Any ideas on release date for this? What an incredible coin. I hope its not due for a while, will need to save a bit for this.

Received my 5oz. At first inspection I am very very happy, likewise with the 2oz. Some marks on the edge lettering but I think this on the plastic holder

Here is mine if anyone is curious

 

Holy moly what a beaut of a coin 

Has anyone had a 5 oz dispatched yet?

My 5oz appears to be holding my 2oz coin hostage. Cant wait to see this coin in the flesh, photos so far look amazing

It's been a while since I've had a fun morning with the RM and following the 'hot thread' on here. We'll see what turns up and how many times it has to go back. I got through straight away on my main browser, but saw 812 on my other. Those days of being 35k in the queue are long gone it seems.

The glory days of proof coins will return sir

No queue number...

4 browsers open, primed and ready to go

When does the queue start 

I will not be queuing and suggest you all do likewise 😆

Neither will my wife be in the queue

Some old silver again:

.900 and .925.🥰

 

Some lovely bits there. Do you know how much you paid per gram or per ounce?

I think we will see a proper scramble for these. Hopefully back to 3000 mintage!

At some point we have to trust something in this world lads. They would be in serious trouble if they were inflating

Hi Paul did you catch the hammer price for this lot?

Thanks all for the comments. Very interesting. They have to go with Pistrucci...

Lets hope that when financial conditions improve for the nation that people return to collecting these types of series! My mortgage rate goes up soon and then I will have no spare cash for coins or crypto.

Good afternoon all,

I would like to gather the most esteemed opinions on the internet regarding this topic, from the best forum around.

This series started off so well, the Una and the Lion release strongly followed by the Three Graces. Since then, sentiment towards the series seems to have decreased, with the latest release, the Petition Crown, still available to buy direct from The Royal Mint. 

I know there have been concerns regarding the 2-coin issues, but isn't this required as the coins must have the current monarch on the obverse? Therefore to get both the obverse and reverse, the two coins would be necessary. In my opinion it worked quite well on the Gothic Crown, the depiction of Queen Victoria is stunning. 

Is it the designs? The price? Quality issues? The extra coin weights added post-Una? Something else?

Personally I find all the designs quite spectacular, I am yet to add the petition crown to my collection but I definitely will.

In your opinion, what does the series need to revive it to former glory?

I hear rumours of the George and Dragon design being the next release, hopefully this signals the Pistrucci Great Engraver era of coins and will go some way to achieving that, he has some phenomenal designs.

Cheers Paul

Wow there are certainly bidders around in the right markets!

Is that Hansons auction house the chap from TV's Bargain hunt? I suppose he would be well trusted.

Has anyone seen a 2019 Una and the Lion PF70 sell recently? Cant seem to find the current going rate

Just a standard BU set for me. I like the designs on the whole, the 50p salmon is a bit… different.

Tempted by some of the other limited sets but just couldn’t pull the trigger. Gold set is currently all reserved, that was pretty expensive.

It looks like the new £1 coin will have a pair of bees on it, so maybe that plan got shelved!

I see James Dyson went to the same design school so maybe we will finally have the great vacuum cleaner immortalised on a coin!

Hello all, I’ve been a long time away. Been lurking for a bit but not posting. Hope all are well.

Is anyone aware of exactly what sets and their numbers are going to be released later? 
 

Thanks
