The Royal Tudor Beasts - Royal Mint Launch Event, Oct 7

Well, no one is trying to flip a set yet!  🤭 😂

[Colnago]

Got a set ordered… Now in the likelihood that I get shafted from the stern on Monday morning with the Gothic release.. My 2 coin set will be open for trades for the new 2oz Gothic 🙃

Oops - spoke too soon!  😂😂😂

You should probably but a trade post up now

There’s only 1,000 of the 1 Oz reverse frosted proof as compared to 7,010 of the regular proof… which is why I think this is a nice set to have just for the reverse frosted version, besides the fact I do like the reverse frosted silver coins.

Have to agree with your sentiments @westminstrel - and looks like they have all gone - again!... unless they sneak some more stock in shortly, we shall see.

Having bought a 1oz proof Seymour Panther when first released I have read all the negative comments about this release, then surprise, surprise, everyone jumping in to buy the new two coin set! I wonder how long most of you are actually going to keep them? Can’t beat a nice quick profit?

[BackyardBullion]

Out of interest, because its really quite annoying me....

Does anyone else always get redirected to the beta page of RM's website.

The navigation tabs on the beta are GARBAGE and to find anything I have to manually search!

Chrome seems to be the only browser redirecting me to beta, very annoying!

Has anyone even seen the second coin in the set ? 

With reference to how reverse frosted proofs look - here's @BackyardBullion's video on the Britannia two coin sets...

Yes, I did on one of my devices. Not sure if I still do.

You will probably have something in local storage called beta tester or something like that. Does it also do it if you open an incognito tab?

I was getting redirected this morning when I first got onto the site - but I just pasted in a link that someone dropped in this thread earlier to the Seymour Panther page, and went from there...

Have to agree with the Beta Navigation comments! awful! - I build websites for a living, and if I'd done that for a client I'd get shot! 😲

Sorry bit behind on this series, is there a reverse frosted 1/4 oz gold set ?

I don’t know about others, but my intent is to only collect these sets for the entire series - because they give me both variations of the finishes to enjoy.

I did buy the 1 Oz and 2 Oz silvers originally, but I will be selling them, and canceling my continuity options for both denominations.

I think the 2 Oz is redundant when you have a 1 Oz. I don’t care for the chunkiness of the 2 Oz personally.

I did the same for the British Monarchs. The 1 Oz silver is enough to satisfy me for the full series.

Nope. Just a 1 Oz silver reverse  frosted coin.

Yeah, it still happens with incognito and also when using a VPN.

Must be some setting within Chrome - I have tried blocking popups and autoredirects manually with chrome, to no help.

😞 

My inner OCD is ticking big time, very annoying!

I can't see one currently on the RM site @GoldDiggerDave - but I'm no expert on what they'll be offering, so there could be in the future maybe? 🤔

 Yeah, I'm certainly a critic, even an hour or two ago calling it goofy but mintage of 1000 at a relatively cheap price made me say why not? Maybe the series will come good.

 Don't plan on flipping it, doubt there will be any real profit in it

Have you tried just pasting a 'proper' link in BYB?

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/the-royal-tudor-beasts/seymour-panther-2022/

Worked for me, in fact, I'm still logged in to my account, and can navigate without seeing the /beta/ version...🤔

OK - that works until I go back to the Home Page, then its redirected to beta. 

Just gonna have to save this hyperlink as my bookmark me thinks!

OCD still ticking, but significantly less now, thanks!

 I didn't see a continuity option for this, did I just miss it or was it not an option?

How odd. Not tried clearing it myself self yet, I was hoping there might be a queuing advantage at one point.

I would try clearing local storage and cookies and trying again.

I can't try it today, but will let you know if I can clear it. I suspect it must be possible.

I'd imagine all the people who didn't like them didn't buy them when they first released - but with the 2 coin set being quite a low mintage, they may have changed their minds perhaps?

I have a 1oz as well - my first Proof coin bought new! - but couldn't afford a 2oz as well at the time, so when I found out about the 2 coin / reverse frosted set, I decided to try for that. Happy to say I managed to secure one - but I intend to hold for the long term - will become part of my pension pot (and I'm hoping the long term will provide a return that beats a quick flip profit 🙂 )

I didn’t see one either. So odd. It’ll be a hassle to get the entire bloody series this way. 😅

You're most welcome!  😁

 

and yes, if I click the logo, it takes me back to the /beta/ version, so I'll be avoiding that in the future too! 👍

Mrs BYB's Laptop has the same redirect when going on there with Chrome, but not with other browsers!

I'd guess that by not offering a continuity option, they will bring more people to the site in search of the future two coin sets?

Makes sense form a marketing point of view, and with such a low mintage, there wouldn't be many 'non-continuity' sets left for each subsequent release, I'd wager...
