I agree. Buying raw from the Royal Mint is a fantastic investment. There are more denominations being released for the Graces in comparison to the Una. How will that effect future pricing, who knows. I do think a large part will come down to mintage. 
To this day, there is still only 5 2oz gold Una’s graded by PCGS as PR70 Deep Cameo. They also VERY rarely hit the market. That will keep the price up for years to come and I wouldn’t be shocked if that coin one day hit £100k in the near future. There are some people who have crazy money out there and £100k is a drop in the ocean to them.

Great points, well said. Good luck tomorrow if you’re in the hunt for a Graces coin. I’m now out of the hunt having used most of my spare cash buying a couple of special half sovereigns from SilverMike in the past few days (1817 AU50 and 1826 PF60).

Thanks mate. I’m definitely going for it. Setting up my command center tonight so I’m good to go in the morning.

I’m also doing finger pushups today. Gotta keep them nimble!

unless they increase the mintages by a substantial number, it'll be all over by 09.05😁

very much so - but got to be around to see who gets what here, who gets their orders cancelled, how many gold goes to the forum

[sovereignsteve]

Personally I was a fan of the late night/early morning releases, not so many people around😉

A nice video is up now.

At least with a mintage of 35k on the silver 1oz I might stand half a chance of getting this one 😀

They do look nice, worth paying the VAT for!

I'm a big fan of Jody Clark but this is not nice.. looks like they gave him an hour to sketch something out and said yeah good enough

It's not Una and the Lion, more like something from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Lionel, ive been told there is a 2oz RM "Una & Lion" in Sovereign Rarities auction at the end of April. Will be great to see what it goes for, they have a great little black book of contacts around the world 

Will be the first one ive seen up for sale in a while.  Last one i saw sold in far east auction for more than last coin cabinet auction of £59,000 

[Frenchie]

More seriously, maybe this price is credible,  who knows ! The last reference we have is the last auction at the CC in september with a PF70 sold for £59000

I have also tracked for a few months a raw gold Una in Japan, the dealer (who sell a lot of UK coins) proposed it for Y14900000, so around £100000 and this coin is not available anymore (but I can't see if it was sold as it disappeared from the site)

Hello Paul  

It will be interesting to know if the trend is still there ! 

The 3G could be on the same trend (around £35000 for the moment)... My gold 3G will only be despatched tomorrow to a third party for grading (very cumbersome procedure with the RM in order to send it to a 3rd party)

So I won't have this beauty in hand for a few more months (but I have the silver 2oz in hand   )

Thanks Lionel for the insight, i saw a reference to one selling in the far east on a facebook collectors group in the past few month, it was from one of the most trusted members, so can presume it was 99% true/real

Sadly cant find it from searching as searching "Una & Lion" just brings up dozens of Three Graces posts on FB now so cant locate it to say exactly what was said.  But in my mind i know the price was more the the coincabinet auction sale we saw of £59,000 GBP last year

The fact that none at all have come to market since the £59,000 hammer price has got to be encouraging long term - the sale next month at sovereign rarities auction will definitely be a good one to watch.  If it is between £59,000  BCC list price of £85,000 and the 15 million YEN sale price - i really dont mind, im sure you dont either  !

Hey Paul,

From what I remember, a member said that the gold Una sold more recently for £80k in a Far East auction. 
Do you think it’ll break the £100k mark?

£85,000 and not graded?! I don’t think so... if it was a PF70, that would make a bit more sense.

I can’t believe I’ve just said a coin that was originally on sale for under £5k less than two years ago “makes sense” at £85k today 🤪
