That’s it!!! It seems that there is a certain degree of Voodoo in numismatics that simply escapes me. To have predicted this sort of price jump is, to the outsider looking in (me), pure magic!  

I didn't say or write this quote above youve pasted  "And the PF 70 was mine. Purchased right here on the forum from @richatthecroft.  Kerbloomingching"

It’s obviously the price will keep rising 

Does any think the silver and gold version r still a good investment at the current highs ? 

Well there isn't going to be anymore minted for a long time?

I'd suggest a slow steady appreciation for the foreseeable future. 

I think the Una is a bit special compared to most numismatic coins.

My guess is the price will settle around £250 and then £300 in a years time

Not my best guess

At the time I think most people agreed with you!!

I remember when this thread started 

I think a lot of what was said, would make great T-shirt quotes

£180 for 2oz of silver is a RIP OFF!

Royal Mint are just robbing folk 

I'm not surprised its still available at that price

 hindsight is a great thing.  to think the silver was around a week plus (if i remember rightly) before it sold out. it wasn't an instant 5 mins sell on the day. Think we could have added three per person to

“£180 for 2oz of silver is a rip off “

In a medium red please Paul 😂 

 here’s my first post on the thread, I like to think I was on the fence with my opinion with a hint of optimism 😂

I reread the first few pages, there's a post from me on 2nd December

I think it came out 25th November? so it was probably ~3 days to sell out

Here is what I thought at the time:

What an idiot.

sorry  @AndrewSL76 - found a worse one for you when ive had a little read back of this thread for launch time

Beans and Toast and now substituted for fillet steak & king prawns !

Futune favours the bold !

Haha! This is hilarious! I stand by my initial comments. The premium was ridiculous and the prices currently being paid are crazy. But this view is only in relation to the intrinsic value. The cost of the coin is however no longer relevant to that intrinsic value but instead to the collectability of the coin. Who knew?

I bought one in the end...and as the prices rose a further three. The most I paid was £300. The total I paid for the four was £1,015.00. I sold two: one for £400 in March on EBay and one on here for £580 in May. My outlay for the two I currently hold is therefore £35. That’s £8.75 an ounce.  Ridiculous extremes for me in respect of this coin. Going to just keep them locked away for the long term as I will never lose money even if these drop to melt weight.

I bought much like Andrew and  still have a couple which are at around spot now. The question is always there in the back of your head when you see the sales as they are " do I shed one for the massive pay out"  mmmm makes you wonder

as you can tell I have way to much time on my hands this morning! (Waiting for the kids to wake up )

What people thought about the Una actually holds true for other 2oz silver coins issued... Like the James Bond ones. They haven't done very well lately in the auctions, and one could buy a 69 graded one for cheaper than RM initial price offering it seems. 70's are doing a bit better, but the early hype for them seems to be gone.

Una is in a class of its own.

I would say the Bonds might do better longer term, but the worry for the franchise is that the next 007 is female.

Be like slapping a meat and two veg on a Una.

Wouldn't it be wonderful and progressive if it was Leslie Jones 😍 or Kelly Marie Tran

Essentially, Bond won't be Bond anymore. Seriously. It will be like a new franchise, this current Bond is the last authentic one. So yes it will probably have sentimental/nostalgic and collector value in years to come.

I twice had a gold in my cart but thought 'nah I'll pick one up in a few months for less than £3000'.  Oops

RM upped the price too much. The only silver I can see scoring a decent return is the three graces and that will very much depend on a sensible mintage. Even 5000 might be too much.
