Queens Beast Falcon 1/4 oz Gold Bullion

[gsimpson]

Greetings

I realise it is this month that this coin will become available to purchase, and I have seen it coininvest so far has anyone else seen it on any other retailer located in the UK, I'd like to be able to compare prices between a few retailers before purchasing from the first.

 

With thanks to the forum

Same here ordered the 1/4 ounce falcon from Atkinson’s bullion last night. Was the only place I could find it.

I've been waiting for this coin to come and excited about it too but I wouldn't hurry, i'll wait until its properly out there.

so the falcon bullion coins are officially on the royal mint's website now.

Ah, nice one thanks, it looks like the pricing is going to be very similar between all the suppliers... no deals to be had yet anyway :/

For the 1/4 ounce, RMB is 50p more expensive than Atkinsons so RMB would be my choice if buying from the UK as RMB would include one of their capsules.  They also have a much better return policy.

@morezone 

I would have agreed with you up until a couple of weeks ago! RMB is far from hassle-free ordering, my Queens Beast Griffin arrived 1st Sep, it had a mark on it, so I called RM and asked the procedure behind returning an item, they informed me to just post it back to a FREEPOST address no insurance or tracking! It was only confirmed on Monday 10th Sep they had it back in their possession! An agonising week of waiting there for me :/ So anyway today I called them to see when I might be getting the replacement sent out, as they were saying the coin was with quality control (huh, should have maybe spent this amount of time with them before sending it out and we wouldn't be where we are today), but they would see what they could do for me, lunchtime I get a call back informing me that the coin will be sent out again today, by normal first class postage - again no insurance (it's a £300 coin). So I should expect it anytime in the next 48 hours, most likely Saturday she said!

they have their own insurance so you don't need to worry about how they post the coin to you . But return item always use special delivery they will pay you back the postage cost , the address is on the return slip 

when you return a coin they will take a week or so to check you coin because there must be someone send them fake coins etc , and it is a BULLION coin so 99.99% of time there will be marks , if you want 70 then it is better off to buy a tube and return a tube full otherwise you will have to  keep on returning them

Sorry to hear that, hope it all comes good

The Mint are used to returns (!) and I would guess are more accommodating with bullion returns than most other companies (?).

Never use the Freepost address though! Agree to/insist on sending it by SD, with them to refund postage, in advance. You might have to chase them up for the postage refund, but at least you have total peace of mind.

Yep, I had a problem with the Griffin ( red spot on face ) but they said send it SD and then got a refund on the postage. 

[fehk2001]

yea you don't even need to contact them just send them back with SD , after a couple of weeks they will send out replacement 

address on the return slip and don't forget to include return slip in ur package 😂

I ordered mine from Germany a couple of days ago for £266 delivered.  I don't grade the bullion so I'm not too fussed as I'm expected light marks on the queen anyway. Only thing is it will be a few weeks as it has to make it through the supply chain to Germany and then back again.

Good to know, cheers! Personally I'd still clear it with them by phone first, it only takes a couple of minutes, and they add a note to your account recording it. I've still had to chase them up on pre-agreed postage refunds so I may be too careful, but like I say it's only a few minutes on the phone in advance

Mine only a minute haha and works every time 

just input something on the return slips 

Save time for both side

Speaking is quicker than writing for me, so I just put' as discussed with (person/date) who said my postage costs would also be refunded'

You should have put 'this Star Wars privy is not very exciting, can I have Yoda next time please?' (Joke!)

I can’t because I was ordering the coin again make sure the coins are good enough first before I points out the star war privy 

and after the star war privy news the coin sold out within hours so yea good decision

A few months ago I ordered several of the gold bullion Queen's Beasts from Baird & Co (www.bairdmint.com) and was very happy with the quality of the coins.
