New Great engravers page up on the RM site.
 
Getting incredibly excited for this.  No doubt I will miss out this time!

This is my Una. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Una is my best friend. It is my life. 😉😂

Is this the last coin, or is this fantasy?
Caught in a Mint 'queue', can't escape web reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
May be a poor strike, we'll get no sympathy
Mintage 'easy come, easy go'
Far too high, far too low
So nevermind the mintage
Doesn't really matter to me, to me
The Mint, just $%^&ed up release
Put 'Innovations' on the coin
I pulled the trigger, now its mine
Mama - series just began!
But now they've gone and thrown it all away all of us are going to make a shedload of money on the first one
Royal Mint, ooh, ooh
You didn't mean to make me cry
But if I'm not back again next time for the next 'proof'
Carry on, carry on as if QC doesn't matter
Too late, the coin has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Quality's lacking all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to grade...
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth!
Mama, ooh (anyway the grade goes) I don't want to sell
I sometimes wish I'd never bought this at all!
 
Etc etc etc (radio version edit fades out here ).
 
 

Same here. I was really trying to keep an eye out for this release too. Mildly annoying. 

Courtesy of @Madstacks. Both functional and considerably more attractive than tubes of milky Maples.

Well golden Una is finally departing my hands for the foreseeable future, away to safe deposit box for the long term today. 
I took a few photos for insurance cover and for file proofs/backup etc.  Thought I would share them before she goes
Beautiful coin - the highlight of my stack and fingers crossed will prove a great long term investment to hold onto

It’s one of the most beautiful coins I have ever owned. I have had some stunning coins in the past but this one really is absolutely beautiful. I reluctantly sold some previously but I don’t think I’ll ever sell this one. 
I looked at it under a strong light this morning and the detail is simply stunning. It’s beyond doubt perfect and would grade PF70. 
My only quibble in the whole matter is how the coin was delivered. Flimsy cardboard and a really evil capsule!!! Took me so long to open it without damaging either the capsule or the coin......what on earth is wrong with a screw cap?? 

Got my Silver Una and the Lion yesterday. I spent ages looking at it with a loupe, it’s amazingly beautiful. That ‘soft’ proof finish is gorgeous, but I’m not sure if they have used the same finish On the Queens head side??
 
 This is the best coin that I own, and with my recent purchases from the mint I wish I had Not bothered, saved them all up, and gone for the gold. I would be quite happy if it was the only coin I owned. 
 
A marvellous coin. Well done to the mint for this one and I’m looking forward to the next in the series. Hopefully it’s a while so I can get saving!
