One to watch @BarryWoods https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gothic-Crown-Quartered-Arms-2021-UK-2oz-Gold-Proof-Coin-Plain-Edge-COA-8-/334328502800?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

They are in a bad postion, which I worry they won't get out of. They are clearly minting a percentage of the new releases, for example they had some of the FA Cup this morning. I think most have now gone to awaiting stock. They will do the same for the next new release, instead of finishing the backlog for the FA Cup. They seem destined to have a backlog, and will continue to do so whilst they continue with as many new releases. Perhaps that's a sign they are doing well in some respects. Maybe they will be patting themselves on the back. Maybe there is an element of making things that are sold making sense from a business perspective, rather then spending time money on coins that won't sell for a long time potentially. But clearly the downsides for the consumer is waiting and poor QC if they are constantly up against it.

Both 5oz? 😞 For a release that everyone knew would be an instant sell out the demands that RM have put on themselves clearly means they are constantly behind.

I didn't collect the queens beasts, but I think the bullion coins were in a different order. Someone can correct me on that. But, I would agree, I would have expected for the proofs, the designs were under embargo.

You and me both

Found it here. https://www.jmbullion.com/2022-2-oz-british-silver-tudor-beasts-lion-coin/ Odd the proof isn't out. Have they even sold the seymour panther as bullion yet ?

Where is this from?

You just need to blame everyone and everything but yourself. Do a Barry.

He knew the RRP. He knew it was on the secondary market. I agree dealers shouldn't misrepresent themselves. But, fundamentally he bought a coin on the secondary market for a price he was happy to pay.

Just to clarify, you aren't concerned about this anymore ? As you did know the RRP, at least you had an extremely good idea.

Hints ... 😁 Imagine if he was actually scammed. Oh my days.

We all know that's privileged information.

Debt is only going to prove a bigger problem for people incumbered by it. For anyone reading who might be struggling with debt, I suggest people take a long, hard, honest look at their finances. There is help available. I suggest you talk to a charity about it

The market decides ?

I dismantled a calculator when I was young to see how it worked. I didn't learn much! Not sure what I expected, some magic way of doing hard calculations maybe

Good point. On the flip side I assume it's more profit per coin on the bigger ones

@BarryWoodsknows

They told me on the phone they would ALL be dispatched this week. Which was clearly wrong. It's becoming more and more of a shambles. It must be a terrible show in there.

Didn't expect them to sell out so quickly? That has to be BS

I have my 5oz quartered arms, still waiting for thr 5oz portrait though. Thats an awfully long time to wait.

Which one (Portrait or QA)?

I saw a pile on these on ebay a week or two back . I just can't get away with the St Helena portrait.

I suspect its more of the case that they have too much to do. Whenever anyone tries to do more work, in the same amount of time, with the same tools, quality goes.

Royal Mints claim to be delivering the portrait by the end of week looks to be diminishing by the second. I don't mind waiting, as long as its right. I fear its going to be late and rubbish.

I have no idea what happened. Fixed
