I’ve got one it’s lovely 👌 

Has anyone seen a 1Kilo in the metal and if so do the Three Graces work well on such a large coin? 

@ExpatBrian, apparently your view was shared by lots of others as the vast majority are already sold.

Apologies for the misinformation on my part.

The RM has already sold out of the 1 kilo silver. The last batch is being sold by the Britannia Coin Company. There is no news on the release date but it will be at some point this month. There will also be a premium on the kilo so you should expect to pay (much) more than the RM price tag.

There is currently a raw Una  proposed for 3800€ (seller from Spain). I have personally  sold an  Una (PF69) recently for 3200€

Not sure what what qualifies a coin like this for a First Day of Issue label . Given that these are proof non-circulation coins that sold out within an hour or so of being launched, aren't they all First Day of Issue? cf stamp first day covers. Looks like a marketing ploy to make them seem more exclusive than all the rest.

For anyone who is interested(!) apparently RM holds around 23% of Sovereign Rarities , which itself made £1m of profit last year. Likewise , for those so inclined(!) the front end of RM accounts for last year make quite interesting reading .

Interesting tie-up . I suppose that it gives RM a channel to source old coins which seems a developing part of it business and to sell new ones at prices that it might not feel able to do publicly direct.

" The Royal Mint invests in Sovereign Rarities
06 Jun 2017
The Royal Mint and Sovereign Rarities are pleased to announce that The Royal Mint has made an equity investment in Sovereign Rarities Limited.  The decision by The Royal Mint to invest is part of the business’s 5 year plan to grow in the collector services market.
Sovereign Rarities is a London based numismatic dealership, comprised of a team of numismatic specialists, collectively with over one hundred years of experience. Sovereign Rarities is a proud member of the British Numismatic Trade Association (BNTA) and also works in conjunction with museums and other academic institutions and societies to promote the study of numismatics.
The Royal Mint has an unbroken history of minting British coinage dating back over 1,000 years. Anne Jessopp, Director of Consumer Coin at The Royal Mint confirms “The collaboration with Sovereign Rarities Limited supports the strategic direction in which The Royal Mint is keen to progress.  Both our businesses will be working to accelerate opportunities within this specialist area”. 
Ian Goldbart, Managing Director of Sovereign Rarities commented, “I am delighted to welcome The Royal Mint as a shareholder. It makes perfect sense for us to strengthen the tie with The Royal Mint, especially as a substantial proportion of the coins we deal with were in fact produced over the last 1,000 years by The Royal Mint”

I agree , slabbing for selling on (depending on the premium/cost) but not if you are keeping particularly for the larger size coins that you might want to display from time to time -if anyone does that apart from me?  Although if I was buying  in the after-market  privately from ebay I would feel more confident in buying a slabbed coin, especially as most sellers don't allow returns

Its very interesting to compare the posts on the early pages of this subject when people were  wondering whether or not to go for these coins  and whether they would prove a good buy ,to those more recently . Maybe a lesson to all of us there. 

With such a stunning design  (maybe to some tastes even more exceptional than the Una ,which itself is a very attractive coin) these are always likely to hold a premium over the issue price. I am less convinced that the very high premiums at which the silver coins are now being traded will remain in the long term , with quite a few of these being issued and the Mint maybe milking their popularity by issuing so many different size versions .
If only 10% of the 3000 2oz  coins are flipped, that means 300 coins that need to find buyers from those who have not already got one. I personally will be keeping my Three Graces to enjoy as a thing of beauty but if I was tempted to sell I would consider doing it sooner rather than later .
Just my opinion and of course I may be wrong.  

It would be really interesting to see a photo of the 5oz and 10oz side by side

I heard from a dealer that a lot of the Three Graces  are being bought by buyers outside the UK , particularly Japan.
