Should this issue also especially in gold with a mintage of only 200 not be throughly checked by the Royal Mint before being sent out.

Think it is called finning, it is caused by to much pressure on the surface of the coin.

If you have it around all of the coin then the die to planchet distance was incorrect, meaning the distance the dies  was set to close to the planchet which caused to much pressure during minting, and forced the metal between the die and collar.

Uneven finning is where the die has not being set level/even causing to much pressure on one side of the planchet.

    

That's for your help Wampum greatly appreciated. 

That's a shame. Your right, finning I remember trying to figure that out last year when my petition crown arrived with the same problem. It's a great disappointment to see. Although it obviously doesn't effect grading as seen some of the petitions from last year with obvious finning issues scored a PF70 why is this? Should that not lower the score as the coin isn't perfect

Wire rim variety should be available for sure. Costs so much to arrive like this. 

Definitely looks like the same issue round the sides looking at golddiggerdaves photos

Partial collar can't mind what that's called. But think I seen that on the gold st george on the dragon there where the edge band was higher raised over the face of the coin

Is the edge band raised higher again over the face of the coin same as the petition was. See photo of gold 2oz 

Total bargain whoever bought that. £7k wow. Wait to it rises to £20/30k, that buyer will be a happy chap indeed 😁 see these coins taking off 

Probably not a bad idea, would cover the bills. Does anyone own a 10oz silver of any of the GE coins. Would be nice to see one other than the RM images

Has anyone got a dispatch email or confirmation on their RM open orders. Mines paid but not showing in account 

Businesses turning a profit is one thing and would be absurd not too turn a profit. But missing out on coins for whatever reason, to see every upcoming release soon as it arrives talk about an eBay flip n flip quite another. Disappointing for collectors, what I'm saying is, the pleasure of collecting for real collections is dying and being killed by the endless private flippers. Some coins worth paying double triple the price sometimes more if need for a set or collection, but you have to agree most now are out for a flip from the start and have no intentions of adding the coin to their collection. 

Flipperforum would be more suited on majority of topics seem to read on here. Great shame for people who enjoy the excitement and the joy and pleasure of simply owning coins and building a collection for the joy of the hobbie, there's a great deal of pleasure in collecting anything wether be coins, records, stamps whatever your into, you come here to hear and see what others have shared n read on coins maybe you haven't got or never will have to see the appeal of such coins n most topics it's flip flip n flip again. The enjoyment of collecting i have to say is less n less. I agree with golddiggerdave they have increased price, can be annoying but  understandable, mintages cut, fantasic. But let's get back to talking coins uploading photos for other to see. This flipperforum just getting boring now 

I wonder how long they will sit @ 12k on eBay? Missed out as was away, perhaps best to buy before the price shoots up. Will check tomorrow for a cancellation before making me decision. Have to have this in my collection 

Just be very happy to have silver's or golds in your collection. Great coins indeed. Especially the rarity in the larger sizes. Would have loved the 5oz & 10oz silver. The gold 2oz the jackpot in this release if anyone lucky enough to get

I wonder what people think these coins will sell for once the fuss dies down?

2oz silver ?

5oz silver ?

10 oz silver ?

2 oz gold ?

I be honest and say after watching this series from the start, I don't have a clue 😀

My opinion it's up there as one of the best, I expect they will significantly increase in value. Especially in gold, I'd think anything under £20k would be a great buy. Looks amazing, definitely a keeper. Wouldn't worry about selling, anyone lucky enough to get the gold, just own this one, hang on to it. Investment piece for sure. Doubt these will seldom be seen for sale. Just my opinion. Look forward to hearing everyone's comments. Very intriguing coin 

The George and dragon release this month isn't it? 

28th/29th of next month. Hopefully that's correct. I must take a look at the Gazette proclamations sometime. Don't know much about it as yet. It'll probably be that design shown. It'll be a long set to complete 

I agree with you. I'm not a fan personally nothing to do with his background or what happened that's besides his music abilities. Still a great artist. But rolling stones the iconic tongue, queen you have the crest. Elton the hat all came together well n these designs. But for the life of me I'm struggling to imagine what they may put on this design. Other than his portrait which I'm hoping they won't do again as seen with the Bowie coin. Never the less he will be bought to complete the collection. Some designs do suprise though so it'll be interesting to see what is produced. He was a very generous man with charities which is something to be said. Thanks for your input westminstrel, any further information on design ideas please share. 28th or 29th I believe. Impressive series upon completion. 

He's not my cup of tea, but since he's the next music legend on the series it has to be bought not to break the collection. I'm collecting 1/4 gold on this series. Some 2oz gold depending on the band.  Will be interesting to see the design. But should be better than the police I would vote that as the worse. N the tongue missing on the rolling stones also was a massive disappointment. I expect after afew average coins the decent coins will emerge. The Beatles I think will be a sellout in the large gold size and a decent design. Nothing comes to mind for George maybe just a plain signature. 

Behind bars probably a better design if their looking for a sellout 😂 dear knows. But they'll have to revive the music legends series with mintage figures and designs as theres been afew disappointing coins in this series. 

Some suggestions attached below. But nothing comes to mind. Ozzy Osbourne, The Beatles I imagine will be fantastic coins worth a 2oz gold in those ones. Think with George the smaller denominations just to keep the set going. 

Royal Mint upcoming Music Legends series, first coin of 2024 to feature George Michael. End of February I believe. 

Can't imagine how will look, but anything should be better than the last coin the Police, it looked like evolving apes.

Any suggestions on design? 

So just the same old design as in every sovereign except with the garter as seen on the 2017 sovereign? I just wish it had of been Wyons design. Would'nt certainly bought the 2 and the 5oz in that design. I think on this one I'll stick with both the 2oz's. Has anyone heard if there will be a mint marque version in the gold? 

Is this design identical then to the 2017 sovereign? What would be the main reason to buy this when I can just buy a sovereign with same design? Other than the weight.
