**July/August 2018** Group order from The European Mint

[caloundracats]

Give the poor man a break. We're running BYB off his feet already. Let him catch his breath first.

Then................... we can order big time

Queens beast coins have stolen the show. Not had much experience with many bullion coins but Royal Mint Queens Beasts series must be the best minted design every produced by a government mint anywhere. Video as always very well done BYB 👍.

Thanks, just felt like a little ditty to show all our appreciation for all the work that goes into a group order, and that darn sturdy table.

I'll bet that table will crack in an instant if we all order bloody krugerrands!

Love the vids. So amazing seeing it all laid out like that!

While expertly (and eloquently as ever!) done, I felt there was a rush to unpack the whole lot in the first video. I know BYB is very much under the cosh on this and feels the pressure, but I'd prefer it if more time was taken and everything handled a bit more carefully. Should have been two videos imho

Yeah though equally I can understand the desire to want to get it done and out of the house ASAP. I would be paranoid AF with that lot sat on my kitchen table - and not just because I doubt my kitchen table could hold it 🤣

Not enough time unfortunately. We were up against it big time. And as @AppleZippoandMetronome getting into the Post Office "secure vaults" for the weekend was an absolute must. Certainly a lot safer than sitting on my kitchen table all weekend!

Feedback is always welcome and credit where credit is due, this was not my best work by any means.

Maybe they didn’t see the second video?  @BackyardBullion

I thought your comparison to a Gold kilo bar was great. Really sends home size.

 

if I may ask, with a stash that big, it would be good to have the camera pan a little to see all angle (obv while still hiding the rest of the kitchen lol)

 

 

oooo oooo ooo the child in me just had a great idea.... can you make a silver tower!!!! 😂😂. Can you see how high 2700 can go before it falls over.

(such. A . Child! Grow up Pritchard)

Difficult to pan away from the stack and not show the rest of my kitchen etc. Just not easy to do. Who ever would have planned to have so much silver that it was impossible to show it all on one table!

Loving the idea of the tower of silver, but that falling over would literally kill me or one of the dogs!

By getting it in to the post office, you mean everything has been sent for shipping already??!  If so, wow! Drink one from me! (if not, also do)

We missed the post for the weekend, just too many parcels to process. But the post office (my local one is incredible) took them and processed them such that they are then ready to go Monday morning and are safely locked away in their vault. Makes me sleep a lot better at night!

Meaning everything is sorted, checked, wrapped, packed, written, closed, Etc. That is one fine and big job you did there in a few days! Kudos to the BYB!

We were up until about 2am 😉

In and out the door in less than 24 hours.

All that for the price of a few poppadoms!!!

I noticed in the video you said there was a few problems but Euro mint is aware of it but you didn't say anything more. What happened?

 

[Abyss]

Hi Mark,

5x Saltwater Crocodile silver coins I ordered as part of the group order that were missing and the European mint will be posting these directly to me. That the only problem that I am aware of (plus delivery had to come by land due to it size added to some delays).

[Tn21]

Just got in to find my part of the group order. Many thanks goes out to BYB and Mrs BYB. Packaging is really neat and secure. 

 

Thank you guys ! ! !

 

[Steviesteve]

My packages arrived Monday morning, really speedy delivery. Everything in order and expertly packaged.  Many thanks to byb.

I received my Box today, pretty heavy and wrapped like a xmas present, box was badly dented from a fall but it was so well packed nothing was damaged, packed with care, Thanks again to you and mrs ByB.

I am glad that nothing was damaged, this is why we take as much care as we do, the Royal Mail are sometimes not great!
