Hello and welcome to the forum. 

This place is an absolute wealth of knowledge!.....you'll also be able to pick yourself up a cheeky wee bargain here and there too 👍🏻

That's a hell of a price for the Gold Standard 2020 @paulmerton, hatton garden metals is always somewhere I forget to check for bullion deals as anytime I have had a peek they always seems kinda pricey! Certainly not this time though. 

@FFposh do you have 4x2020 or the 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020?

I have the 18, 19 & 20....on the look out for the 16 at a good price! To answer your initial question though, if you have a date run then I would definitely keep hold. I have a sneaky suspicion that something is going on with them. So if they do go End Of Life that may increase the value slightly over time. That and I think they're stunning anyway 😊

One gold and more silver 😍😍😍😍

These catch my eye every time I see one!....beyond me why I've still not added one to my stack. Nice pick up 👍🏻

The Gold Standard Coin is one of the most underrated in my opinion........they're stunning in hand. 

Disappointingly though the RM have decided not to release a 2021 1/4oz bullion version. Even though the thing was listed on their site, albeit very briefly! But apparently that was a mistake too 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

I'm a little concerned they may go end of life.

Really not a fan of the Silver Proof version of these at all (hoping for a bullion option) but I must admit that 1/4oz Au has caught my attention! Absolutely stunning piece...offt!

As far as I've read so far they've said there will be bullion coins but I don't think specific sizes have been mentioned. That being said the QB 2oz coins were such a hit I think its a safe bet they'll do them for this series.

In the QB series I personally preferred the bullion and if the design goes the same way I might form the same opinion for these. The proof QB coins looked plain in comparison to the bullion ones given the lack of any background on them. That being said the frosted proof finish is lovely. I also hope they keep on with the 10oz bullion as although I had no interest in collecting the set of those coins in that format I did buy my favourite ones since that larger format was amazing for the details. We'll see what comes!

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Every one else seems to have been preoccupied looking at their own reflections in their proof finishes.....I'm just messing peeps 😉

I completely agree @AppleZippoandMetronome the frosted coins were stunning. Like you though, I preferred the bullion QB over the proof and as you say the 2oz bullions were massive for the RM so I am hoping they will replicate in this series, fingers crossed! I of course collected the complete 2oz QB Set and would love to do the same with this one 🤞🏻

Thanks again for the reply 👍🏻

Apologies if I missed the answer to this question somewhere but will there be a good ol' fashioned 2oz Bullion version released??

I mean don't get me wrong I'm pretty tight anyway but more so that 'proofs' most definitely don't float my boat at all 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not going to help you I'm afraid bit I did receive these beauties from 2017, 18 and 19 last month. 

I managed to pick up my 2018 and 2019 to complete my wee mini run but your pick ups are stunning! Nice one 👍🏻

Love these!! If you ever feel that 4 are too many, my stack definitely needs one in it  😁  😉

Modest 1 oz Gold Brit purchase thanks to @BleyerBullion decided the kids are both going to have a Brit set each in a walnut box; after that they can decide what they want to collect in the future. Just 2 gaps to fill now.

Love this idea......hmmmm could I now have a new mini project for my two wee monsters 🤔

Can I ask where you picked up the walnut boxes from @ZigZag  they look great 👍🏻

With there being so many unanswered questions so far, I think perhaps at this stage I'd be looking to confirm if I have at least got a pure 1oz bar of silver in my hand or not. This just seems to be the only thing you can do that will at least return an accurate answer either way. 

Now what you need to do is find a forum member that has a Sigma who would be willing to lend a hand. 

There are definitely a few folk on here that have them 🤔

@BullionMan89 see above, I know you had some in hand and for sale 👍🏻

Found the buggers

Scottsdale bars here 👆🏻 @paulmerton

Not sure how much you paid on ebay but these would give you that direct comparison you're after.....and another piece of silver for the stack......win win no 🤷🏻‍♂️   😉

I'm almost positive someone was selling some bars recently on the forum and there were a few of the Scottsdales in there too. I'll have a little look and see if I can find the listing 👍🏻

Pick yourself up a wee rare earth magnet (neodymium) @paulmerton and see if she sticks to that sucker like glue. They are handy we things to have just for a quick check and they will pick out the poorer fakes for fun and a slide test will also give an inclination too.

2021 Mexican libertad 5oz. My first ever 5oz silver coin. 

I've a feeling it won't be your last either! Stunning pick up 👍🏻

Hi @Rob64,

Unless you're buying this Lion to complete your own current collection I personally wouldn't spend 2 grand on it! Pick up the QB completer which is stunning plus a 2021 sov and put £300 back in your pocket. 

Just my thoughts for what they are worth, one stacker to the other. 

Happy stacking man 👍🏻
