What's Up With The Royal Mint Website?

[Oldun]

Interesting. I clicked on the George second birthday coin (the one with the funky st george slaying the dragon) and it says The Royal Mint no longer have it for sale as of March 10th (yesterday)

I've received an email stating that the next one in the series (or the rest, It is not clear) will be available for preorder tomorrow from 9am.  I doubt there will be the same mania but I will have a look.

What do you guys see as the next coin to flip after this one?

I hope mine arrives before the bubble pops.

I'm still unsure on the other three.  I've ordered one hedgehog too with the backup plan of giving it away a present should the hype be over by then.

The site is slow again today and it looks like the other three potter coins are now unavailable.  It doesn't say sold out but there is not a box to add to basket.

A Google search shows its been in the papers today which explains the traffic.  Keep an eye out for the 50ps in circulation too.

Hard to know isn't it if people just wanted the main Peter Rabbit coin or if they're interested in collecting the whole set 

They've all got at least 15,000 mintage for the proof, that seems high to me to command too much of a premium but time will tell I suppose

I can't bring myself to buy any as I just don't like them

The thing is I've already sold the rabbit for over 600 so unless I mess up really badly then I should be up no matter what.

Clearly I missed the flip of a lifetime?

nutters thats what they are, in a couple of years time they will be worth £60.  Most of us would of forgotten about them.

I asked RM why they put their products directly into an envelope with no extra packing.
