Alfred the Great - Royal Mint 9am 22nd April

I think he looks like an unhappy gardener. Or he's just pulling on the Bitcoin bollinger bands.

We could talk about moving averages or bad juju. It's one of those.

I bought a few of the last Peter Rabbit release in the silver proof format due to the low mintage. I still have these. I have to be honest, I thought that was going to be the final Peter Rabbit release. I will most probably buy more of this new release depending upon mintage and design. What about you?

I have been thinking about buying my first gold proof coin. Not sure if this will be it. As you said will look at the mintage and design.

It would be a big investment and wouldn't like it to plummet in value in the short term. Perhaps bullion would be more sensible for gold

I just spoke with the Royal Mint and they reminded me that the last Peter Rabbit release was last 50p one. This release will consist of 1oz silver and gold coins.

It's grown on me, its unusual - decided to buy it, must be mad

I bought it, arrived yesterday. I like it a lot! I think it's one to keep for the collection. I got the silver proof, would have got the gold if I had the spare cash at the time (mintage insanely low, which almost guarantees this gold proof a high resale value that will grow with time).

It has just come to me who the image on the Alfred the Great coin reminds me of - Mr Burns as the alien in The Simpsons!
