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

[FFposh]

The e mail does suggest the order of the releases just by the way they are listed, if you go to the link for the 'collection'. This may or may not be common knowledge anyway and I may be wrong of course and no spoilers from me!

[ArgentSmith]

a naaaaah! from me too 

[FFposh]

I'm on the 10 X 1 Oz with box only. Will be looking for 3 each of 1/4oz Au and 2oz Ag bullion when released too.

I was thinking about it.... I've got two boxes coming with the second release. I could send those back without the boxes and then use them for this set. Not sure I will though.

I'd stick with the 10 set IMHO.....there releasing that much variants of the same coins ,its getting silly.

I was actually thinking yesterday when seeing a 5kg gold gothic portrait, if I was minted, I would buy a stack and use them as plates.

That's in no way disrespect for the coin, I just think it would be a nice touch on a massive dining table.

The two coin set isn’t for me. I’m only in on the 1/4oz gold coins. Sold the 1oz for charity and the 5oz separately. Not very good quality and not a fan of the larger designs. Smaller ones are nice so happy to have the 1/4 collection ongoing. 

[Stuntman]

I'm on the fence with this series and I only collect bullion (I can't be doing with the bunfight for the proofs).

It's a real tipping point for me.  I have actually now collected all the coins that I set out to collect five years ago (plus a few more along the way!) and now I need to decide whether to commit to collecting this series.

If I do commit, I would want to collect the 1/4 oz bullion gold and the 1 oz bullion gold in the same way as I have done for the QB bullion coins.

Once the first Tudor Beasts bullion coins come out, I will decide.  At the moment I am buying gold ETF units to hedge the potential future cost at the current spot price!

boooo

I too got this email and I really wish the Royal Mint wouldn’t try to dilute the milk from an already over milked cow.

I do feel that the release of so many ‘new’ releases in short succession is just a sign of profit gaining from RM.

It’s sadly possibly a sign that those of us who collect these new releases have to decide what is worth collecting and what isn’t.

The RM could, in the long run, trip themselves up if they aren’t careful.

I will be trying to get this set as I’ve wanted it from when I knew it was going to be released.  I liked the reverse proof QBs better than the regular proofs for some reason. Friday queue… here I come. 👀 

[westminstrel]

Meanwhile, it does not bode well that all denominations except the 2 Oz silver are still available.

 I think the series is off to a poor start, the panther just looks too goofy, I just can't see it being a long term lasted after item and if this is the style/standard we can expect going forward then I think it's a miss.

 I reckon the small silvers sold easy enough to collectors but with the more expensive stuff you really have to think about future value and I don't see the golds holding theirs. With that said the reverse proof are relatively low numbers so maybe be worth it?

 I wouldn't say no to bullion coins or even bars of these though just as something different to stack, while the mint are pummelling us with 'collectables' there really hasn't been much of interest in the bullion side since the last myths and legends coin (soverign excluded).

[Fishface220]

Personally I think people will jump on it mainly because of the success of the Queens Beasts and the fear of missing out and having to pay the premiums at a later date. My plan was always just to stack but I will be looking out for the 1/4 bullion gold and a few bullion silver when they finally appear.

RM site is down in preparation for the launch. Good luck to everyone who wants the set... 

[paulmerton]

The Queue URL contains "Platinum+Jubilee+Gold+PNC", which seems unexpected if it's just the Seymour Panther popping up...

The seymour panther set at a minimum is certainly available

[paulmerton]

Oh, looks like the platinum jubilee coin covers are going live!

[NewCoins]

I am buying neither of these. I will take a look but almost certainly not buying 

[Alz111]

Anyone got in ?
