I would check your card statements, i have just checked mine and i have been charged twice for the latest coin in the series

1 oz, 2 oz silver proofs should be despatched on 7th April. Boxes were early March.

thats good only 2.25% on quidco
 

Guess they have taken too much on per usual ( I mean receiving a box and no coin is a new one on me lol

I had not realised that the Royal Mint had been around for so long.

Well said!
😎

Well considering he will appear on coin 3 through 10,  and the possible completer of the Tudor Beasts, I doubt they would chance destroying the current collection??
Infact I'd go as far as saying, Tudor beasts was a very carefully chosen name. 

The backdating is interesting. It somehow seems to indicate (to me anyway) that the RM was prepared and moved fast after HM’s death on many fronts - memorial coin range, KC III portrait, etc.
It’ll be interesting to know what actually happened.

Thanks for posting this.
I have been looking out for new notices almost every day since 8th September.
I think @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer missed it also!

You probably know that we at @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer do try to offer new RM products at competitive prices, and have been doing so since about 1999.
What you may not know is that the RM have flip-flopped between direct sales, where they can control the prices, and using distributors, where it is more difficult to do so.
As they have a de-facto monopoly in the production of UK coins, it is too easy for them to use and abuse this monopoly, and really should have ethical long-term policies in place to ensure they do not illegally or unethically restrain trade and competition. 
For many years, the Royal Mint chose not to supply our business directly. I firmly believe that one factor in this was that some of the RM management viewed us a competitors, which is fair enough, but that they also applied policies, and made decisions, to restrict our ability to compete with the Mint, and that those decisions were anti-competitive, and probably illegal. Proving this would not be easy, but I do have evidence of it, some of which I have aired on previous occasions.
As we now deal directly with the RM for bullion products, I have recently been slightly more reserved in my criticism of them. In theory, their commemorative coin department appear to have agreed to supply us, in principle at least, but have been too busy to complete our onboarding process. Otherwise, our prices for certain high value issues could and would have been sharper (lower) for many years. One result of this is that many collectors, stackers, and investors have paid higher prices than they otherwise might have been able to for their coins.
