only 5 months to get an undamaged one - is this a personal best for The Royal Mint ?  🙄🙄🙄

My replacement Silver Una and the Lion arrived today from the Royal Mint- the Una will be yesterday’s news for most here but I’ve been awaiting this one like an expectant father- looks fabulous through my tired old eyes.







 

Got a couple of 1/4 oz gold Horses (of Hanover) which should hopefully delay the four horseman for a bit....
Got lucky with the price dip and the just before change in situation with Atkinsons deliveries!
 

Postie brought me a perfect one   

Here is a larger image of the two coins 
what they are calling the perfect coin.
One that the printing on the gold is not aligned

I honestly can't see even a third of the bands you have mentioned allowing the Royal Mint to issue coins with their logos or representations on them.  Take The Beatles for example Yoko is currently fighting several lawsuits with John Lennon's children over his legacy, use of likeness, and dozens of other things, and not just by his first son Julian, but also the son he had with Yoko, Sean.  Then there is also the current hassle that Yoko is causing Ringo and Paul, after Ringo had found the tape of a song John Lennon was working on but was murdered before he finished it.  Lennon actually sent Ringo the tape asking for his input and collaboration on it, but John Lennon was murded, Ringo put it away being unable to deal with listening to the last thing one of his best friends was working on in it's raw unfinished format just before he was murdered, and over the years as time went by he forget about it and where he stored the tape for safe keeping, he recently found the tape not too long ago, got in touch with Paul, and the last two surviving Beatles finished the song - as per John Lennon's wishes for Ringo to help him with it and collaborate wih him on it, and Ringo released the song on his latest album, Yoko's still in the process of taking Ringo, and Paul to court over this.
As for The Who, given Pete Townshends legal issues from not too long ago  - remember that research he was doing for a book he was working on that never materalised, or his so called prevention program, Keith Moon's daughter Amanda would be very against it due to her fathers notorious behaviour, antics and stance, she's very protective over his legacy and wouldn't allow anything that would even slighly tarnish his antiestablishment reputation, Entwistle originally left The Who on very very unfriendly terms, he was very reluctingly dragged into preforming wih them again shortly before his death in 2001, he died in 2002, Daltrey is the only one I could see allowing it to be done, but he is very very protecive over his image, so he would want to practically design the coin himself just incase they used something he didn't consider flattering enough.
As for Led Zepplin, just look at the reason why they broke up, and other than their disastrous preformance in Philadelphia with Phil Collins on drums - it was the American version of Bob Geldof's and Midge Ure's Live Aid Phil Collins preformed first at Wembley Stadium before being jetted off on a charered concorde flight to preform with Led Zepplin in Philadelphia until recently as in until Youtube took off it was impossible to see this preformance unless you where there it was never released on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD... it was that bad Paige and Plant did everything that they could to prevent it's release even Phil Collins called the preformance an absolute nightmare and disaster, and a few gigs - not even a full tour tour with Bonham's son on drums have refused to play as or reform Led Zepplin - they would be nothing more than a cover band constently playing songs they wrote in their heyday and would never be allowed to play, write or record any new material, Paige actually stated that was the reason for retiring Led Zepplin, not just the death of the irreplaceable Bonham.
There are also los of reason's why I can't see the Rolling Stones allowing it to happen - how many people here can even name their drummer, piano player or bass player without using Professor Google.  Watts was replaced until recently, and people don't know these musicians and a host of other musicians who where with the Rolling Stones at the start and who have been replaced by either temps or new full time members over the years.  There is a reason why the focus is purely on Jagger, Richards and Wood, Jones has been practically written ou of the Rolling Stones history - something that really really upset Wyman especially when the blue plaque commemorating the forming of the Rolling Stones was put up at that train station hell he even walked out on the Stones decades ago, yet I bet nobady here can name who eventually became his full time replacement without the help of Professor Googlde, and there have literally been dozens of temp replacements, before they finally settled on a full time replacement and he gets no publicity
I can also see dozens of reasons hy I can't see Pink Floyd allowing it to happen, especially coming from the Barrett estate.  Gilmore, and Walters wouldn't let him leave the band, he was even begging to leave Pink Floyd, he had to force his way out by writting a song - I think it was called ''Have You Got It Yet'', that was so complex and kept changing that it couldn't be finished yet alone recorded before Gilmore and Walters finally got the hint that Barrett wanted nothing more to do with the band, and that if they wouldn't let him leave, he'd take the entire band down with him.
As a self confessed music junkie and a huge Stones, Zepplin and Beatles fan, I'd love to see these coins happening, christ knows that I've spent a fortune over the years on instruments and items actually used by these bands, but I can't see it happening.

She is without question the best but my guess is she won't break cover her life is hers.
