    I believe that Tuvalu  issue the "Marvel Series" from 2018 to 2021
    Not sure if Marvel Classics is the 2nd series or just a part of Marvel Collection.

    Hi @bean182
    I believe I have TSF 1oz bars 006 from 2020 and 2021.
    The CoAs are here, along with the bars, but sorry the light is not good enough for my old eyes to double check the actual stamping on the bar as the sun sets!
    I probably have 2019 and (less likely) 2018, but I haven't been able to get to where my bars for those years are stored yet to check.
    What happened I think is that I was lucky enough to pick up numbers 5 and 6 (and some others) a year or two after release. I chose to sell 5 and some other numbers in 2020 because I needed the money at the time. Last year I wasn't able to take up my bars, so I guess you were lucky enough to get the very first number available, great luck!
    I should say I am not particularly inclined to sell these years at the moment, but you are welcome to PM me if you'd like to discuss things

    kimchi reacted to BackyardBullion in 1 oz Silver Forum Bars (2023) - Officially Released!   
    Hello everyone. @ChrisSIlver and I are very happy to announce the official release of the 2023 1 oz Silver Forum Bars!
    There is a lot of information to disseminate so please bear with us, some of this might be relevant to different people. I have broken this post up into different sections for ease of reading. 
    If you have any questions please feel free to ask here on this thread or via PM. 
    First, here are some glamour shots of the 2023 1 oz forum bars!

    Changes for 2023 
    2023 Sees one design change. The serial number of each bar has been changed to 001/250. Previously this had been "No. 001" and we believe the inclusion of the total mintage on the bar itself adds value to the limited feel and nature of these bars. 
    The Year Date letter has also changed as is does every year, this year "y" is the year date for 2023. 
    We think these are by far and away the best iterations of the 1 oz forum bars to date and I am very honoured and privileged to continue to work with @ChrisSilver, The Silver Forum and ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL MEMBERS out there!
    What are The Silver Forum Bars all about?
    The Silver Forum hand poured products (in all their sizes) have been created as a way to draw the silver forum community together but also as a fundraising and brand awareness raising exercise. Some of the proceeds from the sales goes directly to the forum and helps greatly with running costs and keeping the forum the way we have become accustomed to. Silver Premium, Gold Premium and Platinum Premium and now platinum plus memberships go a long way to helping the running of the forum and to help keep the membership prices as low as practical, The Silver Forum Bars we make help a lot too. 
    In addition you are supporting the Backyard Bullion brand and poured silver from us. This is our 7th year producing hand poured silver for the silver forum and it is because of the support we get from members on and off the silver forum that keeps us doing what we do and striving to do better every year. 
    These bars are all hand poured, stamped and finished by myself meaning each and every bar is unique in some way. The weights will vary bar to bar (although none less than 1 ozt) and the cooling patterns of the silver will also be unique and different for each one. 
    These bars are ready to be shipped immediately.
    The bars are all finished and can be dispatched as early as the end of this week.
    Hallmarking
    As with all of my Hand Poured Silver products these bars have been Assay Tested and Hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office. 
    Hallmarking is a very good addition to any poured silver. It is your guarantee that these bars are indeed 999 fine silver and made by me in 2023.
    Mintage
    The mintage for 2023 will be: 250 bars
    Previous years we had mintages were:
    2022: 250
    2021: 250
    2020: 200
    2019: 200
    2018: 200
    2017: 200
    As with previous years members with bars from a preceding year have first right of refusal at the same serial number in the current year. 
    Serial Number reservations & previous bar ownership
    Questions regarding serial numbers and securing a bar are the most commonly asked questions I get. 
    The rule of thumb has been and always will be if you own the previous years serial number you have first right of refusal for taking up the bar in 2023. 
    For new members or people without a 2022 bar this might seem like you have no chance of getting one - there will always be people who do not/cannot take up their 2022 bars and as such there is always a batch of bars available for new members.
    Please comment on this thread or private message me to get your name on the waiting list for a 2023 bar if you do not have one for 2022
    Deadlines to secure bars
    To claim your existing serial number and bar (if you own a 2022 bar) please contact me and confirm (and pay) before the end of Sunday 21st May 2023. After this date we will not be able to guarantee your purchase and will offer these serial numbers out to members on the waiting list. 
    Waiting list for new members/owners
    If you would like to purchase a bar past experience has showed me that there will be a lot of demand. As such, we will be operating a waiting list which will ultimately end up in a random lottery to see if members will be allocated a bar. It is the fairest way to do this. 
    We will be restricting this waiting list to 1 bar per member to start with to ensure as many different people get access to a bar as possible. 
    To be placed on the waiting list, please comment on this thread and we will make sure you are added. 
    We will not be contacting people on the waiting list until the first week of June to collect payment and distribute bars. 
    Pricing and shipping details
    Prices are as follows for the different Silver Forum membership levels
    Standard or Non member price - £36 per bar
    Silver member price - £35 per bar
    Gold member price - £34 per bar
    Platinum Member price - £33 per bar
    Platinum Plus/Forum Sponsor/Business member price - £32 per bar
    UK Postage & Packaging: +£3.50 via Royal Mail Signed for delivery or £8 Special Delivery
    FREE POSTAGE on any orders from members with 3 or more bars (UK only) 
    International postage: +£15 tracked and insured or £5 for standard airmail
    How to buy & What to do
    If you have a 2022 bar, get in touch and I will give you your total and away we go!
    If you DO NOT have a 2022 bar, put your name on the waiting list!
    A few notes on pricing
    These bars are not cheap bullion. They are not advertised or sold as investment products but as unique collectable items.
    Some of the proceeds from the sales of these bars goes directly to The Silver Forum and keeps it as cheap to use for all of us as possible
    Every bar is UNIQUE. These bars are hand poured, hand stamped and polished by me. They take a lot of time and energy and equipment to create. These are premium hand poured silver products, not cheap bullion. They are a way to support the Backyard Bullion business, my brand and most importantly, The Silver Forum. As I said earlier, proceeds from the sale of these bars go towards the upkeep and running costs of this forum. This helps keep membership prices as low as possible for premium and gold premium members and ensures that standard members can still use this forum for free. 
    The price also incorporates the Hallmarking costs, this includes postage of these bars to and from Edinburgh and the application of the hallmark.
    Standard members - The difference in price is as a way for you to support the forum in a one off style payment rather than signing up for membership. But also please feel free to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts available. 
    Forum membership and pricing 
    As you can see there are some very good savings to be had for upgrading your membership - so take a look at all of the benefits that are available for Premium Members today!
     
     
    Payment Information
    We can accept payment via PayPal, Banks Transfer or Credit/Debit card (Phone call will be required to complete the transaction)
    If you would like to order a bar please PM or reply to this thread and we can link up with payment information.

    All three of my replacement premium proof sets are going back again. They are absolutely shocking - various dents, foggy smears, tiny hairs and other small objects struck into the coins, and this... 
    I can't even built a single full set of good coins between them.
