  1. The day my youngest was born, I wish I had the ammunition at present to buy it. GLWS.
  2. Made it in from from 11800 at about 09.11 and got one (SOTD) in the basket. Bloody checkout wouldn't work with my card, lots of trial and error and despite it being 09.31 I seem to have managed to bag it! Let's hope it shows up... (And doesn't get cancelled!!)
  3. I’d get in touch with them. I was in the same situation, so I contacted them Friday. It turns out the authorisation from my card payment had “dropped off” (as it has taken them so long to get them ready) and no one from the RM had bothered to get in touch with me. I emailed them and they asked me to phone them up to get the payment taken again. Shambles. I felt for bloke on the phone, sounded like he was at his wits end.
  4. Thank you for such a detailed and considered response. I think you hit the nail on the head here: "in terms of desirability and importance yes, 100% its going to be desirable and important forever more. Its a superb design and the first sovereign of a new monarch and we shouldn’t let the madness of release days distract us from the bigger picture." 👏 I'll be thrilled when mine arrives (all being well with the infamous Llantrisant QC!) and can't wait to see it up close... even if I have to squint and imagine that JC included a daff with the other floral symbols! 😝
  5. Yes good point and as there's plenty more to come in 2023 they may be pacing themselves, there'll be plenty of low hanging PR fruit in the run up to the coronation.
  6. Might be still too early to tell whether this release will prove to be a winner or a flop, but as a relative newcomer, one thing I would query is how has the PR/communications campaign for this release been handled compared to previous releases? As someone who works in mar/comms I was surprised about the relatively short lead-time from announcement and the fairly sparse promotion on social media channels. This could be pretty standard so perhaps I'm wide of the mark as I have no professional experience in the marketing of numismatics / RM collectibles. For me, the marketing - whilst clearly reaching its core audience (i.e. TSF) - does seem very low key.
  7. In and out, easy peasy. Only one unavailable I could see on there was the two coin Elizabeth/Charles pair which I think was a 1957.
  8. If anyone uses Perks At Work (cashback programme via your employer) I've just seen that Royal Mint are on there for 3% 'Wowpoints' - thanks for the prompt, I wouldn't have checked otherwise!
  9. Good advice and this will be my mindset attempting to get my annual half on Tuesday.
  10. Haha no indeed, I’ll leave the exclusion of Cymru from British iconography for another thread… 😇
  11. I should hope it's fan art - where's the daffodil/leek?! 😬
  12. Number 37 it was meant to be! I'll drop you a message now. Thanks BYB.
  13. Is this lonely round still available? I was 50/50 when I bought my 1oz'er the other day and now I can see #48 waiting for someone to claim it, I cannot resist!
  14. Hi BYB, these look fantastic, I would love to be added into the ballot for one. Thanks.
  15. Hi BYB, Would you mind adding me to the waiting list? Thanks
  16. Same, received an email this afternoon and my half is due tomorrow.
  17. Just checked my bank and in the same position, glad I've seen this post or I'd have wasted some time on the phone this afternoon!
