 Still, best get ready to queue chaps,though I suspect it may be a short one

Not much point queueing these days, RM sell to many of the dealers as well these past six months, so you'll normally find the likes of Chards, BBP etc are also selling at the same time and prices.

Can't see the bullion? Only proof, anyone else?

 Yeah but with the 500 reverse proofs I don't want to chance missing it.

 Just looking, who in their right mind is spending 12.5k on the 5oz gold proof? That's just so weird to me the idea that niche exists

 I assume that will come later like the last few releases? I wonder why they don't just release them together

Picked up the reverse proofs and the 1/4 ounce is on order. Now just waiting for the merry go round of returns until I get a half decent coin!

Note that it's called the Black Bull of Clarence on the list of Tudor beasts at https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/the-royal-tudor-beasts/seymour-panther-2022/the-tudor-beasts-collection/, but only Bull of Clarence on the coin.

I had forgotten it was on a 2018 coin where they did use the full name:

I guess if you already have the others, can afford it and will enjoy it, then probably 👍🏼

Only have one proof so I'll pass I think....collect the bullion series 🙂

Good choice. Same amount of gold and better looking (in my opinion). Hopefully be available from dealers soon 👍🏼

I thought that had assumed mythical status now.....

Got the frikkin 2-coin silver reverse proof set.

Curiously, there is no max mintage specified for the reverse proof coin; only the presentation limit of 500. 🤔

 Hmm, I hadn't noticed that. I got the set too, I think it's a fun little collection, look forward to seeing them in the metal

[AaaGee]

Just pre ordered the silver proof from BBP (sorry) as im locked out of my RM account. I've rung them so many times about it and nothing ever gets done!

Can i assume there wont be any mintage limits on the 2oz bullion?

Will need 4 but need to save my money back for a month or 2 before i purchase them.

The bullion versions of today’s coin have not been released yet. 

[SiCole]

I know its rammed down our throat in society to be more 'inclusive', but i cant help but feel like i am building a small gay gold zoo at the moment. You're a bull FFS, not something that looks like it identifies as a marshmellow.

No there's no mintage limit on the bullion as far as I'm aware. You have until the end of the year to get them at their normal bullion price so no rush. Just a case now of when those are released as well

Surprising.... the bullion lion was released at the same time the proof was released as far as I remember?
