I will maybe attempt all numbers for a certain year

I'm looking at collating the information for a database, had the idea a few weeks ago but the amount of work is a little daunting, we'll see

Go for it, I think the smallest number of die numbers is the sixpence, there are many more for the sovereigns!

A database would be very valuable, I did this for the sixpences trying to record all mentions of each die number (auctions, dealers, Ebay) and get scans of everything so I didn't have to actually buy it! This should be alot easier with photos of coins up for sale/auction now being the norm? In addition to the Bentley Collection, Tony Claytons web page on die numbers would be a good start (not complete though)

An ebay purchase from over the weekend showed up today. 100.00 dollar's off with ebay bucks.

Not sure on the mintage of the Queens Beast ¼ proof.

 500 disappeared from the amount available. About six days later the remainder vanished and they became no longer available. Within hours they were sold out everywhere.

2500 is correct on the 1/4 ounce proof.

That was the figure but they did not sell the 2500. Sales were very slow then they just went overnight. A bit like the silver proof 95% sold then sold out. Two days later 1200 back in stock.

I live just down the road from the mint they are very cagey regarding this coin. I have two on back order and cant get much sense out of them. Also I know others who are waiting and going by what my friend was told they have been pulled.

Maybe they actually did a proper quality check and weren't happy with the condition of the the majority of coins, that and slow sales so they pulled them

It’s looking like that is what’s going on. I wonder if they will reappear.

Not uncommon by any means, I have a few.
It can be interesting to see how many consecutive letters or numbers are affected.
I have tried to get my head around how some of them can occur in the way they do but some have me baffled.

Picked up my Krugerrand's from the PO today , well pleased what an awesome coin. Again thanks for sharing  @silverstackeruk .

[IOSILVER]

Today I received a proof queens beast lion of england proof 1oz, which has very weird silver flecks over the design. Very disappointed. Will have to get a replacement.

Never mind good luck finding it on the RM site ...I can't even find it on Google..

[Micky9776]

Today I received a 10 oz lunar 2 monkey to finish of the type set, been on the look out for a while now and it finally showed up on chards at a very reasonable price compared to other German dealers. 

I also recieved the box for them to go in, I am really happy with the box, it makes the set look that extra bit special! 

I might have to start with the rest of the sets now lol but there is too many series's out there and I can't collect them all
