Music Legends

[Roy]

Queen, Elton and Bowie.

All legends but did the Mint do them justice?

I'm inbetween slowly fade to a future classic. I think certain size gold will do ok and the odd silver proof. It's hard to tell what with the maelstrom going on around the globe.

I asked myself the same question.  
 

Looking back in history, would I buy coins with the following depicted.  
 

Michael Jackson

Pavarotti 

Nat King Cole

etc

Probably not

I wouldn't as he's a West ham fan. And he would be forever singing I'm forever blowing bubbles 🤣

I've written this before when talking about the Music Legends series but I think the biggest problem with them is the constant reissues we saw specifically with the Queen one. I have not paid attention to them since then as that left such a bad taste in my mouth so do not know if the Elton or Bowie had the same amount of reissues. The problem is you get a good release such as the original Queen release and it does well. Then they decide to do "enhanced" versions in 2oz several months later. Then they decide to reissue again with 5oz versions once more several months later, etc, etc. Doing multiple reissues just dilutes the pool of coins that already exist. Maybe there is one version that will come to stand out in the series but personally I doubt it. I sold mine while there was still profit in them and do not regret it at all.

I would by a coin with Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Lizst, etc. on them (not British, I know) who actually deserve to be depicted on a coin.

The rest of these performers will simply be forgotten about.

I think the best time to sell (unless they are a personal treasure and part of a special collection, not to be sold) will be within the next 5-10 years (max).

I don't see them as a series as such (I may well be wrong) and so see the rarer Queen, Bowie and then Elton coins (in that order, and greatly diminishing in value/interest as one goes down the list) as fan pieces primarily.

@Paul is the expert there
