    caf84 got a reaction from TheMadKing in Royal Mint - Great Engravers 2021 - Gothic Crown information   
    I was on RM site for half8, patiently waited, did it all by the book. At 9am I was placed circa 1600 in the queue.
    I wanted the 5oz silver but would have been happy with the 2oz.
    By 9:30 it was obvious I wasn't going to get the 5oz, but I stayed on for the 2oz. I was still around 400 in the queue when people started to say it was a sell out.
    Not my day for silver. 
    I did treat myself to a 1984 sov (birth year). So all things considered, I'll go to bed happy.
    Let's be honest, the fact we are all in the position to even contemplate spending these kinds of sums on coins, means we must doing something right!
    Well done to the lucky ones today. I'll look forward to your photos!

    caf84 got a reaction from kimchi in The Royal Tudor Beasts - Royal Mint Launch Event, Oct 7   
    I hadn't appreciated until this thread started the popularity of the QB BUNCs. Judging solely from ebay, some of the early releases are worth more than their 1oz silver counterpart.
    I'm glad I buy them now!

    caf84 got a reaction from Foster88 in QB vs KB   
    I think I'm in the minority here, but I don't get all the hate that the Panther design is getting - I like it.
    As a series, whilst I don't think the KB/TBs will better the QBs, I still think it will be very popular.
    I'll be pissed if they don't do a 1/4 gold bullion though!

    I think it could be a fun thing to collect, but financially it makes no sense at all.
    Any ideas how many you would need to complete a collection?
