I think the series cancellation could amount to the latest move in RM wokeness. We’ve had Afro-Caribbean looking Britannias and rainbow type coin issues in the past amongst others.
A lot of people want to ditch the monarchy and this could be classic virtue signalling from the RM by ditching the Monarchs coin series too. How long before we see a black, green and red flag coin?
Go woke. Go broke.

I’ve not bought any of the series but I appreciate that just about everyone on this thread is gutted and angry. Credit to BYB for giving his feedback to the RM with both barrels.

NEW COIN COMING SOON!!!
The Monarch series  incompleter coin!  
 
 
 
 

Aka the s..t  they can’t sell……
 

The thing that doesn’t seem to make sense is the potential damage they’re doing to their brand.
They’ve stopped the series part way through, what’s to say that they won’t do this again with any future series?
People will likely be thinking twice before getting invested in a future series.
The British Monarchs was always going to be difficult for most people to complete in its entirety. It’s a pity RM didn’t foresee this and I feel for people who’ve been loyal to this series since the start.

Yep happened before As i have the box and part set in the draw lol.
What with the greed and the time they ****ed me over three times,it's been going down hill for ages now.
I 100% think they are going down the route of them scammy coin companies,ie grandad bought 40k of coins worth 3k.
and ads in the paper for ripoff coins etc.
they are already selling junk old coins for huge mark ups.ie scamming people that don't know any better.

Bloody shame as the queen Victoria in gold would have been nice for the collection, and the 2026 QEII coin.  

I can't speak for anyone else obviously - but the reason I'm so outraged by this decision is that I accept the risk I'm taking when buying limited edition proof products at circa four times spot price - which the market may not value in future and decide they're only worth semi-numismatic bullion prices at best. On the flip side, if I'm lucky, the coin(s) will do well and the investment will be successful. That's the risk I'm happy to take. I was new to stacking/collecting when I joined the British Monarchs bandwagon and, whilst I was as aware then as I am now of the risks outlined above, it never occurred to me that it would be The Royal Mint themselves who'd pull the rug from under our feet and scupper my investment. I fear this series will lose money big time and the the bulk of the coins will end up on sites like Crawley Coins and Britannia Coin Co at discount prices. (No offense to either company - I've bought from both of them.)
I feel strongly that I/we invested in the RM by backing this series and the unwritten (sadly) deal is that they back us by sticking to their end of the bargain by producing the coins they said they would. We have a raw deal as it is in that we don't get to see any visuals in advance and invest in good faith, hoping and praying  that the designs will be good and well received when they come out. Additionally, we take the risk of not being able to buy the products on the launch day because this too is kept from us until the last minute. (I had a day surgery appointment in Oct' 2022 at the exact time of the launch of one of the coins and, by the time my wife got home from dropping me off at hospital with instructions of what to buy, the coin I wanted had sold out.)
In short, the RM show little short of complete contempt for their customers and have completely lost my respect and confidence; I won't be buying anything more from them ever again - 'I'm out'.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 😡
 

It is no longer commercially viable for me to buy anything from the Royal Mint.

Told you
Shambles
Massive rant incoming

“We are committed to offering our customers premium products and services, and we want to offer a solution that recognises your loyalty to this collection.”
Like what? 🫥

I find Sotd for anniversaries just not as compelling as the actual event. 

Yeah. About a year ago when I was in a FB group the asking price for these was £2K (and they were selling).

thanks for looking 👍

Many of their lots are a bit messed up - their description states one thing but the image is of another coin.
See the 1oz gold proof Lion of England for example - the image is of the Seymour Panther. 🫥
They’ll probably fix them but it’s odd to even have wrong listings go live. 

Is it an auction, a silent auction, or one of those half and half jobbies where they ask people for more money if they are winning but think they aren’t paying enough?

Yeah. Lucky him.
