Does it kind of feel like there's not as much hype this go around?
Also do we think there will be a 10oz silver available tomorrow or will those only be available to those with account managers?
-
Will there be extra high quality control on this release? Seemed even the Sovereign had issues this year which was disappointing.

So far, the Royal Mint has not introduced milk spotting on gold coins, (but they may have a secret department working on it).
Now, it they would just add a little silver to the sovereign alloy... 😎
What about scratches and contact marks? Are they far less prevalent than the silver proofs? Would hope with the higher price on gold proofs that the QC would be stricter but not exactly the case with the US Mint.

How is the quality control on proof sovereigns? Are there nearly as many issues as a silver proof?

@dicker On the 999 silver, yes. It is particularly blotchy and has some scratches to the edge. But it's the pig privy edge Britannia which is quite a rare coin and of the few that I've seen pop up on ebay, they've all been flawed with milk spots, scratches, dings etc anyway. The way I see it, my coin has flaws that are meant to be there as part of the Pyx process.
Also, I have a .925 silver Kew Gardens which has fingerprints, but nowhere near as prominent as the Britannia. I can't see the edge on this one because of how it sits in the holder with a foam insert around it. For all I know, it could have holes in the edge 😂. I'm considering having it conserved to reduce/remove the prints but either way, I'm very fond of it regardless.
I guess you should choose accordingly with Pyx coins. You do have the RM returns policy If you don't like how they appear once delivered. I made my purchases based on the coins themselves. I'm really pleased with the Pyx factor. It adds a more exclusive feel to them but I wouldn't buy them on that alone. I would only buy Trial of the Pyx if there is a pre-conceived interest in the coin itself. That said, it wouldn't amaze me if Pyx coins generally become more popular in future...
How did you get ahold of the kew gardens? Thought they were listed but never available?

Sorry I missed seeing this post yesterday.
I’m not sure about the value of these 50ps as I don’t really have an interest in this range.
I'm curious as well as to why the Kew Gardens became so sought after. Nice coin but I'm not overly familiar with 50p's.

For anyone interested the lunar edge Britannia from Trial of the Pyx is available again.

From what I saw almost all the coins were limited in number to 6-8.

Has anyone else not received thier order?? I am due a 2oz & its still not showed up?
Im starting to think that when they went back on resale after being 'sold out' that was a mistake.I think I remember that when the 2oz went back on sale the delivery date was well into next month? Can anyone confirm?
-
I bought a 1oz Yale of Beaufort proof. Will be my first Trial of the Pyx purchase ever.

Is the Welsh Dragon the one that was only available through the Royal Mint Experience?
-
-
That was a few days ago though. Maybe some other designs? Strange time for the queue.
-
Anyone know what's going on today at the Royal Mint and why the queue is still up?

Any ideas as to whether the Sovereign release or Great Engravers release will happen first?

According to my scales the gold plated on silver decoration is 26.02 grams, so presumably it is 26 grams of silver and 0.02 grams of gold plate?
Regarding the impact on the branch of a Christmas Tree - it is back to the philosophical question of how big is a Christmas Tree!
Thanks for the picture! Is the back of the ornament just a flat surface? Interesting the image on the Royal Mint's website doesn't show the stamp markings.

2oz and 5oz silver now gone.
-
Surprised everything is still available. Got the 1oz silver but debating the 2oz and 5oz.

forgive if being silly but whats the difference 2oz:
I think one is a subscription to all the other coins in the series, based on the description?

So for those asking, I could only get the trick to work on the phone, and I had to use a bookmarked link, then once you get to search, search for Tudor. They all come up.
Coins on the website include:
5 oz Silver 387.50
2 oz Gold 4650
2 oz Silver 154
1 oz Silver 79.17
1 oz Gold 2440
You can order the following via your account manager if you have one..
10 oz Silver
2 Kg Silver
1 Kg Silver (didn't ask, but assume)
5 oz Gold (didn't ask, but assume)
It just shows prices right? Or were you actually able to order without being in queue?

Your trick worked!! Had the shopping cart all figured out and ran into the same trouble I've been getting on the BU site, can't add a new card.. web bug. Ugh! Thankfully my account manager got things ordered, but sure does take the fun out of waiting up to order this stuff.
What's the trick? haha

So no silver pain edge? That would have been awesome.
