you can buy one off coin or subscribe to the 10 coin series i.e. when the next is released you will get that

10 coin option better I think.

Nice....can you/anyone please tag me when this is due to release? Missed on the last one. Thank you

2oz and 5oz silver now gone.

[apachebleu]

I am sure these will be collectibles but I just can't get get on with the design, I really think it looks stupid, almost like a children's drawing.

 Then again I guess I'm in the minority that are loving the myths and legends coins so horses for courses I guess.

[MintCollectionsImports]

Looks like they are starting to show sold out.

10 oz Silver Sold Out

5 oz Silver Sold Out

Well, yet another bizarre experience with the Royal Mint!

I decided not to buy anything but I was interested to see what was available.

At 9am I was awaiting my turn in the queue.

At 9.01 there were 692 before me in the queue - not too many I thought.

At 9.02 there were 606

At 9.03 there were 582

At 9.04 there were 525

At 9.05 there were 504

At 9.06 there were 441

At 9.07 there were 393

At 9.08 there were 358

At 9.09 there were 321 - this was taking a lot longer than I had anticipated.

At 9.10 there were 297

At 9.11 there were 210

At 9.12 there were 184

At 9.13 there were 123

At 9.14 there were 86

At 9.15 there were 10

I eventually entered the website at 9.16 only to struggle to find the new coins!  Clicking on the most obvious options got me nowhere!  With the help from members of the Forum I managed to find the coins.  This was a bizarre experience.  And as someone has already said, it does not bode well for the Gothic issue.

 

[HerefordBullyun]

managed to bag myself a  2oz

[Oliman]

10oz are still available to order on the phone apparently

[Stacktastic]

I had 2 x 2oz in the basket  - went to add a 1oz and it dropped me
I shall collect the 1oz set then it seems. Bought 2 of them. 

I refuse to buy a quarter oz coin for £650! 

It says no longer available i wonder if this is set for a certain amount of time and then they become available again?? 
But i guess there are only 2000 of them!

Currently holding on phone with RM customer service - theyve taken a payment, but nothing showing on my account online! 🤬

No orders, nothing...

 

They guy is speaking to his supervisor apparently

 

Had submitted an order for 1 x 1oz Silver proof & 2 BU coins...

I'm in the same position. Funds taken from bank, but order not showing in open orders yet. Hopefully this will sort itself out soon...

Probably because most people cannot find it!

[CollectorNo1]

I managed to get in to the site within minutes...that's a first for me!! But didn't buy anything..still didn't feel the wow factor..good luck to all that are still waiting..👍

[Chrispringle85]

In the queue from 08.30 got on the site at 09.30 what a joke! . Bought the 2oz silver over fear of missing out at available to order. Not sure if this means I have got one or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

[xthomasx]

Just bought the 1oz silver and the sheet metal - just as in the QB series.

No VAT was charged. Let's see what the waylayers over here will do 😉

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I wish I recorded things more accurately.

 

I was a little late to the party.

Joined RM website 8:57.

This time, I decided to hit refresh during the "awaiting product launch" page. 

I do wonder whether refreshing helps or not? Or maybe makes no difference whatsoever? Obviously I wouldn't refresh once issued a queue number but between 8:50 and 9:00 during the product launch page, that's a mystery to me as to what tactic is best?

Joined 9:00, no. 857 in queue

Took forever to get in. Joined somewhere around 9:17 as I remember

 

When I couldn't find the pages, I just called customer services. Was on hold so long that by the time I spoke to someone, the website was fixed again and most items were available to order (around 9:37). She did confirm technical issues on the website.

Instead of ordering online, I just went through with telephone order, since I'd waited so long on the phone.

Not sure if that info is of any help to anyone. The main thing for me is wondering whether to refresh or not during the pre-queue number. I can report back whether my telephone order is successful, if anyone cares to know lol...
