White greyhound of richmond

[Silverman2U]

Nothing on European mint or the royal mints website yet about the grey hound. They have released the year of the ox proofs though

The greyhound is not the most frightening of the queens beasts...more like the liver farting boney dog ...lol.

I didn't think much of it but I agree with you it's not bad. 

[g33x0r]

Ugh, I pre-ordered one, I just wanted to have the whole set.  This is the second highest I've paid for any of them, as I bought the griffin a couple years after it had come out.

LPM have a presale for the 2oz BU but the premium seems ridiculous to be honest when compared to synthetic spot. I wonder if its because of the scarcity of physical relative to paper. 

Im waiting for a few more places to release it for a better comparison

[DarkChameleon]

I Just orderred two of them, never orderred more then one but ill have my pick then sell the otheralong with my 2oz liberty island i have two of.

I used to have 2 greyhounds which we adopted from the local rescue centre (Mac and Maisie). The only time I saw Mac’s front legs positioned like the hound on the coin was when he was lying on his back sleeping with his legs sticking up. Admittedly that was for about 23 hours a day. I’m guessing that the Richmond hound has just woke up for dinner time!

I do like this coin too and I don’t have any others in the QB series but I’m thinking of buying this one.

Why so they do that? My Saluki greyhound Finley sleeps on the couch on this back with his legs in the air too. It must be comfortable for them.

@BackyardBullion

Thanks for sharing, am I right in thinking that the 2oz QB coins are the size of a Britannia but double the thickness?

I don’t have any of the QB series.

What are people paying for these? £60 seems pricey.

Unfortunately, they pre-saled just before silver spot came down so I paid more than I cared to pay at $62-63 USD each. 
Let's just say that I wasn't too happy seeing a week or two later that I could have gotten them for $10 USD less each. 
not sure what the exchange rate is, but I think it would be equivalent to £45 now if the ratio is $1 USD to £1.25

Who doesnt get robbed one way or another in the last of set, seems the markets did it before the mint got a shot at it.

I've bought it for 55 € from a german seller I've found on gold.de, where you can compare prices. I hope the quality will be ok, since it's the first time I've ordered from this seller.

Speaking of getting robbed... this is a little off topic, since there are a few Germania threads, but the gouging of the 2 oz high relief and 1 oz x 2 Fafnir still leaves a bitter taste. 
It's one of those universal ones too...  I am pretty sure even China knows what F U means.  It's certainly not French Union. 

My hound is supposedly on it's way.  Now the question becomes...  do I crack the mint sealed tube to do some quality control or not? 
I am leaning to just buying more at a lower price (brings the cost average down slightly) and later selling off the tube in sealed condition. 

I feel ya...i got bite by a few presales...but i figure ive saved on a few too, $10 too much on this is still in my favor from the other 9 i bought at just over $40, its swings and the longer we play thit game the more we even out.

Did anyone get the supposedly untouched from the Mint tube?  Mine came today, but I was wondering... 
I saw no seal like tape to prove that it was never touched.... see photo.  
At least it looks like the coins I ordered are in there. 

I get those as well, and it looks to come from the same place based on the label (BOLD precious metals).  The tubes in the monster box do not come taped, but some dealers apply tape when full tubes are purchased individually to prevent the coins from popping the cap off in transit.  

There’s no way to ensure they weren’t touched, however since yours were likely purchased during presale because you’ve got them already, they’re almost certainly untouched. BOLD does not send coins for grading, so there would be no reason to empty the tubes prior to shipping to a customer. In my opinion, buying from a dealer that does not sell graded coins during presale is the best way to ensure that your coins are handled the least.

That's just the thing.  We don't know if we are getting a fast ball, curve/slider, or change-up. 
Sometimes you wait and a variety of things happen like spot going up, true inventory going out, dealers playing in and out games, delays, and so forth. 
It still pains me to see 2 oz at $55-65 when it was not long ago to see it at $40-50... and even under $40... and I kick myself because I didn't buy some particular coins then. 
The bright side... almost a pun there... is that in the end it ought to be worth it because trading fiat for any PM that isn't fake should be a fair trade. 
This is also a form of relief that a series is over and for those who collected it, don't have to worry about it anymore... until the next one, right? 

Right, ive started on another collection already,not saying what itis for fear of bidding against others..lol..but the colecting becomes the addiction as much as the metal.
