Myths and Legends - Robin Hood 2021

[NewCoins]

Is the mintage unlimited? At what point will they stop selling the Robin Hood ?

[Pipers]

Where can i buy the Robin hood coin.  Does anyone know who in the UK apart from the RM is stocking this coin at reasonable premiums. 

I am going to buy this series with my daughter. 

10% premium at the royal mint,  which thinking about it is 5% over a standard britannia.  I am going to ring the RM tomorrow and i will ask them if the coin will be availible for dealers.

I think the series will hit its stride once Maid Marion is released (the market definitely has a preference for artwork depicting beautiful women!)

The Arthurian mythology will almost certainly make an appearance, and if each theme gets three coins, I’m guessing that it will be Arthur, Guinevere and Merlin.  I can see those being popular with collectors.  After that, I’m less certain.  Shakespeare’s fairy court of Oberon, Titania and Puck would make a nice set, or perhaps figures from the Mabinogion like Rhiannon, Blodeuwedd or Bran the Blessed.  I think the series could be a surprise hit, so I'm getting in early, but the coins aren't priced that much higher than Britannias, so I don't think I'm risking too much if they don't take off in the future.     

Wow if you are right the arthurian mythology would certainly be successful IMHO

This made me think of seeing a coin released with an image of Brian Blessed on it.  It would be a very LOUD and hairy design 😉😄

Thats freaking me out 😩

Just ordered the 1 ounce gold for a friend today.

I think we got the last one from that website, as it's no longer available.

[Squalleonhart]

Just bought myself the one ounce gold too off the back of selling a kilo bar of silver. I justified the extra 5% over a brit for a stab at it.......one of the sets could really hit it out the park and by that time the premium on one of these coins could have shot right up. Spot could drop but its not going to fall off a cliff, but it could equally go up. Anyway its my 1st ounce of gold and i love it ........iv joined the big boys club ☺

Wish i was rich enough to buy 2 of everything 😒 

One for you......and one for me

One for you..................and one for me

So, I've recommended this coin to a friend of mine (and ordered for him also, together with an item I've ordered for myself).

I'm pleasantly surprised by it.

Has lots of detail, and quality is beyond what Royal Mint does lately (at least with silver).

@MoralHazardenjoy the pictures.

[Edeline]

Got mine!  What a beautiful coin, but I can see the quality control issues that others have picked up on.  I don't expect a proof finish on a bullion coin, but the Queen's head has taken a bit of a battering during the minting on three out of four of my silver coins, which is disappointing.  I really want this series to do well, and I think it's got a lot of promise, but RM are hobbling it with a reputation for poor production quality before it's had the chance to find it's feet.

It's bad, right?  I've had scuffed coins before and never bothered with returning, but I think the damage to these is excessive enough that I'm going to have to see about sending the flawed ones back.  I hope they just give me an exchange.  I really love these coins, and I normally don't mind a few scratches, but the premiums are too high to overlook this kind of damage.

I'm way too late to buy a set of QBs at reasonable prices but if they do a set of these in 1/4 Oz Gold I'm tempted to get on board, the the current feedback on the Silver's does worry me so will hold fire and wait.

Good question. Anyone have any knowledge on this?
