 1oz gold bar this morning from RM. Can post a picture when it arrives if anyone is interested.

Yes please!.....And location if possible

[terakris]

I had the 1oz gold arrive today from a member on here and have the 10oz silver arriving tomorrow direct from RM. the premium on the silver smarted a bit, but throw caution to the wind now and again!

These are gorgeous pieces.
Grabbed a couple for myself.
The 10oz silver and 1oz gold are quite slow to move on their website (I started tracking web stock quotas like some others). Do you think there's a correlation in these sales because additional VAT and the decreased certainty of precious metals purchasing for their short to mid term future as opposed to alternative investment methods like bond yields. 
Either way, they are gorgeous. Great alternative to the Britannia at the same £ cost

the gold Una is about £40 more than the Britannia. The 10oz silver was going down however they put another 300-400 into stock. Maybe its the VAT and high price of silver currently. They have sold around 1000 1oz silver bars since monday though
