My hypothesis is that they put that sticker on the box so they could remember which one contains the Sovereign

Are you trying to convince everyone to open their surprise before Christmas?

[Ashes]

Had the dispatch email last week but mine still shows on Royal Mail tracking as ‘Sender preparing item’. Hopefully this means they have saved the best for last! 😅

[paulmerton]

Oh no

Such suspense!

Yours must be one of the heavy ones 😂

[Darr3nG]

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   

[TeaTime]

It's beginning to feel a lot like Silvermas......

No email for me so hopefully mine is on it's way 😁

[Slam]

I don't mind waiting as long as there is a proof sovereign in mine 😁🤣. Good Luck everyone.

What is everyones thoughts on whats inside the box? Part of me wants to thinks when opening the box a musical will start to play and a popup of mr chards doll will pop up and do a twirl. lol

Wishing you all a good one.

[dikefalos]

Fingers crossed it's no multicolored winter Speedos or William and Kate coins🤞

I got mine this morning. Just opened it!! Will be auctioning the contents for charity with more news to follow. The box did NOT contain a sovereign. But there were LOADS of goodies and I am hugely surprised that there was so much variety!! Sign me up for next year @LawrenceChard and @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer!!!

Watch the sales thread for news of the Christmas Charity auction!!!

[Chrispringle85]

My box as arrived but the fun stopper aka Mrs Chrispringle85 as said I'm not allowed to open it till Xmas day as she bought it me as a gift. 

What do I do? Check myself into the dog house for the next 2 weeks and open it or be a good boy and wait 😭😭

Open it, reseal it, and act surprised! 

[paulmerton]

Surely someone is going to open theirs and show us the goodies?

I think it would be allowed. Think of it as a distributed advent calendar of sorts  

[AndrewSL76]

Here is what I got in my mystery box then!

I am keeping the Chard’s promo stuff. Why wouldn’t I?!

But up for charity auction later today will be the:

1. George VI Sixpence (1944)

2. Pack of ‘Britain’s First Decimal Coins’

3. Silver Proof Second Birthday of Prince George (2015)

4. Wallace and Gromit Silver Proof (colourised) 50p (2019)

5. 1oz Silver Kook (2022)

6. Piedfort Silver Proof Libraries 50p (2000)

Oh that's really quite a nice mixture. Thanks for sharing the excitement!

[Chrispringle85]

Dog house it is for me after opening it. no sovereign but very happy with my haul. Thanks @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer

[iacabu]

Seems to be very similar items in all then. I made a very impromptu unboxing video on Monday after I collected it, hence why it's not the best.

As I'm sure you can tell, it's actually the first unboxing vid I've ever done

 

[paulmerton]

Hang on a minute, I think I must have eaten the wrong coin?!  

[TeaTime]

Hmmm - looks like we have all got the same sort of stuff. In fact mine was identical to lacabu's.....

I think it was worth the punt just for the excitement of the chance at the proof sovereign. And you can never have too many 'first decimal coins' packs 🤨

Mine was similar to Iacabu’s, except the chocolate lasted for less time than his video.  I was surprised at the variety, and I could give some of it to my great nephew to see if he gets the bug.  Collecting old tanners should be within his budget.

Looks like it. Oh well, still reasonably pleased with it, as I was going to be buying that book anyway and I was also on the lookout for any piedfort 50p.

[TeaTime]

Oddly i was also going to get the book and am also looking at buying piedforts at the moment. Spooky.

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)???
