Royal Mint Queen (band) Coin - 9am

[TemplarsVault]

Hello! from the other side of the pond. New member,first post. In my opinion, the word " Legend"  means a person or band, that has a body of work, that last a life time, and influences, future generations, regardless if dead, or alive. Also on a world wide scale. wondering why no one has mentioned, Eric Clapton, or U2. And how cool would it be to have a Iron Maiden coin? Lol pretty sure thats not going to happen.

                                 Cheers !

Hello there, 

I think we've just mentioned British ones so far because it’s the British Mint series. There’s plenty of Legends around the world, maybe it will be a worldwide series???

Clapton and Iron Maiden are British, U2 Irish.

U2 Irish.

but anti-poverty preacher Mr Bono's band is based in Holland for tax purposes

Presumably as  Music Legends is quite a loose term it could also involve composers like lloyd webber could it not

[Roy]

I'd like to see a Sex Pistols coin!

Anyone fancying a Queen/Brian May  limited edition Seiko watch to compelment their recent purchases - click away ! 

The Queen marketing team is in overdrive, or his pension needs subsidising !  

I think it is quite a nice piece to be fair linked with his home made Red Special guitar

How do I get Brian May to sign my 2oz COA? Could increase its value a lot...

Pop a mail to Brian's personal secretary Julie Glover, 

"DUCK PRODUCTIONS LIMITED" is Brian Mays personal prodcution company

7 Savoy Court, London, WC2R 0EX

you can also get to Brian the sneaky way, by using his wife Anita Dobson fan club (much more smaller fan base) Anita is super receptive to fan mail

1oz gold and 2oz silver according to the public declaration. Seems oversaturation to me.

Personally I would go about getting him to sign my C.O.A. in a different way:

I'd first go out and catch myself a badger - be careful they're grumpy little buggers, preferably a very photogenic example of the species, the more photogenic it is the better.  Then I'd make a film of myself threatening the little beast, the more convincing you can make this look the better, so don't be afraid to break out the steak knife to hold against the animals throat, I'd film myself - obvioulsy hiding my facial features, looking directly into the camera, and saying in a slow, clear, calm, controlled and even tone saying, ''Brian May, if you don't sign my Queen coin certificate of authenticity, I'll skin this badger alive'', I would then put down the knife, and start stroking the beast making sure that I make lots of eye contact with it, then look back up directly at the camera and again in a slow, clear, calm, controlled and even tone say, ''Brian May, only you can save this magnificent animal's life, all you have to do is to send me an email [this is where I would have a burner encrypted email account like hushmail appear on the screen], with an address to send you my certificate of authenticity to, and I will then send you my certificate of authenticity as well as my address so you can send it back to me, once you have signed it.  Once I have received my signed certificate of authenticity, I will set the badger free, and upload a proof of life and release video, should you involve the authorities, I will skin the beast alive, and leave it to run around naked'', remember slow, clear, calm, controlled and even tone, you don't want to come across as a nut job, nor do you want to come across as somebody unwilling or unable to go through with it, you want to come across as somebody who is capable of doing i without breaking a sweat or losing a minutes sleep over it.  I would then upload this video to Youtube/FaceBook/Twitter and every video hosting site/social media/social network site that I can think of sit back and wait for it to go viral, which it will.  Brian May havining the soft spot for badgers that he does will reply to your video within hours.  Now here comes the tricky part, for obvious reasons you don't want to give Brian May your real address, you'll want to give him the address of somebody who's property you not only have access to, but more importantly thinks you really like them, your mother in law fills this need perefectly, they were practically invented for this, so when you send Brian May your certificate of authenticity to sign, send him your mother in law's address to post it back to you singed.

Remember this is just a hypothetical suggestion, I'm not advocating that you go out and capture - snare traps work best by the way, a badger, yet alone use it too blackmail Brian May into signing your C.O.A. for you.

Will this also work with Daniel Craig?

I don't know, is there any animals he's very fond of and has campaigned on behalf of, if not, you could always just replace the badger with one of Daniel Craig's kids and basically follow the same script, though I'm pretty sure the penalities should you get caugh would be a lot worse.  To me personally getting Daniel Craig to sign a C.O.A. is not worh that much hassle and prison time, though you never know, his kids could turn out to right little buggers and he could turn the tables on you and consider it a huge favour and refuse to sign your C.O.A. so that you end up stuck with and responsible for his kids, truly a double edged sword if ever there was one.

Seth, if they release a ‘Taken’ coin, you’re in trouble. A world of pain awaits.

I don't think so, how many times now has Liam Neeson had his daugher kidnapped now 6 or 7 times now?  I'm extremely surprised that the child protection services haven't pulled him aside to have a word with him about his parenting skills after the second time, and extremely surprised that they didn't take the child off of him after the third time for the child's own protection and safety, even Mr Bean managed to keep a child safe.

For those of us waiting on the 2oz silver proof. Received an answer this morning from Royal Mint,stating these would be ready for dispatch from 14th March!!

[watchesandwhisky]

I dont remember having to wait so damn long for orders! I guess its all mint to order now!

[Jimmock]

And there still selling on e-bay. One went for £350 auction price yesterday. Think I might just stick my 1/2,1+2, up on here and see what happens.(If it ever arrives that is.)

[muenzdachs]

1 oz Silver BU version available now as well...

Thanks I thought it would be a straight bullion version but obviously not. RM must have brought in a commercial adviser. The stepped sale of these ensures that each release sells out and is beyond the 14 day return period. This release will also strip the secondary value of the 1oz proof as buyers move to this coin.

Grumpy Dave has told me the Delay is due to the Packaging, It is made in China ?? Coinsters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
