OK, this is really interesting.

I put a few really lowball cheeky offers into ebay for the 2 oz gold, never going to be accepted.

What it has allowed though is when an item sells to see what it actually sold for, very interesting. 

This one that was listed at £10,999 buy it now just sold for £8500

Someone got a great deal there I think. 

LOL - idid a cheeky offer of £7200 on that - must have panicked and accepted a higher one of £8500 - short term flipper.

so after showing my sister, my previous great engravers coins and showed her the Gothic crown, she fell in love with the design and decided to do aRoyal Mint account and buy one. I told her what she had to do on release date. * Note: She has only few coins (mostly presents from me) to her collection. So she got in the queue and she had very low number and managed to grab a gold coin 😎 . (Yes thats the first coin she bought from Royal Mint 😭). I guess its newbies luck. Anyways , my question is, will she be offered the next gold coin of the set by the mint? Or does she need to contact them? Or is it offered only to mint marquee members?

Spending nearly £5k on the gold. she’s already a silver member, just call the mint and ask about mint marque service. And they’ll call you back.

It's strange how they work....

On both the tudor beasts and sovereigns they never took my money until the day before dispatch. 

But on the gothic crown....poof money gone straight away ( but I'm still in open orders) 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been a bit trusting and not followed them up to see if I’ve secured it (it’s on the to do list for Monday)

Sounds like you have one though !

I'd expect nothing less from the Guardian.

They probably think investing in water is just as good as Gold/Silver.

You laugh but I have several Lego sets that have appreciated 1500%+. It really is a solid investment.

Between both palms press palms together and turn. Hey at least your capsule wasn't open on arrival. If it looks good I would just send to ngc in capsule and pay 5$ for capsule return.

Here’s my dad’s coin under 5x magnification (looks pretty minty so will probably send it for grading for him), can anyone see any issues??

I’ve not received mine yet but mines the continuity purchase, saying that, my dads was supposed to be the continuity one also 🤷‍♂️.

Mine’s marked as despatched with a Green tick ✅ but no tracking number so I believe I might receive it in January 🤷‍♂️ (if at all).

We both bought and paid for the single then minutes later saw the continuity option so we both bought that too. My A.M has said in writing that I’ll get both “sides” (portrait to follow) so fingers crossed (not sure about my dad). They’ve took his money x 2 already and my A.M said my single has been cancelled, so I expect his has too.

Right mess!!

Anyway, glad to have one!! They really do look so much better physically. 

Is that a bump right side of the coin outer ring above the L? And look round the lip on the edge of the coin as I tend to find if their dinged that's most likely asto where

Is anyone else in the RM ‘cancellations’ queue?

I was told I was number 19 in the queue and I’d hear from them by Thursday/Friday of this week so I presume their silence is that I haven’t been lucky. 😕

Two hours in a queue for nothing but having said that I’m enjoying seeing all of the photos of those who were lucky.

P.S Can 19 of you send yours back. Asking for a friend. 😆

NGC have never returned anything ive sent them, capsules , COA, packaging around notes etc, despite asking for it and checking the option , it never comes back. Annoying on things like the large 5oz capsules.
