I’ve been collecting the QB series from the start and have noticed 

Royal Mint Bullion have just increased the premium on the 1 oz Gold QB Lion I looked at the price yesterday Afternoon and they was priced at £1030 looked again this morning with the intention of buying one but it’s now £1269

I have a silver 2oz griffin that I picked up on a whim, can't decide whether to get the others or concentrate on stacking weight as per my original plan. :unsure:

just get the cheapest for its bullion, no point to pay extra premium to get destroyed by milk spots

one or two coins to form your sets

talking abt silver

I've got the first couple of these in 1/4 gold somewhere in storage...I don't like them at all, I can't see why they have done so well!

Can anyone tell me what is attractive about these coins apart from how the price has performed? I honestly don't see it. I get the heraldic theme - but even for the historian in me it doesn't interest in the slightest. :unsure:

Lovely stuff on the jigae though @Roy, my favourite dish in the world you lucky fellow! Got the kimchi here (of course!) but missing the proper other stuff you need like the paste and powders. Hope the missus makes it strong, keeps the pecker up! :P

I smell an import/export opportunity!

impressive @sg86, how do you feel about the milk spot issue with the silver ones?

As soon as I received them I vacuum sealed them with tarnish strips and put away in storage. No idea if this helps with milk spots but not much else you can do!

How fast does a takeaway delivery to the UK take? :wacko:

Yep the UK is absolutely ripe for the picking for some Asian imports imho. The guy I get my (proper) kimchi off is making a good income. It's cheaper than the supermarket stuff but then that's comparing apples to bananas, as the supermarket rubbish is in vinegar and pasteurised - removes the whole point. This is the proper stuff but a bit salty for me (northern style). You can get the real deal in London Asian delis but not delivered to the rest of the UK. All of it costs loads compared to cheap as chips 'homemade' - good money to be made.

A lot of Japanese stuff (not just food) can only be imported from there, at a huge premium (even marked as gifts) but e.g. kids love the kiddie toys, really unique and huge appeal. A really good market still waiting to be properly tapped into imho. I was in touch with a local lady years ago who was doing that on a small scale, but just as a sdieline, maybe time to get back to her methinks...

It's eye of beholder. The light play on the Griffin feathers. The lion of England -what's not to like. Sure the unicorn is a bit you know, and the dragon is flat as a pancake, but mythical beasts how cool is that? :P

Personally I am using the series element to buying gold routinely, at the very least these are a minimum purchase each year and provides a justification for buying gold that my wife understands. ;)

Investment wise I could not care less how they do outside of spot value really, the premium at ounce size is equivalent to other coins, making the set equivalent to a tube of bullion gold Britannia's but ones I can look at every now and then while I wait for spot to do its thing.

Thanks, that seems like an excellent strategy (on a number of fronts!). I certainly see the incentive and appeal for regular saving of gold bullion close to spot but that has a theme and series.

I can imagine the design looks much grander and interesting at the ounce compared to 1/4. I'm still not sure it would grab me at all, but I guess I'll never know unless I see one at a coin fair!

Seems like the royal mint are minting these to order, let's face it the lion would be long gone by now.

When they say there's no mintage they mean it, I can see them minting all the bullion coins for the duration of the series.

Short term thinking from the royal mint yet again.
