PhilB

I cannot believe that these coins have not had the better ones picked out!! 
I also rsceived the silver 2oz portrait coin today which like the QA coin appears to have been packed in a talcum powder factory!! The capsule was open on the portrait and I will certainly never buy another silver proof coin frtom RM again. Gold only which shows what quality they are capable of producing. I believe theseto be the remnants after picking for grading or dealers possibly. Never again. 
Why can I buy Perth mint nonproof or Munich mint products such as the Somalian elephants at a fraction of the cost of these proofs with quality far superior?? 
The silver portraits we have seen on here today looks like the trainee dept have been left alone with no supervision! 
Very disappointing, pre selected silver coins I suspect, and not for me! 

Lovely collection! Thanks for posting. 

It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that i couldn't exactly tell you the RRP, or if i actually did or did not know the RRP before purchasing on the secondary market...That may be partially or impartially correct, or incorrect. On the contrary i am possibly more or less sure the Mint sold it cheaper to a dealer, and i am possibly or not possibly rejecting the idea that i am, in no way responsible for my financial decision's, based upon my prior, or not prior knowledge, i undeniably do or not know what the RRP was you see. How could i foresee? Do you understand now @James32, or do i need to repeat myself?

My set is complete! To say I'm very, very happy is an understantment 😂
Few bits of dust on the capsules I've not cleaned off yet, though the coins are perfect.
 
 

They are beautiful!!
Both a Nice investment and a Stunning sight! 

At last, the set is complete! I'm incredibly happy with these two coins, words/pictures don't do them justice!
 
 

Perfect delivery to start the day.
What.

Just launched on the Royal Mint site, currently orderable with shipping from 15 Feb:

The third (and last) in the series?

Also available in silver, of course: https://www.royalmint.com/invest/bullion/bullion-coins/silver-coins/little-john-2022-1oz-silver-bullion-coin/

2022 1oz Bullion Ronseal   Nothing to get too excited about in this wee collection, although it is good to see that both the Elephants' legs all reach the ground. So much more fortunate than several African leaders who disagreed with the 'flu-like pandemic that never wrought havoc across the continent. Their refusal to deceive their own people most certainly did not result in their assassinations. Just accidents, coincidences and "covid". They were not hanged for their opposition.   The Kook is good but does lend more than a nod to the 2020 RAM WMF 1oz coin. The vast majority of both 2021/22 Kookaburras are believed to have badly damaged and deformed, this following encounters with Queensland Police when the coins were being transported across State boundaries. Just doing their job.   It is well worth picking up a New Zealand 2020 Penguin. I agree with many that it the pictures do not to its 3-d effect justice. At around £30 and with a mintage of just 25,000 it is considerably better value than most 2022 bullion. Having been under 25,000 miles from somebody who coughed in 2020, most of the issue still have another 12 years quarantine still to complete. Coins are not legally allowed to be reimported to NZ due to the menacing risk of mass extermination of the already extinct bird.   The Maples continue to portray ERII in the most beguiling of fashions. She must be well chuffed. The only surprising element is that fascist Dictator Justin Castro didn't insist on the coin bearing his own portrait. This before he went into hiding from the Canadian people.   The Philly is yet one more Austrian Enigmatic Variation and can now only be purchased upon production of a vaccine passport, the sporting of a fylfot and the bellowing of three "Sieg Heils". Rumours of a forthcoming "Yellow Star privy" edition have not been confirmed.  

@BarryWoods Have you seen the quality control on items from thr rm?
Dings,scratches and milk spots on coins. Capsules left open. Poor quality presentation cases.
The rm is not a luxury goods company. They are the same type of company that Del Boy Trotter used back in the day. Remember the size of those mobile phones?
Rolls Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin are prestige companies. 
audi, apple and the royal mint are NOT!
If you want to eat in a macdonalds, burger king or kfc then go right ahead, I won't be bumping into you when i'm eating in Miller & Carter or The Ivy
A company that says they are quality is a company that does not believe in their product, and one to stay away from.
1000 years of c**p is not true but sure does look like it most of the time.
 

Ask for 2 please and what about some original 1989 sovs?

Presumably the portrait will also be available on the secondary market 😐
 

Anne and her minions are smashing their TSF mugs in a Welsh car park right about now😁

sounds like the best solution for everyone. 
it would require mint production dept to keep up with the marketing team, which they appear unable to do!!!

Or just sell them as a pair in the first place for £500 in one presentation box

Duh. I think no general release but continuation allocated and A. M. Sales only for the portrait! 

Looks like you are on the path to rehab! Most of us are still in denial 😂😂

We have all been fooled, sitting here like loons clicking refresh like some craving drug addicts 😂

December 2021: ‘I hate this queue system. Why don’t the Mint sort it out!’
February 2022: ‘What’s going on! Where is the queue system?’

This lovely 800 year old Medieval gold annular brooch was found by a very lucky detectorist in March 2021 as its classed as treasure it will probably go to a museum , with a value said to be in the high thousands shared between the finder and landowner 👍
Its weight is 5.77grams was made between 1150 and 1350AD
Highly decorated in medieval lettering , spelling out messages to word off illness 
 

I missed out on the arms due to unscrupulous multibagging. After speaking to a sexy lady at the mint who sounded like she had big melons, I have been assured that I will most likely miss out on the portrait 🤨

Then there is the stress of waiting to see if the money is taken/orders confirmed/post delivered.
Speaking of which, I have a good joke about the Royal Mail, but I don’t think you’ll get it.

Only if you wear them. Over your face. Skidmarks on the nose!
