OlliesSilverBars

Two Sterling Silver Bricks from OSB or @Ollie1016. Nicely executed and well packaged. Not sure if I shouldn't keep them myself but he did laser engrave my kids names on them already, so it's a case for the Easter Bunny ?.
There is obviously still the golden brick from @morezone...

Treated myself
 

25 shields, all 1840s. More worn than other years but at the price paid is to be expected. Few nicer ones though and some different variations. 
Haveanother 30 on order so hopefully some rarer overstates etc to come!

Received a 10oz queens beast today. Quite impressed with the design.

I either used the wrong number, or on one bar I had the number horizontal. When you do 1080 stamps in 4 hours you are bound to make a few mistakes!
I'm not sure what you mean about a "recognised mint" The hallmark just means that it has been tested by the Edinburgh Assay Office and they can verify that it is 999 pure silver like I say it is. There are a lot of people who will use a lesser purity than stated so that they can make a little extra, selling 900 silver as 925 etc.
The hallmark adds a great layer of security and authenticity about me as a creator and craftsman.
Don't worry about questions, I like to answer them!

Just to give everyone an update:
The bars are returning from the Edinburgh Assay Office tomorrow and then I have to serialise them and package them!
I would hope to have them in the post on Thursday or Friday so delivery by the weekend!

2nd time is a charm. NGC fixed their mechanical error and put the mexico label on . I also sent in a 2016 libertad ,since NGC was paying for shipping. [emoji2]

2017 1oz maple, buffalo, philarmonica, 30th anniversay brit & kangaroo arrived from atkinsons + 1oz proof unicorn.
Great case, holds 90 capsules + has room for 6 tubes of sovs

Some of my recent purchases. One of my favorite coins a 1.oz platinum 1986 Isle of man noble.Thanks to the help of  @Lindeman in helping me acquire this coin.
Also a 1.oz Year of the Rooster PF 70 and a 10.oz  Queens beast bullion.

 

 



 
 
 

A 1/4 Queen's Beast Lion and Griffin from @GoldBenj (both MS69) and I'm delighted with both of them

I know you were promised next day delivery and they didn't post it in time to make that, but not everyone can do what they say all the time, things happen. Hopefully Lizzie will phone you to explain and they will do something about it.
Don't forget the postal cost will be the same whether it was next day or not, the service will be the same, special I presume.
I'm not sure why you are getting hung up about the next day promise, is it really that important to you or can't you abide any form of imperfection in anyone?
The best way to deal with these things is to address them at source and complain. Go to the top if necessary. Then you will see the measure of a company. Give them a chance to apologise and put it right before you write them off completely and muddy their name on a public forum.

Maybe this can be something for the bars

I reserve 420 if you get there  
Was just looking and there are around 1600 members to the forum so far. Maybe 1200 at most are active logging in once a week are more. The fact that you can sell 150 of these with i guess most people buying 1 is quite an achievement. Just goes to show that quality over quantity of members make all the difference. 

Well I have broken my "sovereigns only" rule for my current stack.
Buying all sovs and just sticking them in tubes may be a sensible approach but it got so boring.
 
Just ordered these 3 up from Baird, at £1000 a coin seems like a bargain :

I am sure if you asked @ChrisSilver and myself nicely you could borrow the silver forum stamp we had made ;-)
Lets see you sell 150 1oz gold silver forum bars 

Actually, I have changed my mind.....I will take 007 in gold.

Thought I'd add a pic of my daughters bar stack, just putting away a delivery from @arshimo2012

i have shown these before but this is a good place to post them again. A few PAMP kilo bars

I've been wanting the 2017 for a while because of the new design.  Luckily I never did buy it and the limited 30th Anniversary Privy was recently released so it made much more sense to get this one instead for the extra few £.  Decided to buy from RMB as it was only £4 more expensive than elsewhere and for that extra I would get a capsule and be entered into the prize draw.  Unlike the Queen's Beasts, the capsule is not the screw type and is just a push fit with a little moon cutout for opening.
Shipped yesterday with a scheduled delivery for Tuesday due to the Bank Holiday.  Delivered today, a Saturday by DHL.
The field design is much better than the dimply effect of the previous couple years.
