I actually got an invite a few weeks ago to attend the release at Hampton court next Wednesday... the Missus an me are going

I was also lucky enough to receive an invite, but turned it down due to work commitments. Didn’t realise that you could take your wife as well. I thought that the invite was for just one person. If I knew this I may have taken the afternoon off work to attend.

Initial designs of the new coin series aren't amazing they are simply meh ...however I will probably start collecting them. 🤣

A more detailed and different design approach to the QB series would entice me more to collect different sets of these coins but I get the feeling they (RM) are just milking it with the releases now. They probably anticipate the same amount of appeal as the QB series. Only time will tell...

[Chrisplym]

The more variations around the same theme issued by the Royal Mint unfortunately simply devalues the coins already produced and make them less special. Such a shame.

Easy pass!

In my opinion the RM are marketing the QB series (multiple and completer coins etc) without any focus on their customers.

- Releasing an additional completer coin was just plain wrong.

- Releasing the completer and announcing the new QB serieus before finishing the original series is strike two.

- Doing a slightly different design of the same coins is boring.

A shame for such a great mint. But this is just terrible marketing if you ask me and a big middle finger to the costumers. I'll pass on and new RM releases.*

 

Just my two sterling bullion completer cents.....

 

*Exception for Sovereigns obviously. 

[KevinFlynn]

Should we mention milk spots?

Yeah completer was just a scam/money maker for the RM, it is not part of the 10 coin set but is a very nice stand alone coin for anyone who missed out on the set.

For some reason this reminded me of a character in Mario Kart 8...

[Stuntman]

Well it least this big cat wasn't called Seymour Pussy 😉

Yeah I hate when they do too many variations - there’s also a 1 Oz silver this time.  So that’s yet another denomination to dilute the offering.

By the way I’ve PMed you. 🙂

At least they didn't forget to finish QB ;))

The Royal Mint has posted a YouTube link of a launch event for the Royal Tudor Beasts - seemingly their next series - on October 7.

 

Anyone interested in a sneak preview?

"Durham" variety! 😎

Anyone want to "see more" panthers?

or in gold:

I hope these aren't classed as self-promotion!

Will the Royal Mint's designs be as good as ours?

We will have to wait until tomorrow to see even more panthers..

Which reminds me "Do panthers have spots?" 😎

Ladies/Gents,

As very much a Newbie to the Precious Metals world, I wanted to ask advice from seasoned members of the Forum re the buying strategy (forgetting the design issue!) of the first coin of a new series.

The Tudor beasts are released tomorrow, the question is this.

Assuming that I would like 3-4 quarter ounce gold coins and a selection of silver, does the smart money buy tomorrow or wait to pick them up, hopefully cheaper, from a dealer sometime later?? Do these things ever run out in the first month or so?

I missed the QBs so would like to get on board with this series.

I hope not a silly question, nor in wrong thread.

Thanks.

Upped or reduced mintage I wonder. Feel a lot of people will have the FOMO from the last series because they are new to collecting so will want in on this one.

Well the QB's and the Great Engravers series for example sold out in seconds or minutes...you have to have lots of luck on your side as the RM's system usually freezes...you can have items in your cart (if your lucky to get in to the site on the your first attempt) and not receive the coin/s as you just can't reach the checkout stage due to system problems... As others have commented..the RM are milking this series and not just on the condition of the coins.. I don't think the King's beasts will be as popular as the QB"s imo but....(fomo) will kick in and they will probably sell out quickly..depending on the mintages..then some will be flipped on the secondary market for silly money...So if you like them try and get what you want tomorrow as prices will increase on sites like ebay within an hour for all of those that were successful in getting the coins..

Regards. (Hope it hasn't put you off) 😊😊🤣

Not necessarily put me off but definitely smacked me around the chops and knocked my rosy glasses off!! There was my vision of The Royal Mint pandering to my every whim as I perused their new offerings sipping on champagne...

It was supposed to be a bit of fun collecting for my kids' futures, I'm not sure I want to get my old gumshield out scrapping for the odd panther of whatever colour.

I will look tomorrow with eyes open and see what's going on!

What a problem🤣🤣

Thanks for setting me straight👍

 

 

 

[Alz111]

Can’t wait for the release tomorrow morning 

[magpie79]

Am slightly concerned That a U.K. based coin forum failed to find the design of a U.K. coin first before the Germans did ?

What’s all that about !

Haha...the QB's were a lovely set I purchased a few but wasn't init at the beginning so didn't buy the set..The RM do have a problem with milkspots and quality control on there coins which can be on the coin when you receive it and can appear overtime (Not always) which every person who collects or stacks silver hates. Saying that it's not just silver bullion or proofs from RM it happens with all mints from around the world. I've been very fortunate that none of my Silver coins has developed milkspotting so its not a constant but something to think about when buying silver coins.

Have a look at the designs of the QB's set...they are special and loved by many a collector...then compare them with the first of the King's beasts coin tomorrow...it will give you a good idea what the set will look like going forward.

Good luck and hope it works out for you.

Regards.
