Number 4220 arrived in 1oz silver proof. Appears to be MS70😊 and no milk spots. Yet🙄. If I had to nitpick then the year '2022' is not centred correctly and appears to be too far to the left🤔...quietly chuffed😊
 

AMAZING 
No milk, no scratches and perfect coins.
WELL DONE ROYAL MINT
This set is stunning and will be a winner in my opinion. 
Video tomorrow showcasing the 1 oz and 10 oz coins.
WOW, impressed. 

Two of my 1oz proofs come today , looking perfect , beautiful coins can’t wait for the rest to be realeased

Yea Im not as experienced as you but they look smashing to my untrained eye. 
I could have got a lower mintage number, but I doubt that matters unless your in double digits does it??

Received my 1oz, 2oz and 5oz very happy especially with the 5oz 

Thanks for this. Wonder why they changed it up so much over time. I did manage to get most of the original QBs in 1/4oz gold bullion so might as well aim for the same with this set.

The Queen’s Beasts started with the bullion…the Lion in March 2016. The proof Lions showed up in December of that year as a 2017 dated coin. 
They eventually settled in to the proofs coming first with the bullion a month later or so (except the 10oz silver and 1oz platinum bullion, which were released later, and stayed on an every 6 month schedule…I hope with these they do all the bullion together so they all have the same date.)

1/4 Oz gold is sold out now
That's a good sign
 

Couple of lovely lots delivered today! Firstly thanks to @PatrickV for a wonderful tube of 2021 Brits! 
@ilovesilverireallydo thank you very much for this stunning piece of gold form the former country of Yugoslavia I think it will be in my stack for a long time to come! Thanks to both of you for helping to build my stack! 😁

Back from grading 😃
 

Hello folks, my first post. I started out metal detecting, found my first Victorian silver thru-pence 7 years ago. Caught the bug.. @TheDoc introduced me to silver collector coins, bullion etc. My bank manager and I will never forgive him for it. 
Here is my stash of ten Irish presidential plates. Eight Eamonn DeValera(2500 issued) and Two Erskine Childers(1000 issued) All bought below spot too. 18oz of sterling silver. Lovely unique hallmark for these issues too. Gathered over lockdown, pubs closed so had to spend it on something.

Got my coins back today 

that is the check mark from the quality control guy

I have another coin from the same box with one arm of the same V  in a different position. I  only regret paying a gov't coin premium for these and only being able to get the same return as if I paid  for generic rounds. I am just a doomsday stacker and not a coin enthusiast so the beasts are out of my range....but they are beautiful!

I just got a monster box with 159 damaged 2021 silver Britannias.........no quality control? Of course I am stuck with them. I am including a picture of the most interesting damage. It looks like the machine was eating itself while working and spitting out the pieces it couldn't digest right on the the dies. I got two coins hit with large pieces of debris. The other 157 coins have chips, impcts from reeded edges, serious rubs, etc. Well done! I am wondering if these are products of the RM or some of the ones made under contract by Silver Town here in the US under contract. 

I received this replacement 100oz Britannia bar from APMEX.  To their credit they replaced to bar without hesitation even though it's very close to spot bullion!  It did take a while as they sold out and needed to buy more.  I included a "before replacement" picture below, or you can look back in the thread history.
 

I found something on german silverforum. No more Jody Clark, David Lawrence took his shot. First proof issue, the Seymour Panther. 
 

For those who need an education in these beasts (like myself!) here’s something from Wikipedia.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Court_Palace#King.27s_Beasts
There are ten statues of heraldic animals, called the King's Beasts, that stand on the bridge over the moat leading to the great gatehouse. Unlike the Queen's Beasts in Kew Gardens, these statues represent the ancestry of King Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour. The animals are:
1. the Lion of England
2. the Seymour Lion
3. the Royal Dragon
4. the Black Bull of Clarence
5. the Yale of Beaufort
6. the White Lion of Mortimer
7. the White Greyhound of Richmond
8. the Tudor Dragon
9. the Seymour Panther
10. the Seymour Unicorn.
Quite of a few of the beasts are the same as the Queen’s Beasts. I suppose they will have different depictions for the new series. I’m also curious who the designer will be.

The Royal Mint has posted a YouTube link of a launch event for the Royal Tudor Beasts - seemingly their next series - on October 7.
 

Thought I had finished until the Completer came along…so one more still to get! It’s off to NGC already. Still - happy that I started these back in 2017

1/4oz gold QB Griffin

 
And since there was no 1/4oz gold Completer, I made my own! 🙂
