Remember way back during early days of the first in the series Una & Lion, it took the 2oz graded PF70 silver to sell at the platinum night big auction, cant remember if it was Heritage or Stacks auction sale in the USA and it got bid up over $10,000+ then the rest is history after that, then everyone seems to want one and happy to bid them up to get one. 

The initial re-issue of the Una & Lion was lukewarm reception at best, wasn't an instant sell out , and could be easily purchased 20z silver raw from feebay in the month or so after release.  

this it was H and B who had them on sale for £180 too a week or so for them to sell out.      i remember at the time not going for it because of the royal mints milk spotting issues.         Read the first few pages of the una and lion thread and this is a quote

Just buy 14 Sovereigns and hold them for ten years and then sell them. Probably get a similar profit.

They are, I was told this a few days ago by a manager in customer services at RM.

They are waiting for the foam to modify the boxes so that the capsules can’t open in transit.

any reason that we just cant take a trip to wales and pick them up?       i still think  its fishy. the 5 coin sets come with a cloth between the 2 banks of coins and saw a picture somewhere (i think on the forum) that chards put a line of bubble wrap to stop this happening  doing this would save time and get them out

Have you paid your tax bill.  

Big one January and I haven’t flipped any yet😂😂

Anyone else that missed the first dispatch of the GC worried that their coins will be cancelled.   Multiple members here have been sent 2 to the same address by mistake have they cocked up AGAIN? 

My take on the ‘unexpected delay’ which maybe right maybe not.    The royal mint sent sets for grading and they have been delayed coming back. Else why so many on the population so quickly. The ones what will be sent out won’t have made  PF70 but will be better than PF68.    They have said in the past that coins will be better than 68 else they will be replaced so now they know they are.      Why would the royal mint state the American grading system rather than the British if this wasn’t the case?

What I don’t get is, the royal mint are selling a coin for a fraction of the resale value, I know it’s hype but if they doubled the mintage they would double the turnover.    They are costing the company money by limiting mintage’s     This would take the flippers out and the genuine collectors would carry on collecting.   I admire @Frenchie and @Paul for holding on to the Una when most would sell and now it’s paying off for them as the royal mint have done a good job and making sure they can get the whole collection.    Just wish they did the same with the 2oz and 5oz silver.

I imagine it's in case of any drastic movement in gold spot. Presumably they use special delivery so taking that off to level the price it's already at ~6% under spot. If spot hangs around where it is they'll probably leave it until they've exhausted their allocation for their loss leader deal.

I work it out to be about spot unless you’re taking postage into it

Am I they only one but I’m not that keen on the design. May look better in hand.    I think this would be better.  Who designed it?

try this link https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-great-engravers/gothic-crown/gothic-crown-quartered-arms-and-portrait-2oz-silver-proof/

thank you,     i got in my normal way,     had the gold in basket then i was on the bullion side and i think it has blocked me from buying anything so when set up a new account it went through ok

If you live in the UK and it's UK currency then it's CGT free. 

Income tax.   If selling to flip its dealing and nothing to do with CGT

Difference between dealers and flippers is that dealers pay their taxes on their profits from coin sales!!!

Is it a private mint?    1,5 euro seems a very low amount on a 1oz gold coin 

@ChardsCoinandBullionDealer @LawrenceChard I see that the price for the 5 coin set has now gone up on your site.      Have you sold any at this price or is that what it will be when/if they come available again?

ebay black friday promo, a sov from BBP is expensive at 365, however with 15k nectar points worth £75 in many places its now a great deal:) ends 1pm - you need to activate first. it will say "you will collect 15000 nectar points" so make sure you have activated to avoid disappointment (can activate on main page)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313605729387?hash=item49045bac6b%3Ag%3ArHcAAOSw~qtg8Z6l&LH_BIN=1

(this works on anything but a sov from a trusted seller is a good bet!)

Wasn’t it max 300 points/transaction?

Thanks for your responses. I would be very surprised if it were fake, both  because the details to me appear genuine, and as you say I'd expect things from LCC to be genuine with 26k feedback etc.

I have of course offered a refund to the buyer but I think I will maybe approach LCC to see what their opinoin would be 

😂😂😂 you might see why they got so much stick a few years ago.           Could have got some new reps now so might be better now

Should be legit from the London coin company.       Haven’t heard about them for years but about 5 years ago they didn’t have the best reputation on here

Where did you buy the coin from in the first place?    The slab doesn’t look like most pcgs slabs

Don’t do much on Facebook or eBay but what are the sale prices for the flippers looking like?

Imagine if they do a 5 coin bullion set to match the proof set.     Hope royal mint are reading this

Anyone that ordered before 9 had their deliveries yet?

Anyone else get top cash back?       For some reason they and paid cash pack on the price that it would be if VAT was added to the coin

its 700 mintage

That’s the set but doesn’t clarify max mintage 

Any one else notice that they have the mintage figures for the coins on the web page but they don’t for the 5 sovereign.    Anyone think this is an oversight or will they sneak another release
