NewCoins

Got a 2oz yesterday manage to blag the 1oz too from RM at lunch time today so I am happy. 

Looking forward to seeing them 

I nearly had 1 and 2oz silver.

Got some weird security message and wouldn't let me proceed to the payment page.

Got a 2oz on the phone in the end, at least that's what she said.

Sigh.

Anyone getting delivery option is not available (for increased security)?

It is a good renditioning of the effigy.

Damn you Royal Mint, I was hoping to overpay my mortgage this month.

Looks like they are all gone except the sov set and bunc.

The media seemed to be teasing this may be the last. Likely just PR though

Could this be the last 50p with QE II?

No, Elizabeth.

Not sure if it's today, can't see anything on the RM website.

Edit. Looking back in this thread, looks like it is this morning

Anyway I won't be buying unlimited mintage coins, even though its just until the end of the year. They should at least had something limited.

I will take a look anyway if I Manage to get through the queue

I guess bad for both......I like to collect knowing that it is/will be a limited edition.

Agreed. I bought some trainers recently, partly because they were very limited. I wear them and it's not something I would ever sell (who would want my smelly trainers).

Same applies to coins. There isn't anything "special" about owning something that is ten a penny.

Surely we all want those limited/hard to get coins in our collections ?

Who is giving this release a total miss on Monday ??

I'm thinking of it - and just watch things from the side lines - hoping Ive made the right decision

I don't see Charles holding the same appeal & fondness of the QEII. 

Also to compare to popularity, demand & secondary market value of other Royal family releases ie Queen mother, Prince Phillip, William and the Fresh Price of Bel Air & Queen of Hearts oh so regal divorcee wife 

Aside from the new sovereign & next Great Engravers series when it comes out that may be me done with RM new "Charles" releases 

Opinions ??

I am in, if I manage to get through the queue, for the silver 50p anyway.

Not fancying the chances though.

If its unlimited, I won't be buying.

Cheese savoury is cold, made of cheese,mayo, onion etc

Whats a stottie? A scottish stoat pie?

If you haven't had a cheese savoury scottie, you haven't lived

Not for me. Another series, another "register your interest" for a coin that's also part of today's release.

The design is OK, but don't want to get dragged into a 3 coin series which is very average.

I would have preferred a much lower mintage release, considering the amount of jubilee coins they have pumped out.

Got a copy somewhere I'll dig it out for you mate

 

Thanks. It's very much appreciated 

I need my royal mint queueing / new coin excitement.

There hasn't been much recently that's got me going (ahem).

There is a table somewhere with the proposed release dates. I have had a good look but can't find it. 

Anyone have it handy please?

Certainly not for me.

I am looking to send quite a big batch of coins away for grading, probably in the next few weeks.

I normally send to NGC but this has clearly put me off. Has this been raised with them?  Has anyone seen a response ?

This clearly looks like a big, business affecting issue.

I am not a member of PGCS does anyone have any UK agents they can recommend?

It was discussed many times, by many members, especially in the GE thread. Many members got the same answer by the mint, they ain't guarantee you an absolute perfect coin. Their standard is 68, or better. 

And for me this comes down to the definition of "perfect" in respect to proof coins.

It's easy to have unrealistic expectations.

As I become more experienced, I am also becoming more realistic. Some of the significant zoom pictures I have seen, are people looking for problems imo.

I get it. I just think we have to be accepting of minor issues which don't really detract from the Coin.

It's everyone's rightful opinion to what's acceptable to them. If it bugs you enough send it back.

Are you attacking me because I called out your homophobia? 

Did I miss some forum drama?

I have added this to the General Precious metals forum as I am assuming it might be of a coin, the NFT is for, and not a piggy bank.

Took quite a bit of force, flat palms twisting... 

This is definitely the way.

I have hands like a butcher. I think that helps.
