I think the next continuing thing will be the British Monarchs. and it will continue to be the main series till the end of this year.

Perhaps April / May will also see the second Tudor Beasts.

Then there’ll be the random commemorations of famous people interspersed, until we get to the end of the year.

Mid year will probably be the Five Sovereign.

Second half of the year will also see the third Tudor Beasts. Ugh!

If the rumour about the Reddite Crown is true, I expect it to be around November / December. That’s usually been when the Great Engravers coins have been released. UGHH!!

And year end will also see the 2023 Sovereign. UGGGGHHHH!!!

People will need second and third jobs to keep up.

I could do with a good break from RM releases, as could my bank balance.

Hopefully I get that opportunity.

Who pointed it out?

That's the funniest thing I have seen this morning!

I think as @UnoWhopointed out earlier in this thread the continuing higher mintages for this series isn't going to end well, for the series.

So now we know for certain - max mintage 4256 and LEP 4000 for silver 2oz portrait. 🤷‍♂️

So there is 250 extra for the portrait in the presentation ?

And, there is 250 for both, yet to be accounted for ?

I said that, he said they didn't even announce it publicly but only to those who would receive one. He said it's people on the forums Chinese whispers that have created todays madness. His words

I do think they did intend to release today. Perhaps they changed their mind when they decided to essentially offer everyone the continuation a few weeks ago. But, once the genie is out of the bottle...

Yes correct.  It’s so weird - what has happened to the remaining 250 of the first 2 Oz silvers? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

That's the Million dollar question.

I am hoping the presentation for the 2oz portrait was 3750 too and it was a mistake suggesting it was 4000.

From the Agaunews website there’s just 5 of these sets.

Thats gold though, not the 2oz silver ?

Wasn't it mentioned there'll be a super dooper premium set with an original gothic crown as the final release?? And it was launching at some overseas coin expo??

Yeah. They seem to be gold though .

There was an assumption the additional 250 were going to be put into a set. In my mind there are still 250 of each available outside of this presentation.

I guess in theory they could put 4000 into this presentation? That's not like they were minting more, but not sure it would be right all the same

I think maybe they were both 4006 maximum coin mintage, all along.

The assumption there were 250 going into sets.

I think the confusion was 3750 LEP for the quartered arms, but 4000 LEP for the portrait (at least based on the open orders page).

So it seems there were 250 extra in the presentation for the portrait.

However we can't check the Royal Mint page

Does anyone have the COA of the first 2 Oz silver at hand to check the MCM?

Just now, NewCoins said:

I am pretty sure on the Royal mints website the maximum coin mintage for the quartered arms was 3750.

 

Just checked, it's also 4006. I am almost certain it didn't used to say that. I think that's changed.

Or, maybe the confusion was they had a limited edition presentation of 4000 for the 2oz silver portrait.

Perhaps that was the mistake.

Just now, jultorsk said:

I'd think it's the same amount of the limited (boxed) edition as for Arms - 3'750. 

Maximum mintage appears 4'006 for both, according to table / link shared above.

Who else is missing the queue ?

i am !

I was looking forward to it ☹️☹️

I am not buying.

I think I am addicted to the queue!

Where is it ? I need it....

No queue = no release?

I think I will give it a miss tomorrow.

I am currently bored of coins. Definitel release fatigue. I need some time away from RM

Sorry @Darr3nG!

2oz silver

Portrait or the quartered arms ?

I suspect the latter, in which case, no, not cheap 

Just now, Petra said:

So, is £500 cheap

Which one?

Just now, Petra said:

Yes, am I missing something as I have ignored all the hype about these coins as not my cup of tea, are they fetching a lot more then?

The portrait version isn't released until tomorrow. Quartered arms has been released however.

I mean long term collector, wich is the better in terms investment the portrait or the SOTD sovereign ?

Who knows.

I would prefer the gothic crown personally, but that's more from an aesthetic perspective.

Who knows on investment potential...

I may take you up on that - I'll see how the early morning queue goes for me

What do you need ? I can try, no guarantee it won't be cancelled etc.

I am expecting that its limited to 1 per household ?

I have mine on phone order last week, but will happily try to help someone out if it's possible?
