Arrived where?

At my house after being minted by the Royal Mint. The UK Royal Mint has followed in the footsteps of Canada by offering a silver coin (just over 1/2 ounce of silver) at face value (20 pounds).

That'd be nice if we knew where you were. Given that there was some discussion about whether they'd honour orders outside the UK and all...

My location is listed in my profile. I live in Southern England.

The Royal Mint is not the only mint who limits products to folks in their country\region.

Apologies. So few people fill in profiles that I long ago stopped looking.

Still no word about whether or not they accepted my order. Did anyone else get an answer one way or another? The website appeared to process it as normal, but I don't think they charged my card.

I noticed a charge on my card on Thursday.

At one time the website said 'Available to UK only', but it doesn't do that anymore. It let me order also.

Oh. Maybe domestic demand was lacklustre?

triplewitch · October 27, 2013, 09:19:43 PM

Or they wanted to give the UK first shot before opening up to others.

triplewitch · October 27, 2013, 10:20:56 PM

Website says over 115,000 sold out of 250,000, so response is pretty tepid so far.
