That was ridiculous,  the page I had open for the mint is still not even queuing but that link took me straight to the shop and got the set. Wonder if there will be any left at 0900 for actual 'launch'?

Having only got in to gold in the last year the experience of waiting for this soverign is pretty exciting... watching the rumours flow is like watching transfer window rumours in football!
 I have a few nice pieces, mainly through what I've learned on this forum, I obviously missed the queen's beasts....but have picked up a few bits retrospectively, I am collecting the myths and legends, I thought the tudor beasts would be my first "collector/investor" pieces but I hate the design. 
 I'm lucky enough to be in the position to make a few investments and have some fun with them and this soverign launch has me excited... rambling post to say this forum is pretty fun, I've learned a lot, you've cost me a lot of money and your influence will rape my bank account on Monday!!! But hey, ultimately we will all make money off this long term....hopefully

Certainly some differing views, thanks for the input. I think the point raised about the coins being potentially ready dinged or scratched (but intentionally) is interesting, it might make you less worried about handling them.

Seems they have most silvers and all the golds in stock again to order. Should I be surprised these haven't sold out?

Here's a thought. I assume that almost everyone buying these proofs will sign up for the series so the mint will surely make at least as many coins as this first beast, I would be surprised if they then didn't make extra to sell individuals, is there potential for these to end up with very high montages and really not be rare?
 
 Sorry if that sounds thick but I'm quite new to this. Did they do a similar subscription for the queen's beasts?

I don't really like the design on the Tudor Beasts coin so It's been interesting being able to watch the release, free from the fear of missing out, that others have felt with this coin. I actually had pangs to buy it as I was in early on the website but in the end it just came down to me not liking the design and figuring it's be best to keep the powder dry for something that excites me more. 
My first take on the look of this coin was that it reminded me a lot of the QB Yale, it must have been the spots, but when I looked at the Yale and compared them I think the Panther almost looks cartoonish. The design of the Yale looks so much more refined. The Posture here is off and the paws on the Panther just look clumsy to me. It's a relief in a way as now I don't have to invest. I feel like the Royal Mints Beast's series was just so successful they couldn't bear to see that particular wave break, seeing as some of the Tudor Beasts are the same as Queens Beasts we'll get to see directly comparable coin designs from different artists which will be interesting I think. But it would have been nice if the RM had come up with something fresh which was a bit more of a departure from a series that they literally just finished this year.
I'm not saying this to put anyones noses out and If you like the coins design fair play this is just my opinion. The forum would be a boring place if we all liked the same things. As Westminstrel said earlier sometimes these designs do grow on you. 

“Some of them thought I wouldn’t see the end of the Queen’s Beasts series and guess what Charles....”

“I’m here for the next series!!”

 

I keep the powder dry for the Gothic Crown and Sovereign 2022.
I am not fond of this design but I just ordered the 1oz and 2oz silver hoping the next designs will be better

Great point on the potential monarch change, could make the set pretty desirable
 

If you think about the queens beasts the lion was the first and is one of the most popular designs ever. As a first design to a series i think this coin is lacking. I think thats why there’s still gold proofs available. If i do get one it will be gold bullion so will avoid the hype for now but will be a potential gainer should the series gain traction

Still gold proofs available, I really thought these would sell out quicker. Maybe people saving there money for the 2022 sovereign or the vague hope of a gothic crown? 
 I don't like the design much but if it wasn't for the upcoming releases I would still have picked up a panther for investment

I am sure these will be collectibles but I just can't get get on with the design, I really think it looks stupid, almost like a children's drawing.
 Then again I guess I'm in the minority that are loving the myths and legends coins so horses for courses I guess.

I wouldnt buy bullion above much over than spot price.
If you want to collect the QB, better get the proof versions as it really makes the design stand out.
 
 

You could pick them up from other forum member's at more reasonable prices than the online dealers, in which case it might be worth it, although the first 3 or 4 might hard to find. Other than that, I wouldn't bother personally but that's just me. There are still plenty of 1/4 oz versions around which are obviously cheaper and easier to find.

How do people see the una and the lions 1oz gold bars performing? They seem sold out everywhere aside from one site looking for 2400 usd. 
 
 Doubt they'll ever come close to the coins but do we reckon these could be a good investment?

With the last few 1oz gold queen's beasts still around, would you say the premiums are worth it? The greyhound and white horse are available for about 1500.
 
 Do you reckon it's worth it? Some of the more desirable coins seem to be going for silly money but these 2 seem unpopular hence the price. Looking to the future though I would have thought these might be worth a punt?
