Nice. Where is that photo from? eBay, CC, BCC, or a website? Not seen it until you posted it 👌 nice!

Looks like they are from the Japanese Yahoo auction site. He posted a link a few comments above that didn't show up until now for some reason. There are a few listings there from Japanese sellers, which is interesting.

Here's the link again in case: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u417342489

Wonder what the sale price on those will be when they are offered retail?

Alderney 5 pound 2020 the three graces gold coin

Looks so much better in gold. Will this be a BCC exclusive as well?

How can we find out if bullion is not in the £1 deal ?

Any restrictions should be under the details, you might have to click the "Learn More" button if there is one. I don't have the offer here so am unable to check myself.

EDIT: After looking at the image the link "T&C's Apply" might be where you can find out.

That might not include coins/bullion though. They typically leave that out for similar promotions on US ebay which is always a bummer. Must be one of their most profitable categories.

This one is going to be an epic one. This has genuine worldwide interest for very few coins, assuming the RM haven’t ramped the mintage up and nobody will know until they appear online, whenever that is.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited for it, love the design. But I'm already sweating it too, ha!

You get put in an online queue...it will run into the many thousands ! It will be nutso from past popular releases.

Ah, sounds like fun, haha. Have mixed feelings about the queue type systems, been through it with some other releases.

Just now, Paul said:

you will needs an account set up prior or you'll miss out for sure, RM have a queue system for launch days when site traffic is huge  

Do you know if the queue is randomized or more of a first come first serve system? Thanks for the info, btw.

given the dispatch date is from NON 1st feb 

one can maybe prersume the RM release will be either this Monday coming or 1st Feb 

1st Feb most likely - 1st day, start of month ? big launch? hype up? cant recall anything else BIG due from Royal Mint soon ??

Speaking of which, I've never ordered directly from the Royal Mint before. Is the site expected to crash like the US Mint site always does?

Think I've heard they use a queue system but not quite sure how that will work.

I honestly think them all being 70's is a bit of a downside. A perfect grade like that needs lesser grades in comparison to carry a premium.

Didn't the Alderney Una and the Lion do fairly well though? Obviously not as crazy as the RM but still went for multiples over sale price?

Looks like one just sold but can't see the best offer price that was accepted.

Couldn't make up my mind on this one and wound up passing but don't feel great about it now, haha. Just a few things threw me off, I don't like that they are all 70's for instance.

I'm in the US too so the added cost of shipping and exchange rates put it about 100pounds out of my price range. Probably should have grabbed one and given myself another week or so to think about it.

EDIT: And another one just sold for 850pounds.

Are all 1000 going to be 70's?

Haven't ever used this company but they have a decent deal on a silver eagle/maple leaf starter pack. 4oz total.
