Not had confirmation yet - we will not be ordering them unless I get that confirmation so if you want some it will have to wait until then (if it is even possible).

Will they price match Bird of Paradise?

I have seen this question but not answer.

Do you know, or can check with them pleas.

Is the 10oz qb Griffin and dragon looking like it would be a good buy?

Works out to around £14.20 an ounce. You can get generic coins (maples etc) a tad cheaper, but they have nowhere near the premium potential that these QB's do. And they're nowhere near as good looking. So it's a yes from me!

Here here, love me the 10 oz beasts.

Not sure if we will see the same 50% premiums as the 2 oz versions but you can't go much wrong at this price.

Do we know if these 10oz come with capsules?

Yes they do

We are already at about 150 oz and this is the first of 5 weekends! I think a new record is imminent for this order!

There is some small text on the item listing saying not ready for shipping until early September which is too late for this order.

I am awaiting confirmation.

[caloundracats]

oh, shows you should always read the small print!

[BackyardBullion]

@dancavendish @caloundracats

No go on the Krugerrands - too much risk of delay.

Update on a few other things as well.

This weekend we can do a discount on the Trafalgar Square lion to €20 each. Cannot fully price match GS.be on these.

1/10 Oz platinum. 10 available - we can order more intime for the delivery but it has to be this weekend. If you want some let me know ASAP.

1oz platinum maple leaf - price match offered. EU mint does not have the variety of PT coins but can price match the cheapest maple.

Read the first post, pretty much everything you need to know is in there, but if you have further questions BYB will sort you out

@BackyardBullion if I order half a tube of Brits will I get half a tube, and if so which half?

@BackyardBullion I want to buy around two dozen individual DIFFERENT new bullion coins - to have nice things to look at in a ring binder - so they need to be in good condition.

Are you saying that GS.be should be avoided for that kind of purchase due to poor handling / customer service?  Because their prices can't be beaten as far as I can see.

Do you recommend that I join in with your order?

thx

I would say that the condition standards from EU mint is exceptionally good. I would never presume to guarantee perfection but they have done a great job to date on the quality of their coins.

I would recommend some perth mint coins - kookaburras and koalas. Relatively cheap but always spotless (literally). The kangaroos on the other hand...

Why is that if they're produced by the same mint?  I know the Canadian coins have milk spot issues, do some of the Australian coins have the same? Ta.
