It looks like the Royal Mint are going to milk the success of the first coin in the series! It will be interesting to see the mintage figures when the coin is released in the New Year.

Loads of massive gold coins.  Even the smallest of the Three Graces is 2 ounces.

I would have liked a gold 2 oz Una (and well done to those who got one) but sadly I don't think this series will appeal to me enough to want to buy them in gold.

I may try to get a 2 oz silver one once I see the design, but probably will just steer clear and buy gold bullion instead.

To be fair to average " Joe Public / man on the street" the 2oz silver will be be the only coin that is fair & in their price range 

BUT pound for pound looking at after sales of the 1st coin Una & Lion GOLD VS GOLD

and the 2oz silver is outperforming in % terms over price paid

Example 

PF70 SILVER sells for £6,000 at auction (price paid at launch = £180 )  =  x33.33 return

PF70 GOLD sells for £59,000 at auction (price paid at launch = £3,995) = x14.76 return

just find x33  2oz silver UNA & LION at list price and you're laughing !

I will take a peek at the 2oz silver, it will have to be a top notch design to tempt me. I haven't yet received a coin from Royal Mint that I would consider being PF70 quality.
