Hate to break it to you mate, but that silver container on the right looks like it could be fake to me... get your magnet out.

My bits and bobs arrived today :)

The order has been handled superbly. Thanks BYB and Lady BYB for doing this and a nod to European Mint for the way they do business.

First group order: enjoyed it! ?

 

Technically, alcohol is a solution..

'It [socialism] poses a growing threat, however unintentional, to the freedom of this country, for there is no freedom where the State totally controls the economy. Personal freedom and economic freedom are indivisible. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t lose one without losing the other.'

"There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money"

Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.

An SD arrived today that is so carefully packaged it can only be from one place...many thanks! :)

Now, to fiddle around for hours with my rotten (literally now, in the case of the organic components :() 'tripod' or dive straight in (which might be quite painful)..?

Root vegies are a little harder to find at the moment, can we substitute a summer fruit medley?

That sounds entirely appropriate, I heartily approve :) Have you considered the addition of a meringue?

Now, dont forget that you could earn a free 1/2 Oz of silver by filming your unboxing and uploading it to YouTube.

I will link the T&C's later - but in a nutshell, make an unboxing video and upload it and I will post your a free 1/2 Oz of silver.

People who have already made videos from the last group order from the EU mint are not eligible for a second free 1/2 oz.

I received my order today :D thank you! Do you have these T&C's as I am eager to open.

That means we can reclaim postage from BYB like RM SD by 1pm right? :P

You cheeky sods!

Video went live exactly at 1pm on YouTube...

Yet you still expect a hand butler service to share a link here...

I could create a blacklist for group orders you know ;)

I couldn't wait for the meringue to set - I unboxed my box while watching your unboxing vid BYB :) 

I am very happy with the condition of my 2018 Brits compared to the absolute rubbish (tube of Owls, tube of Perth Roos, tube of Perth barcoins - already opened by GS.be) I got last time (not in the group order) as a private customer so I will be using European Mint directly (as BYB has been open about, it's not always cheaper in the group buys if you are buying in a lot) in future for sure and encouraging others to do the same. Much credit to all involved! :)

Yes it's 'just' bullion but it's very much nicer not to receive milked, toned, dinged and marked coins when you spend a fair bit (especially when they have already been 'checked'), and this is the second lot I've had from European that has been good quality :)

So I will join the group buys from European for odd coins again in the future, avoid GS.be full stop (heard of a milked Emu today from them ffs!) if European will price match for me, and I will use my rhubarb crop and meringue for a direct unboxing from them that will get me a free Oz rather than a half from a group unboxing :)

Thank you Mr & Mrs BYB for all your hard work. Package by SD arrived today. Still pondering if I should take photos of unboxing (does that count) as don't have video capability! Hmmm, will wait till tomorrow to open.

Has to be a video I am afraid :-)

Videos can be pretty easy to do, most smartphones can record video, as can most digital cameras. YouTube has online basic editing options

I agree. Unfortunately the only encapsulated coin I got on this order happened to have a few very visible marks on :( It was 'only' a 1oz American Eagle but still a bit annoying. Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess.

I received mine today too.  Thanks again for everyone involved.

Must say I also received the 1 oz poured silver bars and they feel really nice to hold.

 

I purposely purchased the cheaper stuff in the order but not the very cheapest.  Stayed clear of more expensive Perth mint lunars and the like.

Got some 2018 Brits, Oriental Brits, Queens Beasts etc.

Most were unmarked but a few unicorns have some little scratches.  Purchasing at this price and delivered from the mint in those tubes It is to be expected.

The way I look at is.  I can't buy silver this cheap anywhere else and it mainly just bullion.  It is worth having stuff in the stack that I have no attachment to that is easier to sell due to it being closer to spot should the price of silver rise.  That will be the stuff that I'm not keep on or has a small scratches.

Keep the best looking coin for a collection.
