Hey, is the 1/4oz worth picking up and grading or not? seem to be a high premium on these and not sure how well this series sell?

[BackyardBullion]

Griffin is the most popular design of the 10 designs, these have the lowest (shared anyway) mintage of the 10 coins in 1/4 oz proof and its the last chance to get them, I think they will do well - not financial advice of course but I think they are a good shout. 

Only downside is that they are £605 which is considerably more than the first issuing at £465

But, gold has gone up £400/oz since then!

I agree totally with Mr BYB! This is only my opinion but I would think that the more sought after of the Queens Beasts collection are the English Lion, the Griffin, and a close third would be the Red Dragon Of Wales, maybe a slight difference in collectability between the bullion coins and the proof coins, but again IMHO, and this is just my opinion, the Griffin would be a good one to have in most of it's denominations and sizes, as probably the most sought after one in the collection and it is also the last proof of the series to come out, even though the bullion was the second coin out of the ten in the series that was released.

hi

i paid just the £605, free delivery , ordering by phone .( normally use quidco but was £ 3 less for new customers only which i am not)

[FlorinCollector]

@Augustus1Weird I checked later and see list price was £605. I paid £615 + £9 delivery. Not sure if the delivery is because i'm in Scotland. Used to always be free but haven't bought in a while. 

[Augustus1]

hi,strange  dont know why you paid more + postage, as i said it was 605 + 9 postage to west yorks so dont think its to do with location ,but as i phoned delivery was free. you did buy it from official website ?

5oz gold now sold out, defo not in my budget but would be beautiful 

[Cornishfarmer]

Notice on the royal mint site that some are blank while others are sold out.    Expect the blank ones to come available again

[KennyPowers]

Just picked up a 1oz silver. I love the Griffin design so couldn't resist! I haven't bought from the RM site for a while so this was a trial run for the Three Graces 😁
