  1. Thanks James. I have been a silent reader, so still been around mostly.
  2. After the stress with the gothics and the uneven mintages (at least on the 2oz silver) I think the set is the right call. I completely understand the one off cost is annoying. As I will be only going for the 2oz silver, I will just able to manage. As I have said previously I would love them reduce the mintages, even if that means I may not get any. This series needs saving....
  3. The increasing mintages of the GE series has always been the major issue for me. Beautiful coins which are hard to get was the biggest selling point in my view. Isn't that the reason why the originals are so admired ? I agree this one doesn't have the eye appeal of the others. But bump the mintages down and it may make it a success from a collectors perspective. The RM seemed to prioritise short term profit by increasing the mintages, which long term for this series is probably going to hurt them. They should be bold and go back to 3k mintage. I am personally undecided whether to get this one, without it being two coins also adds additional stress. I probably will though...
  4. I was thinking that for a minute or two then remembered occams razor.
  5. I will be returning it. My technical term will be have your coin back and give me a refund please. I have all if the British Monarchs coins so far (a few of some). Will be putting them on flebay or similar. I just don't have the will to go through this with the rest of them. I might pick up a select few, but that's out trying to collect them all
  6. 4 coin set just arrived. Got to rush out so cant have a good look. It smells nice at least. Picture of the double
  7. Same here. Was getting tired of waiting. There is a chance I will miss the postman tomorrow sadly.
  8. I have a 4 coin set on order and getting more and more annoyed there isn't any indication when it may be dispatched. I would like to have it, and looking forward to seeing the coins in hand. There is a point though where it will be cancelled, especially as they have taken the money on order. Hoping it's worth the wait
  9. I am expecting an even bigger mintage than the gothic crown portrait. This series may just end up becoming ten a penny. I am hoping the mint roll the mintages back a bit, to save this series. I will be buying in any event probably.
  10. Just got a dispatch email from the Royal Mint. I think it must be the 4 coin set. I don't think I am expecting anything else. Edit - ignore it isn't the 4 coin set. Got excited for a minute
  11. I can shave my big beard. That should give them a few coins worth.
  12. If anyone doesn't want the proof, please cancel. In your thousands, please 🙏
  13. I do fear you might be right. It is all about mintages/availability and of course the design. Una was certainly a great coin. I love it. They should be bold and drop the mintages for the next one. Especially if it's a series that goes on for years. Otherwise it's going to fade into nothingness as a series, with a few standouts. I liked the gothic crown. I probably have too many. It could have have been much more special. For me, rarity and a good design makes a coin extra special. I appreciate some people think that availability is a good thing. I didn't buy the first unlimited (until the end of year) charles coin for that reason. I dare say I wouldn't have bought an unlimited Una either, but due to the design I may have.
  14. Well, I joined the queue about 8.45, tried some sneaky links for the 4 coin set but didn't work. Got completely distracted with work, by the time I remembered the 4 coin set was gone. Luckily just got one from the RM. I really want to see this design as a double. It looks great in the photos. Fingers crossed it looks good or better in the flesh.
  15. My money is on an even higher mintage than the gothic crown portrait. And that my friends means there will be plenty for everyone who really wants one, one way or another.
  16. As we are talking great engravers just had an email from the mint about this set. https://www.royalmint.com/shop/coin-sets/Gothic-Crown-Three-Coin-Historic-Set/?utm_campaign=2022-10-col-latest-acquisitions&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=231268554&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9Xz3xJ7iGA-ga4XQKVuE3xqY-I_GGbjgyRmp7b-MMdaYTs1BPy7KJQ4sZFjYfXa0mWlGIuKjVQt1Bb7lG58m2ORTIxnw&utm_content=231268554&utm_source=hs_email I would really like it. I don't want to know the price, but I do want to know the price.
