There will be another “once in a lifetime” in 2023 for HM’s platinum coronation jubilee, when she turns 100 in 5 years (if she does) and alternatively when Prince Charles becomes king most likely within this decade, etc.
The RM is very likely to release art prints of other Platinum Jubilee coins too.
As for rarity, there were only 95 of the Timothy Noad art prints they released earlier this year for HM’s 95th birthday coin. Just sayin’.
But ofc they increased the numbers. 150 x £100 = £15,000 for 150 sheets of paper and 10 minutes of printing work. Jackpot! 😀
Anyway, enjoy your print. It’s all subjective - if you like it, you like it. 🙂

Couldn't agree more sir...but getting their coins graded does increase the premiums..each to their own...I prefer the beauty of coins in their omp's while others see and hope for a $£ increase to get a few more £'s.......again,each to their own..

I would say after reading all the comments on this thread...BUY GOLD,Period....if you are in it for the long time you won't lose unless their is a world wide economic collapse in fiat or a Meteorite crashes into our planet and if that happens none of us will be here so know point in worrying...😏 Gold and Silver will always be on a rollercoaster of ups and downs controlled by the fed and interest rates,inflation and comments by distinguished financiers as its always been...I will keep buying Gold even if the price continues to rise,obviously we all want to buy on the dip..but for us are in it for the next 5/10/15 years and not day traders or flippers on precious metals I truly believe we will be the ones that benefit on buying as much Gold that we can afford now...and keeping it long term...And of those who do that will see the results in years to come......I don't have to tell you this as you all know ......we are not into buying PM's as a get rich scheme..we are buying and collecting/stacking for our future and our children's future..

Doesn’t stop a person from having an opinion on the relative new “business” of grading. For me, I think it is a pile o s****. However will not stop me from exploiting, if there comes a time when I want to sell. 
Did u not post about breaking out coins from grading holders in the past or is my memory failing? 

I have a question, should dealers grade and cash in on PF70's or should we sell raw to customers to have slabbed themselves?
Customers often ask, is it slabbed? I always say that's for you to do, win or lose.

Deffinatly..I always buy at least 2 coins when there is a 1st edition...seems like after a year or so when the 2nd coin is released the 1st one goes up in price alot......so sell one..keep one..

Im a bit concerned now, its saying order placed today for my coin set even though i ordered on the 15th, i did get a conformation email. Call to customer services tomorrow and fingers crossed. 

It's not easy is it, for some of us. I agree with you they have been very helpful. I also spoke to a nice lady who said the same. I did say if I paid again and just waited for the £630 to come back into my account would it be dispatched this week? She said no...they are awaiting stock and will be 2 weeks.
So Im Just going to wait for my money to be returned then call them and pay ...just hope they don't give my reserved coin away by mistake in the meantime...🙄🙄🙄

My set will be not be going for grading, personally i prefer the sets to remain in thier original case / box. 
They may be worth more in a 70 grade but they just look so good in their walnut case.
 

I'm still buying, albeit slower than before. I think when you get to the average joe bullion stacker, buying naturally self limits. At the end of the day, it costs me more £ per ounce and i only have a certain number of £ free, therefore i can buy less gold. As @dicker said earlier, cost averaging is my friend too 😄 I am trying as best i can to dodge the particularly big spikes, but i think that the days of £1000 an ounce may be well and truly behind us.
Silver i am now only buying either for gifts (as with a handful of Kookaburra's earlier this week). Or if there is something particularly pretty that i want to buy more just to look at than for any chance of a gain.

No silver coins will be free of possible milkspotting..but the Perth mint coins seem to have lesser spotting than most silver coins..their quality control is No:1 in my opinion....Canadian Maples from 2018 onwards have introduced their mintshield protection tech which seems to be reducing spotting significantly....wish they would share their secret with the Royal mint..(No chance) but I believe the RM could invest in their own technology and research and incorporate a mintshield process to improve their coins.....but they won't invest the money and continue to pump out coins with problems...imo they really don't care about their QC, as long as people continue to buy their products with high premiums knowing that we are willing to continue receiving coins that are sent out with spotting scrapes,dents etc....and that we are continually sending back time and time again to be replaced or refunded....We get generic replies and pathetic excuses all the time from the RM! .....why would they invest in technology to eradicate spotting etc, Its going to cost them money..
 
Until the day when we all say..enough is enough they might listen. But that day will never come because we all continue to buy knowing its a 50/50% chance we will receive a coin in proof condition.
 
It's like queuing...the English moan about queuing but do not speak out.... and just accept it, its not cricket......😆😆😆😆😆😆

They do look nice..I only got a 1/2 sov....but does anyone else look at the design and just see the 1983 £1 coin????

It's not my auction before anyone says anything 😆😆😆😆

It all makes sense now lol.
Drum up interest in a £1 coin then people like me go searching for said coin 🤣🤣🤣

Found another few 🤷‍♂️


I sincerely wouldn't have a clue

It's not my auction before anyone says anything 😆😆😆😆

Were they proof or had a frosted finish...😊

Very cool *

It's not my auction before anyone says anything 😆😆😆😆

Do us Southners need a Visa 😜

Lovely mate what grade is it ?

I totally agree with you we all have different tastes and should be able to share views without being s**gged off.. cest la vie.

I HOPE MINE IS IN BETTER NICK THAN A 1983 £1.00 COIN!!!!!  oops caps 😂
