Unfortunately, the next one will probably be Buckingham palace.

Ironically, the home of the above-mentioned Queen’s Bras.

i quite like this series.................... and will be getting a few of each. that said i do own a tokelau coin also, which speaks volumes 

[Thelonerangershorse]

Time for a new thread, "What's the most embarrassing coin you own?...."

Anyone want to confess to a tube of zombiedogs?

I reckon the queen does not wear a bra, she goes commando.

 is that the coin that I put a pic of on here, my daughter likes that coin, reckons it looks like her dog 

At the end of the day they are all 999 silver and thats the reason we collect them as an investment, and if only a few people like them thats totally fine, I always remember saying this to a group of nobends at college,

'you all laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at all of you because you are all the same'.

I agree with you all, the series could and should have been so much greater. Would have a great year to do a series on the UK (Royal Weddings etc.) displaying the best of the best. London centric, well what do you expect? Typical in my opinion. So many more fabulous places they could have show-cased. The quality certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

Hopefully they will up their game in future and take note of what other producers and doing.

Not sure how well a 'Bra and Undies' series would do, but for you men, it could be popular?

I'm sure if the royal mint decided there was money to be made they'd give it a try, I'd stay clear of privy marks though.

Deliberate pun or happy accident?

[caloundracats]

Hahaha, I would say @Thelonerangershorse made a deliberate pun?

[Bagenz]

I agree with most of what is said above, I think its possible the design looks great on paper but not in Silver, looking at the dog coin also is a poor design, first glance looks like a kids drawing,

Im new to the coin collecting game but the Queens beasts 10 oz coins to me are a work of art and make you want to buy them. These coins are not astheistically pleasing and a bit of an insult to anywhere outside of London, as somebody above stated these are ideal for the tourist market or those that need to buy one of everything released

[richatthecroft]

Ok, not as nicely or as intricately designed or as cleanly pressed as some coins such as the Queen’s Beasts series however, there are far worse coins on the market.  

I’m in the minority here, but I like them.  

In terms of future premiums, earlier this year the Royal Mint were ominously selling them off at low premium.  I was surprised today, having completed a cursory search on eBay to see the average price pegged for either of the two already released coins at around the £27 mark and none for sale for less than £24.  Atkinson’s have the Tower Bridge for £25.60and the Big Ben at £28.75. 

I often flip an odd coin or two on eBay, and these always sold very well indeed. 

[SILVERFINGER]

It could be foreign collectors who like them most, you only have to see some of the patriotic tourist tatt that gets sold in huge amounts at a craft centre near where I live, much as its claimed the Americans like our royal family.

[Foolssilver]

Timing is a big factor I think

They are released at similar times to QBs but also oriental brits and two dragons coins more recently. 

Its competitve and I sense this series just hasn’t grabbed attention compared to competitor series 

[jayboat]

I like this series because it is something other than animals. Being from the UK also plays a role. I do however think that they are little over priced and will surly fall in value is does most royal mint stuff. I only buy the one of each just to have. 

[AgD]

I must say that I am too one of the few that actually likes this series I've got 2 of Trafalgar square on the group order ? to carry on with 2 of each for the series.

That said what is everyone's take on getting a set graded once finished ?

[DrKarlMoneys]

I kind of see what people are saying about them looking like tourists postcards, I still like the Trafalgar square design, though. DOn't necessarily mind the cloud effects, they were based off water colours and I can't blame them for trying something a bit different, even if they didn't turn out to be such a hit.

Haven't seen the Sharps Pixley bars, I'll look them up.

[Coolsmp]

Just noticed a tiny bit of milk spotting on my Tower Bridge coin.. thats not good🤨

[gsimpson]

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but is there a presentation case for the 4 coins? 

TIA

These featureless coins belong in souvenir shops selling cheap bric-à-brac to tourists. The object on the column in the Trafalgar Square coin looks nothing like Nelson. Truly terrible designs.
