1oz Queen's Beast Lion

[Paul]

Judging from the price on coinivest the 1oz gold is no different to a bog standard krugerrand

So m'thinks it isn't going to have any mega premium attached to it.  itll just be like buying a 1/4 gold Britannia - lets hope

Now that's a beauty, i will get me a 1/4 oz.

Queen's Beasts at Kew Gardens

I have a yearly membership at Kew Gardens and I have often wondered about these strange looking statues. Now I know.

[MickB]

Another image to drool over. Been searching the internet but only the mentioned dealer selling these so far.

[Kman]

I like it

I wonder if they're going to do proof? a 1 oz silver proof would be very nice

I like also that they're doing a 1/4 gold

If the other coins in the series are as nice as this then it's going to be a great set. 

[StackemHigh]

Any idea on mintage numbers for the 2oz silver and the 1/4oz gold? 

[George]

So any info, if its a 10 coin set?

[StackemHigh]

CoinInvest have the 1oz for sale £932ish!

Is there any info on who will stock the 1/4oz?

If it's another UK coin only for US customers like the 1/4oz lunar sheep I'm going to start throwing stuff.

Or £921 if paid in €.

Buy now to wait? Gold could go up, or it could go down. Too used sub £800 delivered and been spoilt by the recent low £700 spot. Everything seems so expensive now.

I really like the design but i decided to wait . Hope to buy it when the price drop about £850, but i could be wrong and the price will rise.

 

Goldman Sachs looks for more gold weakness over the next 12 months, calling for $1,000 an ounce a year from now

If anyone spots the 1/4 oz gold or 2 ounce silver please let us know. I have emailed coin invest to see if they will stock them, will post the result here when they respond.

Yeah.

Will @STG 

or @SilverTrader get these in by any chance?  

hint hint....

or anyone... on the forum off-course

We are trying to get the Silver Beasts in as quick as possible. If we get the 2 oz version? Not sure yet to be hones. But would be very nice of course.

[Shinus73]

 

@STG - Are you expecting a 1 oz silver version?

[KDave]

Coin Invest may need some further encouragement to stock the other coins. Perhaps another dealer will stock the 1/4 ounce if they decide not to.

Hello xxxx!

 

Right now we are working on the purchase of the 1 oz Beasts which is not that easy, so we are not sure if we would get the other ones in, too. But if we will, you will find them on our website as soon as they are purchased by us.

 

Best regards

I must be the only one who thinks the bullion coin looks a bit well sh-t, not the design, the quality of the coin.  I have been buying Britannia's for years and since 2013 the quality on the bullion coins are poor and this looks bullion quality.

[joke-mode] xxxx? Well wel... you must have a great customer relationship with RM! [/joke-mode]

Jokes aside... I'm sure both Coininvest and STG are also on the case obtaining the 1/4 and the silver. Let's see.

I do agree, even its from my newbie point of view. I do like the different designs of the brits although the quality and details of other modern bullions seems a bit better/higher. I also find other bullions slightly more detailed compared to the Brits.

I also found a blog-post from Chards some time ago where they voiced about the low quality of RM bullion program and your post re-affirmed it.

Lets see if the Lion will raise the bar....?

The more I study and learn about PM the more I'm inclined to go for gold.

If it's sold at bullion prices, then I suppose it's fair enough. As a stacker rather than a collector (with one or two exceptions), I never used to buy Britannias, because you couldn't get them at close to bullion prices. Conversely, I now do buy them because you can.

[HelpingHands]

I imagine the silver will be priced like the RM lunar which I avoid because of the milk.

I still want some but I've not bought any 2016 coins yet and I want them all.  It's a year of nice designs.

[STG]

Guys your are getting our buyer in excitement here. He didn't even know about the 1/4 oz yet. So we are working on the Silver Lions and I am rather sure we will get them. And we are also working on the 1/4 Gold Lions. So cross your fingers!

Yes my relationship with most bullion dealers borders on inappropriate 

[KDave]

I will let you know what the quality is like when mine arrives in a couple of weeks @Pipers . I would assume it is of the same quality as the recent Britannia coins as you say but we will see.

Hang on a minute. There are jobs in which you are paid to buy coins.  I might sent you an application.
