When I’ve bought from them in the past they just send it signed for….

Seems a bit of a risk but in fairness I've made an assumption about the post and not seen the method quoted...

[MonkeysUncle]

They may have an insurance policy that covers loss in transit or may risk it "self insurance".

[chrisdobb]

Will the coins actually materialise or will they just cancel and refund?

[matt1r]

The only time I’ve ever know them to cancel is if you take the p and order about 5 to the same household, no doubt you will receive them.

Ah the glorious old days when they had a 3 per household limit but didn't pick up the fact that multiple people from the same household (or even the same person making a second, third, etc account) were ordering 'quite a few' sets of 3. I think the record on here was either 15 or 18 coins.

Thanks for sharing the link.  The deal is still up there, and I'm in.  I was always going to buy a 2022 bullion sovereign and £319 is better than I was expecting.  Bought from H&B in 2019 and 2020 and still get the shiny spam.  Have only ever bought current year bullion sovs from them though.

As other have said, thanks for sharing the link. Missed the proofs to flippers as usual! This will be a fine consolation prize especially if it arrives under spot in January 😀

Actually considering the total mintage of the proof sets and single/half sovereigns I'd say there's very little being flipped,and add to that...a full sovereign can still be had for £650ish on here,even the half proofs can be had for under £350 so not extortionate in any sense if still wanting one.

They were also on sale for a full day before they were all gone.

That's a great deal, think I will have to sign up to this

Everyone on TSF should order one. It is the usual loss-leader.

I have covered this subject before on TSF.

Best do it online, it will save half an hour of attempted upselling, bait and switch.

If you do it by phone, it would be interesting to hear what they tell you.

The reverse design shown by H and B is not guaranteed to be the actual one, so far as I know. Chards are very circumspect about this. And there is no mention of this offer on the H and B website.

The 2022 is going to be the same as the proof.

I have posted this elsewhere on TSF already.

Hopefully, it also says so on the @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer website.

I disagree. Ever since the start of the great engravers it has been much worse and 2019 was the last year I was able to easily procure RM proof coins. Many dealers now offer pf70s before the actual release of the coin. Saw significantly more flipping here and on ebay compared to previous years. But at least I get to enjoy the design for close to spot.

Semantics, a preorder is offering for sale. My point is I personally find it a shame that dealers have enough early entry to the RM proof market that they are taking money on PF70s before a single coin is in their hands. Its not about the collector as much as it used to be. My opinion, not necessarily yours.

One thing I really like about you Lawrence is that you never repeat yourself old boy, you never repeat yourself

[dicker]

There is a very simple way to never get another sales call again and be blacklisted by any organisation.  It’s very simple - I won’t put here as it’s not decent.
