He does look like a twat, that scarf is so obnoxious

They are not proving as hard to come by as you would think. The thing is the 1000 panthers sold out really quickly, sad to see they can't even shift 500 now.

This design hasn't been popular has it?

Not for the reverse proof sets. The first one was actually a stand alone launch a good few weeks after all the other proofs If it looks better in hand or just grows on me I wouldn't be surprised

Do I need a third memorial quintuple?

Just to be clear that wasn't me!

A bit more info and a lot more mockery

I do see that once again there's only 500 reverse proof sets hust like the yale. Surely it's not normal that every release seems to have a different mintage? They also properly messed up not having the subscription on these

I'd say the dragon is the worst in the series because I think they tried to make it fierce and that doesn't work within the confines of the design. To me it should have been goofy and weird/fun. I think with the decision to basically have the same body on every beast they made a real mistake and left very little room for a designer to do much (though they could still have done better) Still, I'm committed to the gold bullion and reverse proofs.

My word, what is that? I'm afraid I know bugger all about Mexican gold, that's a stunner

Still, I suppose they are doing us a service reminding us all why we love the queens beasts so much. It's fine, I'm still going to buy it, I'm enjoying collecting a set, keeps me buying bullion regularly and topping up the stack and it's more interesting than a brittania.

I know it's going to have that weird squatting body like ratboy from the viz but I'm not having that head. The head shouldn't be trying to look like a fierce dragon, look at the statue, its a party dragon She's all 5 spice girls in one body

She's Stunning and brave

That's not it surely?

I'm not sure why the dragon would be the exception to the rest of the series, they are all goofy and weird. I've grown to really like them but they are quite bizarre

It's actually amazing how many services are still using that line to stay closed. Nice coin

I said I like them.... I've got the full reverse silver proof and 1oz gold bullion sets so far. I stand by them being weird but at least they are interesting

There's definitely a certain look to these tudor beasts that you summarise quite well, oddly they have grown on me. I like how weird they are

Do we know if its just the proofs on Monday?

George looking properly jacked on the silver coin, I reckon USADA may want a word after he's done with that dragon

And there it is...this abomination has a name...caitlyn and the lion. If it wasn't damned before it is now.

I'm not convinced that is a woman on that bar. That aside you are correct, hopefully they will sell about 6 of these ugly things and forget about the idea of a series

The more I look at the una and the lion the worse it gets! What a terrible design. That face is a mess, looks like it has been melted! The una bar they did a few years ago was a stunner, this is garbage and I suspect the rest of the range will be the same

Yes, I reckon I might even chance the gold proof on that one as it could be a very nice coin indeed and the queens beast proof completer has done very well price wise. Considering I wasn't too in to this set at first I'm starting to find I have rather a lot of them! That first release was weird, remember the 2 coin set was released ages after the initial launch.

I suppose if there was some kind of rule about monarchs not being aloud to change on a coin design then we wouldnt have the soverign any more...or the great engravers
