Already resigned myself to having to buy one from the flippers/scalpers 
Well you're not getting mine now with language like that 🤣🤣

Growing on me quickly 

Roll whatever you got into mine 🤣
There actually pretty decent in the flesh

I think the 1oz Silver looks awesome, wish I hadn't flipped it now🤣

Looks groat! Er, great!

I love it personally so I’m keeping, Will add pictures later 😀

The only justification you need to return a proof coin to RM is that you've have changed your mind, that's good enough. Be careful what you fill your head with.
It doesn't happen 🙄

the name we do not speak has been spoken 😬
 

 

A lovely proof shilling and a platinum jubilee 2oz silver coin, I was adamant about sending back but now I might just keep as I’m not grading.

I think it might be the un-named dealer of which we do not speak 😀

@SilverJacks I get what you are saying. Some parts I do agree with. However, just a couple I don't think we do agree on.
- Demand currently is not natural. You might be a beloved collector but I and even though they won't admit it (mostly all of the new comers in this forum) are here because the coins are worth more. Before covid we were not buying every 2oz silver proof that was released. The Una was a terrible release. this has only changed due to potential returns. Your opinion changes naturally when prices are increasing. When prices are down nobody wants the coin and they are trying to punt it for any price. When prices are going up you somehow end up loving every release. The key here is you do not. It is due to the potential return. The mint in turn rewards those customers who are with them regardless of the sell out release or not. So the higher mint marquee customers deserve the first refusal because when coin prices are down they still buy. 
I think it is easier to think coin collecting has increased in desirability in the last few years if you only collect coins. This market rationale has nothing to do with coins. It is another hard asset in a basket of products ranging from Rolex watches - Pokémon cards and beyond. This will turn and when it does all of these newbs that are die hard collectors and joined the forum in last 2 years will be able to get every coin the royal mint produces. I doubt they will up take every coin when they are not doing so well. 

You bad man, do you damage coins and send them back to the Royal mint? 🤣

The fact they were limited to 100 in presentation means raw coins should remain raw IMO only 100 boxes, having a presentation box is significant to many collectors.

Not everyone will be investing for the series but instead investing for key coins that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Getting the first in the series secures the rest of the series and you can sell, even at a loss, some of the less desirables in order to obtain the ones that are otherwise impossible to obtain. Shucks, you could even buy and sell each gold for a few hundred quid profit to get the silver for free and build that set. This ain’t about building a set but being canny to get the ones you really want plus a little extra.

Just to remind that the Una took longer to sell out initially. 

I also think that because this series has a 1 Oz gold version, most folks went after that instead of the 2 Oz. Perhaps the folks who really desperately wanted a gold version eventually bought the 2 Oz after there was no chance of getting the 1 Oz.
Maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Thanks to @kuramafor today's arrival and personal touch.

Today I received....
 

Got these beautiful gold and silver Maples from @Agaumac.
Had to take up the opportunity to get a palladium one as well of course. 
Now for platinum....
