They are great coins! The only problem I have with them is that they are so shiny that all the blemishes show up really clearly. I ordered a few of each but all of them had scratches, dirt and other blemishes all over them. I don’t know if it’s like that for all of them or if I just got a bad batch.

I hope I can add the first and the latest in the series to my collection at some point in the future when I can find them in the wild

I have previously picked up this beautiful Peanuts Charlie Brown and Snoopy Valentines coin from @Panda6Pack. I had to pick this coin up because I used to love Peanuts as a child.

It really is a lot of hoops to jump through. I have had problems with their security checks on both proof and bullion purchases. Even though I have spent a fair amount with the royal mint they still subject you to vigorous security checks. One time I bought a 1 oz gold bullion and they didn't send it out for over 2 weeks and an email they never replied to and 3 phone calls of them telling me they will dispatch it soon I was told they just forgot to take the security tag off of the payment which they needed to do before they sent it even though the funds were taken from my account. I really do love the royal mints products but with this, the lack of communication between departments, the quality control issues, not listening to their customer base and some questionable designs on some of their coins, the royal mint as a business is just so poorly run.

I would presume the complete coin will be coming back in stock as the royal mint normally uploads their stock in batches. There is no mintage on any of the completer coins or the queens beasts coins so the completer coin is not a limited mintage coin. I checked not that long before they sold out and there was 25 in stock so I know they sold more than that. The 100 oz Una and the Lion bars have a limited mintage of 1020 and given that they are 100 oz bars and are limited mintage I would presume that they would be selling more of the 1 kg complete coins than that and given how fast they sold out I would presume that they did not have that many in stock.

The level of interaction between production and sales in non existent. When the 1 oz gold complete coin came out i asked if they were doing it in the 1/4 oz gold and in silver and I was told it would only be available in the big sizes so 1 oz gold and 10 oz silver and not the 1/4 gold or the 2 oz silver. But now we have the completer coin in 2 oz silver and 1 kg silver.
I have also had similar interactions which showed there was a lack of communication with various departments at the royal mint and with all the problems people have been having with them such as the low quality control it makes you wonder what on earth they are doing at the royal mint.

I believe they will make some more as I think that the 1 oz gold completer coin also sold out when it was first released but it is in stock on the royal mint website right now. The royal mint normally makes coins in batches so I presume that this was the first batch and that they will restock the completer coin when the next batch is in stock.
The royal mint does not have a mintage listed in the description of the computer coin so I presume it is "unlimited" mintage like the other queens beasts coins and is subject to how many they sell this year and how much silver they can get to make them.

Atkinsons coins do not come with capsules. The coins come straight from a tube in a monster box from the royal mint. On their website you can buy a capsule for the coin separately but the coin will not be sent in the capsule. They will send the coin in a flip and the capsule loose.

Yes with proof coins it is the same as buying most items online where you just add it to your cart, go to checkout and enter your card details. I normally only purchase bullion myself and only on special occasions do I purchase proofs. I don't know why royal mint has decided to implement a different checkout method for bullion. The only reason I can think of for them to do it this way is because this way is slower so by the time you transfer credit into your account and the credit is validates by them and your bank the spot price might of gone up so they might of made more pounds that way. It is just an odd, fiddle and clunky way of doing things and i don't think any other bullion dealer asks for credit to be transferred in this way. But that is the royal mint for you!

To purchase proof coins you have to pay by card. It might be worth saving your card details as it will be quicker to check out and so it will quicker to confirm your purchase. Otherwise you will have to enter your card details and then check out so it might be sold out by the time you check out if it does sell out quickly.

Yes the £1 VAT is for the postage and packaging as while the coin is VAT free the postage and packaging is not. You can get free shipping if you spend over £250 so it might be worth saving up and buying it in one go but with this you can not spread out your purchases and lock in your purchases at different prices and cost average and may be out of pocket if spot decides to go up before you have saved up enough to buy it.

I bought my first ounce of gold at the peak too. It was the James Bond bullion bar from the royal mint for the high price of £1630. I still have the receipt. Right after I bought my first ounce of gold the spot price of gold dropped. At one point the was the low low price of £1300. I could have saved myself over £300 if I had predicted the drop in spot price or waited. But thats the market for you. Sometimes you buy on a high and sometimes you buy on a low. That’s just how the market goes. I bought more ounces of gold since then not at the peak which has cancelled each other out and bought the cost average price down. I am also of the mindset that you don’t lose money until you sell it. You may of made more money if you had bought something else or got it for cheaper if you times it perfectly. But you are never going to be able to always buy the prefect item or time the buy perfectly. There is no point in worrying about it as there is nothing you can do and you will never get anywhere. It’s a learning experience so you just need to learn from it and move on to your next venture. I am sure in time with both the slow recovery of the economy and high rate of inflation that it will not be long now until the spot price of gold goes back up and surpasses the recent high peak. But until then I have a nice James Bond bullion bar in my collection and I have got my foot in the door of gold stacking. What more can you ask for?
