Looks like the 2 ounce silver is still available on the Royal Mint website

Yep as I thought they limit it and bring it back online. 

Just bought the 10 coin 2 oz set - spent £15 in postage when i could have spent £5 but hey ho. 

I have just realised that i have committed to 3 sets of 1oz and 1 set of 2oz coins Oh well. 😛

Had anyone ever subscribed to a series before?

What does the “special box” look like?

Also, what is the price of the piedfort 10 oz silver proof?

I just went back to RM website and had to re-queue to enter. Seems a little strange that they're still queuing people now. Is this really necessary or is it just marketing? I'm starting to think I got suckered into buying a coin I didn't intend on lol

[paulmerton]

After all that.... I think I'll wait to see what the bullion offerings are like  

[matt1r]

Don’t buy the hype, buy the coin if you really want it.

While I was tempted I simply can’t start another series. 😂

I view these as 5-10 year investment coins, not quick flippers.

Personally I think these will do well over time.

That's not a guarantee of success - but I am happy with what I have bought today.

[AurumArgenti]

Congratulations to all who secured some of the panthro coins. I think I'll go bullion again.

At 9:27 I was 1765 in the queue🤔. Managed to acquire nickel BU😊 and 1oz silver proof😊. Once you have an order number I would think that is actual confirmation of a successful order going through. I checked my personal e-mail address as well. The coin itself has inscriptions along the outer rim which is really neat and I love the Panthers face. This was the coin I wanted the most from this set😊. Quite sure over time this set will become a highly delectable😊. Wondering how quickly this Panther will sell out and if I'm elated with the coins, I may opt to pre-order the remaining ones. Waiting on the 2022 Britannia proof🙄

So for those asking, I could only get the trick to work on the phone, and I had to use a bookmarked link, then once you get to search, search for Tudor. They all come up.

Coins on the website include:

5 oz Silver 387.50

2 oz Gold 4650

2 oz Silver 154

1 oz Silver 79.17

1 oz Gold 2440

You can order the following via your account manager if you have one..

10 oz Silver

2 Kg Silver

1 Kg Silver (didn't ask, but assume)

5 oz Gold (didn't ask, but assume)

Where are you getting those prices? Is that before VAT?

Luckily my RM acc manager phoned me about one minute after i joined the very long queue so i manged to get what i wanted. Hopefully the same thing will happen when the next engraver coin comes out but i won't be putting any money on that happening ! 

I think the beast coins will always be a fairly good buy and will always be popular but as BYB said you will probably have to hold them for a while. 

The RM see this range as a long term regular winner for them and i think the popularity was shown by the mini stampede on the website this morning.

 

[apachebleu]

Still gold proofs available, I really thought these would sell out quicker. Maybe people saving there money for the 2022 sovereign or the vague hope of a gothic crown? 

 I don't like the design much but if it wasn't for the upcoming releases I would still have picked up a panther for investment

[CollectorNo1]

If you missed out on the 5oz Seymour you can get it for £850 on ebay double the price...!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 didn't take long to flip..🤭

[AuricGoldfinger]

If you think about the queens beasts the lion was the first and is one of the most popular designs ever. As a first design to a series i think this coin is lacking. I think thats why there’s still gold proofs available. If i do get one it will be gold bullion so will avoid the hype for now but will be a potential gainer should the series gain traction

I watched the RM launch....coins are going to be spread over 5 years  so would agree with BYB 10 years to see a good return if selling..

Agree that the 2016 Lion was an excellent start to the QB series and was the reason I started collecting. The Seymour Panther doesn't do it for me like the Lion.  Should I get a 1Oz silver proof just in case the series gets better....🤔

[BackyardBullion]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for these - but I think this is a very good release for the first in the series.

Considering most of the regular Queens Beasts gold proofs took a week to sell out usually the fact that the gold proofs have not sold out in 2.5 hours does not concern me.

I would be concerned if I was an eBay flipper trying to cash in on some mad hype, but I'm not.

This series has a great potential for both a financial return on its investment as well as a big tick in the box for collectability which is why I bought them and why I plan to hold them for a good long while.

Who knows, in 5 years we might have series 3, the king's beasts if Queenie isn't with us anymore.

Also, elephant in the room, if Queenie dies before this set is complete then there will be an interesting design decision for the series to change monarch halfway through.

Lots going in this coins favour and if all that is against it is that the design isn't stunning then so be it. 

Remember, the Queen's Beasts had some really not great looking beasts too. Not every coin can be as sexy as the lion or Griffin - but I can guarantee that some of the coins in this series will be.

Just my 2¢ - anyone that has bought and changes their mind can always return to the royal mint too, these coins are different to bullion and can be returned as per consumer rights.

Is there going to be a prize for the first person to see a milk spot!!!!

Yes..you get another coin with 2 milkspots...😅😅

[FlorinCollector]

1/4oz gold and £5 coin for me. Lets hope it doesn't cancel!

[FlorinCollector]

Just to add if anyone has any idea. I wanted another quarter ounce. Does anyone know if its 1 per household?

Edit: Never mind it is 1 per household

I managed to get a 1oz proof at 11:55am and it looks like they’re still in stock.

I quite like this design and unlike the Queens Beasts which I missed out on from the start, I can start at the beginning with this series. 😊
