Oh really. Do I just go on royal mint website. Assume it will appear for sale from midnight as there is nothing in there about it today

Yes log on before midnight, settle down and let the fun commence. First time I did it it was fun and bit exciting. Fast forward to 01.30 and then you think “what the hell am I doing here, I’m going to bed!

Well I'll give it a go. If I don't get it I'll treat my self to a half soverigne so it's a Win win 😁

I'm also still here fellas, will see what's happening tonight  I didn't win a few auctions earlier on Ebay deliberately so I could have some money for this 😛

Im hoping it goes live at midnight and they don't email their subscribers until the morning.  That has been a scenario a few times in the past.

I suppose I can tie it in with the new Game of Thrones episode.

I just ordered the Piedfort set so they are available now.  Looks like midnight release local for you guys.

No way... where do you see that?

[mr1030]

Just ordered it off The Royal Mint site about 15 minutes ago.  Can't reach it by clicking the advert on the front page.  I hit collections tab and selected annual sets, and they came up.  Four different sets available.  Regular proof, silver set , piedfort and gold.

The annual sets were already there. We are waiting for the single coins...

[mr1030]

Ahhh ok.  Sorry if I caused a ruckus.  Havn't been on the forum for a week and when I saw the OP the tweet said was available in the proof sets.  And it didn't sink in when some guys were quoting prices that they were for singles coming out.  Thanks for the info.

What have you ordered by the way? Cheers

[mr1030]

I ordered the Piedfort silver proof set.  I was thinking of getting the D-Day coin for a while now as my great uncle was shot down and killed on D-Day, and seeing the Sherlock Holmes sealed the deal for me on getting the set.

[Oystonousted]

Very nice thanks 

[goldmember44]

There are some really low mintages going on the Royal Mint at the moment... the D-Day collection, and also the Tower of London collection... no-one seems to be taking an interest in that. I'm not too bothered, but the mintages of their 1/4 gold's are really low, 800, and also it's in beautful 999 gold. Yet I can't really fork out another £480 for that... 

[HelpingHands]

Gold 50p ordered.   Back to bed.

[LiquidMetalsUK]

Piedfort ordered back to bed also 😁
