Thanks for the heads up on those coins had a little nibble earlier, didn’t think they’d be around long 👍

Good buy, something never released to the public and presented very well.

And compared to most of the Trial coins a very reasonable price

A great spot by @paulmerton

Why not attach a grade?

6 out of 8 available

No grade? Actually when you have a trial coin you will see why, when viewed under a glass they are covered in marks etc.🤔😮

Brilliant Uncirculated is the grade. It's just not a numerical one.

It's interesting that the bullion coins get graded as Brilliant Uncirculated, because they are not struck to the same standard as what the Royal Mint would ordinarily call a brilliant uncirculated coin.

How many went into your basket?
Rare to get trial coins from mint without any further minting.

It could be that lots were minted but never made available to the public. With the 2022 1oz silver Roosevelt and Churchill coins for example, the whole quantity minted was bought by a US pension company (as an investment?). The single trial piece and the ten coins that went through the trial of the pyx could be the only examples floating around in public for many years.

Just @paulmerton doing his best to spend other people's money again! 😂 

Pointed me in the direction of these earlier. Some quite interesting pieces in there.

There were 5 available mid afternoon but only purchased the one 😀

Only really grabbed one for the interest and potential rarity - would probably expect low to no minting on one of those big dinner plate coins but not a bullion 1/10

I certainly didn't have anything like that on my watchlist, but its happenned now 🤪

Was tempted to make a pairing with the 1/10 royal arms at the same price. Will see how many are left over the weekend (if any) as will probably get drawn back in

I can't work out how that's being held.

Who is holding it? Why are the hands like that? Why is there 2 hands but 1 arm?

FAKE AI

🤣🤣🤣I was the same I thought he had 6 fingers and 4 of them were about 10 inches long 😳

[Spyder]

This is now looking stupidly cheap. £5 over spot, delivered. The box and COA are worth £20 alone

Don't! I have the first gruff in gold. This would be a handy brother to it. 😅

Considering these were released to public, I don't see as much upside. 

Not to question anyone's knowledge, but are we definitely sure on this? I've been looking up on Google and can't seem to find any results, plenty of 2021 and 2020 coins come up, but nothing 2022

You could well be possibly correct, I just assumed they'd be released to follow other years.

Still not sure the year would make the same impact as never being released at all ( 1/10ths) but who knows.

Just thought it may be an interesting coin to own, I get that the 1/10th never being made available would be more desirable though 👍

You may be right (haven't checked), but I find it more exciting that a 1/10oz size has never been publicly released at all in any year.

No, wrong topic.

[paulmerton]

1/2oz RM Gold Standard bullion.

Never released to the public afaik, so these will be the only 6 coins around for a while.

Here are a couple of good deals and they work out at under spot delivered. I myself managed to get a couple of full sovereigns in pendant at £40 under spot each.  The deals are there if one makes the effort to look.

Grab them before they go. There are also couple of full sovereign in pendants with chains at just over spot

Good luck

The coin within the 9k mount is presumably 22k.

[AndrewSL76]

Not sure the coin is included. You may want to check. I think it is just the pendant being sold.

H&T employs donuts who have no idea how to list an item.  You will also see it with their Silver listings classing it as sterling when it is 999 silver. 

The coins within are 22ct. Make sure you can work out the difference between a half and a full in the pendant. Usually you can tell by the weight and size of pendant

I have bought many times from them and the coin comes with the pendant. it is the same with the sovereign ring classed as 9ct
