The queue is much slower than pistrucci as well, I was in by now and that queue moved really quickly I'm at 659 now in the queue. Like people were in and out getting what they wanted, this release looks like they have done a Ronaldo bust.

I beg to differ, I went to check on my account for the pistrucci order. I have no interest in george Michael and I started at 721 in the queue. I don't want to buy this coin yet I get put in a queue.

We can only wait and see then. Hopefully those who have ordered from the mint get a message in the morning tomorrow or sometime throughout the week their coin has been dispatched. Can't wait to get my 2 x 2oz silver coins in hand. I'm going to keep one ungraded to be able to see the edge lettering.

Is that for raw, graded pf69 or PF70?

Today I received a 2023 royal cypher silver six pence, no photos at the moment but I had it under zoom and there is no milk spots (yet) and in perfect condition which is a first.

It's ebay though, last day, last hour last minute, last second sniper bids are what they are all waiting for.

I know some dealers looking to get hold of 2oz gold for customers that are wanting to buy them, there is a demand but it depends on what the supply is and what people who have already bought them are wanting to do with them, hold long term or sell for a quick profit. It seems alot are wanting to hold but some are willing to sell but not many.

Flip off the flippers who gonna flip with a flip.

I have very little RM silver that hasn't been covered in milk spots. My 2oz una had milk, 2013 st george had milk twice out of three, Petition and gothics had milk, I haven't had much silver past the year 2000 that hasn't milked and each year it gets worse.

£9.5k

I think a Guinness might be a better option to buy than the long wait. Imagine all those milk spots that will start to appear in the tike it takes for them to arrive, I'm pretty much expecting milk spots on both of my 2oz silver GE including the one that is going direct to the graders from the mint AM. Post above was referring to this quote.

Hard pass, not a fan even though I was born in the 80's. Music legends will be worth less than RRP as I expect and you might as well buy bullion. Highly recommended for the flippers to lose their money and hurt their bank accounts.

That is a long wait for delivery. Buy now, then the company will have to wait for these coins to arrive in HK where LPM is based and then wait for them to be dispatched from HK to you, plus the added bonus of VAT on arrival.

And it took less than a week to do so.

PCGS might be the way to go if you want to see the edge lettering until ngc come up with a way to show 2oz GE edges especially for the plain edge gold, Petition crown and this latest release edge lettering otherwise its going to be the same old problem of bring hidden by the coin holder within the slab.

Dud you get any GE gold or silver coin be it una or this coin?

Surely the original Una and the lion was once a modern contemporary piece even though it wasn't a tribute. It was sold to special customers of the mint be it in silver or gold. The only difference is time, the una has had almost 200 years to get to where it is today along with the gothic crown or the three graces though other 2 coins not quite as long but still these also were sold nice, shiny and new like the modern GE series. Given time (more than our own life times) as we hand them down to future generations if we are serious collectors these will still appreciate in the long term, maybe not as much as a modern Una and the Lion already has. However to say these are copies would be wrong, I would say that EIC Una, Gothic and 3 Graces are copies. They are not produced by the national mint, they are not UK legal tender and instead licenced as alderney with effigies of the king or Queen that aren't featured on national currency, the series is probably more desirable than the alderney/EIC copies. So while these are reproductions, it has been well known for many modern reproductions to do just as well as the original counterpart like the Lamborghini Countach and it's modern reproduction which was released in relatively small numbers. It gives collectors who can't necessarily afford an original the chance to have that piece of history to pass on. Plus people wouldn't buy it if it were just a cheap copy that wouldn't be worth collecting knowing in the future it might grow in value, plus we continue to buy sovereigns year after year with the same design year after year yet I don't think many will care as long as we get the quality we want even though we know deep down only a few people might get a top grade 70 quality coin while the rest will have some sort of defect or milk spot. Not every gothic either has a Cameo on it yet people will pay good money regardless to have one. Yes the true collector would probably prefer an original piece if Numismatics than a modern piece but even as I said the original una, gothic, 3 graces and St george coins were nice, shiny modern stuff that we buy today.

The chasm of the clams 🤣🤣

Who dare you even suggest spending that kind of money on tat like that.

I was told by a dealer that it was going to be 2-3 weeks from launch date before orders start to ship.

The rest of my cash is going to ngc grading fees and a AUNC-UNC 1820 Crown which i have reserved and is holding until my payday in a couple of weeks time. I will probably just buy a 2024 sovereign if I want a gold one.

Im hoping they sell out soon, I bought a second for keeps even though it was from the mint the first from a dealer. I'm inclined to tell a friend who wants a modern GE to get one.

Its called milking your consumer base for all they have. James Bond was also cheaper for the same weight compared to GE series. Not that you are getting a different quality silver, it will milk spot no matter what as its the same silver. You are probably paying a little bit more as well for the box, but RM seems to be charging alot for their boxes today.

2022 Piedfort Plain Edge Quarter Sovereign only 70 of esch size from Quarter Sovereign to 5 Sovereign piece. I would like to get a Half plain edge piedfort as well.

Anyone, I mean it, anyone who charges more for a PF70 FR label over a regular PF70 label needs to be HD&Q'd when there is really no difference. Just because you get it to a grader within a time period compared to others so you can slap a massive premium (and US dealers do this alot) on a coin that if another coin of the same year, type, design etc deserves to be strung up. I don't pay extra for FR coins on pre graded coins and no one should. A dealer has the right to cover the cost of the FR bit stated on the label ok, to cover costs plus a few percent. But if you are going to charge hundreds of dollars or pounds more for FR over regular label at the same grade, that dealer should be shamed. IMHO
