@PaulDo you think it might make six figures considering what the 2 oz have been selling for for?

Who knows? who knows ?  the RRP list price 2oz gold felt expensive to me at the time  

I would have thought they would have graded it to be fair

Absolutely beautiful, thanks for posting.

Not sure what the mintage of the 5oz gold Una & Lion was 

2oz gold was x225

and

the 1kg was x12

So 5oz must be somewhere in between i guess

Anyone know ?

[Altitudes]

Just looked it up and this site says mintage was 65.

Maybe they did and it did not grade well - so back to the capsule.....would not surprise me.

Anyone picking up the 2kg Silver proof 2019 Una and lion GREAT BRITAIN THE GREAT ENGRAVERS  by royal mint? * Whenever it comes out* 
PS: anyone if there are other sizes coming out?

[ExpatBrian]

For all those waiting for Monday for a possible release of Three Graces, not happening. A special edition of the 50th Anniversary of Decimalisation SOTD is due for release.  RM won’t be releasing that and the graces on the same day.

 

With a mintage of 700, does anyone think it’s worth purchasing the 50p at a cost for roughly £1200?

There was a rumour they were all sold exclusively by a single supplier, not sure if it’s true but that was the rumour

Well that presents a dilemma for those who have just enough cash for a few Graces coins.. And if this SOTD 50p is bought, it could upset the applecart. 

It is quite a unique SOTD, the first of its kind, but the thing that bothers me is that there already are other versions of the coin, that are even lower mintage. The normal proof has a mintage of 400 I think, and then there's an even rarer one from the annual sets with the early portrait. Mintage 90?

I'm doing the peace dollars in 65 instead, will cost more but history is history, brand new is kind of speculative at best.

That’s what I was thinking... 

Its a numismatic first to have a SOTD as a 50p BUT how many Graces can you potentially buy with that cash.

I don’t think I’m the only one holding out on buying other coins at auction, etc. until the ladies are released (which is now looking like late February at the earliest).

I love how RM made a big thing about the year set being the only way to get the gold 50p and yet they release this. Ok it's not a proof but even so....

What’s the link to this coin? I can’t find it on the RM site by searching. 🤔

Thanks @SovCollector. This is different from the other gold proof in the set because that had the Machin obverse? So this is still somehow different? Or am I confused?

It is sightly different. The obverse being one. Although it is a gold proof, there is a small portion of it that is frosted also. It’s also struck on the day, which means you get a fancy certificate signed by the RM captain of commemorative coins. Is all that worth £1200+ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah yes that makes sense now.

It is not worth the price for me, but I’m pretty sure this will sell out as there seem to be a lot of 50p fans. 😊

The Brexit 50p gold seemed to do well, actually better than the SOTD sovereign in the secondary market. This 50p could be similar in performance, perhaps selling on eBay rather quickly for £1,500 - £2,000 and more.
