Hello everyone!
I mentioned earlier in the year about creating some 250g Silver Forum Bars to compliment the 1oz and 100g Bars.
I have completed my prototype bar and here it is!
These bars are really chunky and have a great feel to them. They have the Silver Forum logo on them as well as "250g", 2018 and of course the all important Hallmark from the Edinburgh Assay Office. They will also have their serial numbers stamped on the side of the bar.
I am now taking pre-orders for these bars. If you would like to have one of these bars made then please let me know by emailing me: byb@backyardbullion.com
Or, you can message me directly via the silver forum. Here is the original thread I created on these bars
http://thesilverforum.com/topic/12418-250g-silver-forum-bars-2018-pre-orders-open/
These bars will be minted to order throughout the year up to a maximum of 25. Currently we have got 17 bars reserved in pre-order.
In terms of reserving specific serial numbers it will be on a first come first served basis. If you would like a specific serial number then please let me know - if more than one person wants the same number we can try and work it out together or simply do a coin toss.
At the moment the lowest serial number available is #16
Pre-orders, production and delivery
As I mentioned above I will be making these bars throughout the course of 2018. The first big batch will be finished by mid March and delivered by mid/late March. Remaining bars in the mintage will be made throughout the year.
If you would like to order these bars then I would ask for a minimum of 50% deposit to be paid to secure your bar(s). Feel free to pay the full balance - but I would require at least a 50% deposit.
Prices are set as follows

A few notes on pricing
These bars are hand poured, hand stamped and polished by me. They take a lot of time and energy and equipment to create. These are premium hand poured silver products, not cheap bullion. They are a way to support me (as a fledgling business), my brand and the Silver Forum. Proceeds from the sale of these bars go towards the upkeep and running costs of this forum. This helps keep membership prices as low as possible for premium and gold premium members and ensures that standard members can still use this forum for free.
Standard members - The difference in price is as a way for you to support the forum in a one off style payment rather than signing up for membership. But also please feel free to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts available.
The price also incorporates the Hallmarking costs, this includes postage of these bars to and from Edinburgh and the application of a large hallmark.
Speaking of which here is a closeup of the hallmark:
I welcome all feedback and any questions you might have about these bars.
