Had a surprise from the postman today!! Havnt ordered anything so was shocked to see that it was a box from the RM a Seymour Panther? I've an idea who it's from,will find out later. I had no intention of purchasing this or the series but now  in-hand it's beautiful.. well I'm now hooked..it is a very nice coin. Was hesitant on opening it up as was thinking..(Milkspots,scratches etc) I've had the coin out of the capsule with cotton gloves and cannot see anything..apart from what looks like a smudge on the reverse at the left of the 2022.

Won't be sending it back as 1. It's a present and 2. Don't want to risk getting a replacement that is in worse condition.

Anyway very happy with it so looks like I'm going to be going for the full series..

 

Well ain't you the lucky one lol. Welcome aboard, in hand it's a beauty of a coin.

I found this when I went to look at the RM website. It's not the same thing I know but do they mean a pair of the same coins? 

I suppose this exactly the same thing as at LPM website. Haven't seen it before at RM, thanks

[Colnago]

Is anyone else still waiting on their 2oz Panther?

[Cogload]

Ordered the 1oz silver yesterday, arrived today. No sign of spotting (but my eyesight is pretty poor) and it is a lovely design. Bit weird going on the RM site in that the green pop up bar allowed you to order when there was no indication of any in stock...so took the gamble and pleasantly surprised to say the least when I was allowed to order.

Ok RM are definitely milking this series. Yet another variation of the same coin in such a short space of time and this being the debut first coin as well!

Mintage is low so I'm sure it will be a must have for many! Good chance for those that missed out on the previous limited edition coins to grab this one.

Seems they have most silvers and all the golds in stock again to order. Should I be surprised these haven't sold out?

I rang RM last week about one of my 2 0z coins and they said they only manufactured half the mintage for most of the Panther coins and the rest would be produced later in the month.

I thought I'd give it a go and looks like they don't have any quarters available. 

[James32]

Seems to be letting me go to payment no problem

I assume that you have called the RM to ascertain the delay?

Yeah I don't think they know what they sold or even who they sold it too anymore. Probably sitting behind makeshift desks working off the process of elimination at this stage.

They are looking for a new "Head of Digital sales" as of yesterday! Seriously 🤣 did someone get sacked? Couldn't make this up.

Just rang RM and there are 382 2 ozs on order pending delivery but none left in stock - they need to be manufactured so might take a while. Apparently they only made half the mintage up front and got a bit caught out on the demand.  

There were 383  2 Oz's pending manufacture when I rang  last week ( I sent my  first one back for exchange)

In the same place, the Royal Mint are also looking for a Head of Marketing - this explains a lot!  However:

"Candidate requirements:

· Luxury digital marketing experience essential with deep knowledge of luxury ecommerce consumer behaviour and channels of influence

· Strong background in conceptualizing and delivering 360 multi-channel brand marketing campaigns

· Proven track record overseeing and delivering high visibility Influencer partnerships – organic and paid programming

· Strong fashion/luxury press, publisher, and industry relationships

· Experience directing and delivering elevated third-party content partnerships

· Significant experience in a similar role is essential.

· Extensive experience in delivery of commercial marketing strategies with demonstrable growth across a variety of markets is essential.

· A strong track record in direct and digital marketing working closely with sales teams in executing programs that accelerate growth in sales, new customer acquisition and market leadership

· Comprehensive experience of working with cross function teams to deliver strategic objectives is essential.

· Consistent record of building successful partnerships with senior management, sales, marketing & operations teams to influence and craft business plans & programmes that are results-driven in their approach"

It appears that a knowledge of coins is not necessary - this is going to go well !

That's under the "Senior Chemist" position, also up for grabs! 😅 I'm in awe at what is in the job spec below...hopefully this is a technical description of, "help us stop the milk spots"..

"

• Being familiar with the basics of oxidation-reduction reactions in chemistry.
• Wet chemistry skills such as dilutions, digestions, saponification, hydrolysis, and other techniques that may be required when preparing samples for analysis."
