For anyone reading who missed out on the 2oz.....get over to the sales page pronto 🙂

Extremely reasonable one for sale.

[Oldun]

Credit card still has the amount for 2nd continuity 2oz coin and both 5ozs on hold and ready to be taken by RM once they dispatch.

Yeah i was few hours after dispatch. 

[Oldun]

The RM is handling things reasonably well. Their website is poor re closed,  open orders if there are any cancellations etc…..that seems to be all.

So now comes the question do I send both off for grading, just sit on the spare? 

How can you be sure you sent the right one?

If I was into grading ,I'd send both.

I would agree. I haven't graded many coins, but there is quite a overhead in doing one if you do it yourself (postage if I remember, unless you can drop it off and pick it up ).

I would price up doing one, and two, and send them both anyway probably

I'll send both if I decide to grade then i get 2 swings at a 70

Strange way of working but I believe you will over the next day or two.

Hopefully not lol.

[NewCoins]

Oh my word. Just had my 2oz, 5oz and 10oz silver delivered. Obviously I have seen loads of pictures, but having it in hand is a different level. I love it. I am delighted.

Haven't had a proper look yet for issues but had a quick glance at all 3, nothing jumped out, fingers crossed.

Will take a good look later when I have some time.

So I thought I would be getting my 2 and 5 oz Silver Goatish today... just the 2oz arrived.. the replacement for the one I sent back... how long do they intend to keep me waiting

Yes, they have taken the money for everything. I have now received the 10, 5 and 2oz Silvers. All lovely and with NGC for grading. The last coin to arrive came today - 2oz. Money was taken yesterday.

[James32]

Just received my 4oz.......yep apparently I ordered two without realising 🤣

There was a small blip at the payment stage on release day ( I say blip but maybe overexcited on my part ) who knows lol.

But what I do know is that after just checking bank a second payment has just went out so 🤷 

Happy mistake 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

Iassume the single arms order gets cancelled due to the 1 coin policy the RM have ? If not, you have got lucky

That was not the case for me. I accidentally ordered both and they sent 2 quartered arms coins. I had no issue with it.

That happened to several of us on here. I received 2 as well after ordering the quartered arms and the continuity.

What's the date on the actual coin if you don't mind me asking 

I don’t know if it’s been answered already but here’s a better picture.

Result lol.

There was no continuity option for me ( high queue number) but still very happy as now ive kind of doubled my chances of getting the portrait. 

Option 1) queue as normal but highly unlikely to get anything considering all the allocated continuity sets ( very diminished numbers are likely to be available)

Option 2) either trade one of these for a spare portrait or sell and purchase a portrait at a secondary price.

Feel a lot better about March now 🙂

The date is MMXXI

M= One Thousand, therefore MM is two thousand.

X is ten, so XX is twenty

and I is one,

so, the date is two thousand and twenty-one.

I assumed he was asking about the obverse. But perhaps I was mistaken. I personally was looking out for potential mistakes on the obverse for newly minted ones.

I am assume we are also expecting 2021 on the portrait, on the obverse?

The Alderney has the original date on the reverse, one of many things going for it imo including a Jody Clark 'gothic Liz' portrait and more faithful weight and purity (plus they're already graded 70s)

On the other hand the Latin inscription is spelled wrong

The Latin mistake makes me smile.

[NewCoins]

Had a reasonably good look at the coins. Perhaps a scratch on the outside of the cap on one, no hopefully a hair in another. Pleased so far. Hopefully RM are upping their game

Did they send them together or separately?

Can't speak for the op......but I received both mine today ( 2 separate boxes and tracking numbers)
