Queens Beast 2021 Silver Kilo Completer Coin

[MonkeysUncle]

The one's I have are perfect.

RM supplies them in capsules with the capsules shrink wrapped onto card backing. Sounds like a third party has had his/ her fingers in!

[Coverte]

I bought mine direct from RM when what I assume was the "first batch"

- No marks or any other issues - I suspect it's a possibility, once again, since so many people have these now, the high demand for this both direct and from bullion agents/re-sellers has been such that RM have lost the plot on QC - again ....

[DaKine]

No real care was afforded to them in striking and post care, IMHO they must have been stacked. I will try to show a picture of mine later. It has milky AREAS hidden in and around the Beasts, not just spots.

[EliteNeo]

Yeah I would appreciate any photos for comparison. Mine is actually quite nice on the reverse. I have emailed the dealer to see what they think

Try a JPEG instead of a HEIC file. The latter aren't particularly well supported on the web yet.

They are either in process, or  have already made, a second batch of these 1 Kilo completers.

Think they are waiting for the milk float to arrive before they can start reminting them..🚐

Maybe interesting for those finding scratches on the coin in the capsule, found on the German dealer site:

- Update 1.9: Kilo Silver Completer: Here the Mint has problems with the coin capsule. The Mint noticed that the capsule touches the kilo coin and a solution to the problem is currently being sought. Because of this, there will unfortunately be a certain delay again.

I fail to understand the comment about the capsule touching the coin.  Of course it does, unless their is zero gravity in the capsule and the coin is floating!

When I received mine I did actually wonder whether the capsule was rubbing the Queen's face. The cheek of it!

Thankfully, Sharps Pixley have been excellent to deal with with my issue. Excellent customer service.

These have been minted again and deliveries to dealers are ongoing.

BBP currently have stock.

Cheers.  I bought one today from BBP.
But then I looked on Atkinsons and realised they also have them at the moment, and £3 cheaper!  Ah well...

So if anyone wants one - try Atkinsons first.  But the prices are pretty comparable and the spot price is lower than it was back in July, so in my simple head today, it's a bargain 😉

[JN1330]

Does anyone know if Atkinsons actually have physical stock or if this is for pre-orders? The mint told me these would be available early January 2022.

The Mint doesn't know it's backside from it's elbow. 

I would guess Atkinson have stock as they are not in the business of hacking customers off. Phone 'em to check.

BBP still have stock as of 5 minutes ago (just bought some more and didn't clear them out like last time!!!) They're 3 pounds a coin more. I can live with that.

[MonkeysUncle]

Just thought I'd put up a picture. For those who have not seen these things the sheer size of them is like "wow" or was to me. That teeny weeny thing in the middle is a 50p piece. You sure wouldn't want a pocket full of beasts!

Awesome photo 😃

My single kilo Completer Beast arrived yesterday from BBP.  It's a massive cylinder of a coin and carries some real visual heft.

Personally I think its proportions are a little out of kilter.  I would have preferred a wider diameter coin of lower thickness which to me would have looked more coin-like and even more visually spectacular.  I love the proportions of the 10 oz coins, whereas this kilo coin is over 3 times heavier but only just over 1 cm wider in diameter.

Still - bravo Royal Mint, and bravo Bullion By Post.  My particular coin appears to be well-struck and I'm very happy with it.

I do love these larger coins..only thing that puts me off is the liquidity when selling.

If its a coin you want to keep or pass on to future generations great..but if its something you want to sell in a few years gonna be a wait to get the buyer who wants this...liquidity is the king when selling and smaller denominations are the way for me but that's just my personal opinion....as I said I love these chunks but don't think I'd ever purchase one..just because of liquidity..

Regards.

I'm keeping mine for the foreseeable future and don't intend buying any more kilo silver bullion coins.

If they make this coin in the 10 oz size I will add it to my collection/stack.

 

I think owners of these kilo coins will do quite well with them if they want to sell them in 2+ years' time (that is, at least a year after the are no longer available to buy new).  It's an iconic coin and the first of its type, and personally I think it is pretty reasonably priced.

May I ask how much these are

[MonkeysUncle]

The only other kilo coins I'm aware of are the Aussie ones. Never seen one in the flesh, never mind owned one. Hope to put that right someday! I do like the size, I can see and appreciate the detail of the design - I can't on the 1oz coins without a magnifying glass.

As for liquidity I've shifted kilo bars on ebay without issue - if you price stuff as per market conditions it will sell. Obviously you've got to be significantly below reputable dealers price otherwise why would anyone want to buy off an unknown quantity with limited comeback. 

Hopefully the premium in the Beast will reflect in future sale prices in a few years time. I've stacked mine as a long term keeper to be sold off in retirement should the need arise. Which is true of pretty much all my stack, I'm in for the long run rather than the quick flip.

They are a whisker under £900 today from Atkinsons or BBP, including UK VAT and UK special delivery.

I paid just under £874 for mine at the weekend from BBP, Atkinsons price was £871.

Bbp are a good company but always.......charge more than other dealers 🙄
