The Alderneys were £460 for the set. The Mint are releasing over two dates. I’m going to say the price for the 2oz will be c.£255 (as per 3G) for the coins individually so you’re right on the mark re £500 ish.

No disrespect to the Alderney mint but they are not in the same class as the RM..Although I've been told different!!!!

The prices are likely to be similar to the Three Graces. You’d be looking at around £255.00 for the 2oz, £600.00 for the 5oz (can’t remember what it cost!) and £1,020.00 for the 10oz. All silver prices of course. The 2oz gold will be about £5-6k and then £11kish for the 10oz. Double the prices by two for the set, though! 

Oh, and the 10oz is a piedfort of the 5oz. If you want the bin lids you need to buy the Kilo!

Not keen on the 10oz..liquidity wise and of course months later it will probably go down in price..

But if they release 2 coins could be looking at the £500 mark..Guess it's a wait n see....🤔🤔🤔🤔

What prices are we expecting for the gothic crown on the 6th Dec?

That's anyone's guess..hoping under £500 for the 2oz silver but could be totally wrong.....

Are we 100% sure this is not launching tomorrow? The RM email said 'very soon' end of last week

Who knows....but I'm getting up at 08:30 and logging in to the RM......just in case..😁😁

I would imagine the Platinum jubilee 50p cupronickel will go into circulation as standard..I hope they release a Platinum 50p....not sure if I would buy it but would be appropriate for this jubilee.

Maybe this modest design was intentional? To give extra significance to the obverse...

I wonder why they havnt shown the obverse? Maybe it's going to be something very different??

Minting techonlogy?............If this is representative of Alderney Islands Matt minting technology then they are utter light years in front for the Royal Mint, you are speaking with someone who's retuned more Matte SOTD Sovereigns than I've kept due to very poor quality. 

OK.. know offence meant.. 🥴🥴🥴

Silver Matte Proof Gothic Crowns. I tried my luck, cause i never had almost white coins. They look amazing in hand. 

I do like them and would like to have them in my collection.....but with respect,,,they just don't have the WOW factor that I believe the RM will produce with their minting technology. 

Regards

I personally take the view when a new release comes out from the RM  and I'm lucky to get it in my cart after a WAIT,Get to the checkout stage and get a confirmation of purchase...am happy and don't care how long it takes to receive my purchase...know point getting stressed,annoyed that I havnt recd it in the first week..when it comes it comes...that's the time to get a little stressed opening the box and praying it's going to be in the condition we expect without any problems.... the 6th December when the Gothic Crown is released (if that's the official date) we will all be going through the same stress as we have with the 2022 platinum jubilee gold sovereign coins sets etc....and so the threads/comments/disappointment will start all over again....my advice is...log on,hopefully you will be lucky to get what you want and relax until it arrives..hopefully a problem free coin..if not satisfied,return and get a new coin or refund....but we all know buying any Bullion or proof is a bit of a gamble from the RM...

Some of us will be lucky and some not with the condition...it just a waiting game and I trust we will all be satisfied with our purchases..be a nice change for all of us who are lucky enough to obtain our coins from them to be in A1 condition....but don't hold your breath 😀 😊 😉 ☺ 🙂

I am on the fence personally. I have a young head soveriegn specifically for the portrait.

But I do like the shield. I will settle for them both 😀

Shields for me all the way..just personal preference 🙂

Thanks for checking, unfortunately it wasn't purchased from the royal mint but a rather famous bullion dealer. So I don't think the letter of compliant is warranted. Do bullion dealers check over the coin before sending out?

Good news is that they can exchange 🙂. 

Well I would think they would check.......but good news that you can change which any reputable dealer would do..🙂🙂🙂

Wow that’s a very noticeable defect. It’s ridiculous that this coin passed a QC check.

Sad to say it does look like a prominent dent and scratch 😒 I would return that with a letter of complaint. Know way should a proof coin be sent out with those defects..

Just got home..parcel from RM..took my time to open...Packaging great! Capsule in tact coin looks fantastic under lupe cannot see any problems so very happy..QC sticker came off with no problem but rather have it on the box or c.o.a but not a problem..feel lucky that there are no problems ...

 You should have jumped on the swap shop thread mate if it's the single then you could have had a replacement from me as I had a good one.

 I agree they are amazing coins, hopefully my replacement set will be in a condition this issue deserves

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Not sure how I feel about this one, but I was kind of compelled to get a ruthenium finish panda for something different in my panda run. 

The hologram finish on the pandas is really interesting with a crackled texture, not sure it's to my taste,  but it's the temple side I find looks very cool in ruthenium. 

They are beautiful..but tbh not for me..I just think its going to be harder to liquidate when the time comes...I've learnt that certain coins are harder to sell when the time comes...but I do appreciate the beauty of these coins

So Chards did their bit days ago, and now apparently it's the royal mail letting me down. It was supposed to be delivered today. Anyone got any advice on what to do with this?

@LawrenceChard you should complain and get your postage costs back 😎

I'd say just wait!! It will turn up....🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Ive had an email saying Ive got a delivery from the RM tomorrow, BUT ive no idea what it is.

My Full sovereigns has completely disappeared off the system, and my 3 coin set is still in open orders.

Fingers crossed.....

After some confusion with RM and my bank with duplicate payments going out  RM held my coin which I eventually paid for on the 22nd and got confirmation of delivery tmrw 25th..that's what I call a great service..although worried abit in the condition it will arrive in....🙂🤔

They are on coming soon page, not yet for sale

Hi.

Just wanted to ask, is it easy buying from LPM. I was wondering about the port duties and taxes onto of the cost of the coins purchased from them.

Thankyou.
