Royal Mint - Great Engravers 2021 - Gothic Crown information

[westminstrel]

One quirky thing about the Quartered Arms coin is that the date features on both sides - 2021 on the obverse and MMXXI on the reverse. 

So if they did erroneously use 2022 for the obverse, that’d be something. 🙂

[westminstrel]

I can’t see them making a date error on the reverse since that would entail someone deliberately reworking the die to have MMXXII.

I know whose nuts would be roasting on an open fire if I were to purchase it😎

Does anybody know if all gold and silver denominations had the continuity available? I’m just curious if there will be any coins available when it comes time for the Portrait release in March. I would like to try for the 5 oz silver of that since I missed out on it for the Quartered Arms but didn’t know if any would be left to even make it worth trying.

I don’t know is if there was a continuation option for the larger denominations but unless you’re lucky and get an early queue number there’s no hope of getting one.

Your best bet is to phone them and hope you get through quickly.

I don’t know what had happened to their queue it system but it’s an absolute shambles. I had no problem getting a 3 graces with a high queue number but with the more recent releases I’m not wasting my time for such a small chance of getting one

Just received a notification that my 10oz silver is arriving tomorrow. What a great Christmas present! 🥳 Just a shame that I had to pay for it myself! 🤣

Got a Christmas card from my RM account manager.  Just have to see if I'm on the good or naughty list next year!

No quit a hard lockdown but they are now fining people £60 if they go to work  when they could work from home, the Welsh Government is very similar to Australia’s left wing stasi. 

 

 This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard, people who rely on their wages do what they are told. This is really cynical putting the blame on an employee, I don't see that ending well.

 Still, gives us time to discuss our 2023 portraits....

What really messed up the queue system on this past release was if you ordered the Quartered Arms and the continuity you got two of the coin which cleared out the inventory twice as fast. Not complaining though as it happened to me!

Can someone that has been following the whole thread link or remind those of us that pop in and out where the speculation is for the next Great Engraver after William Wyon? I remember seeing a couple posts of some good speculation but can't find them again despite searching. What's the top speculation right now?

So lots of exciting new coins coming soon!

I've just put a cheeky offer (still mad money) on a 5oz Gold - need reassurance it was not completely dumb?

£16250 - 5oz gold Gothic Crown (and 1st refusal on Portrait)

 

Ebay had a 2oz sell for 12995 - so ratio better! 

[GoldDiggerDave]

@BarryWoods I have a 5oz gold in hand with a continuation order.  Pm me if interested.

 Wonder if the Prince William 40th birthday coin will get 100 pages on here 🤣

With it being a Jubilee year I can see a new coin every month! I just hope they do us collectors justice.  @MancunianStacker post about the proclamation looks very interesting.

There is a fifteen thousand pound face value gold coin = 15kg coin

so just at melt value that's around £600,000+ 

The Mint RRP will be ????

Probably a mintage of x1

I know its utter mental face value coin.  Won't be long before Sunak starts getting the mint to knock up Billion pound coins so he can balance the books.
