Yeah, to have the funds, then be able to get to front of the queue, and then make payment. Slim chances me thinks. 

Even harder when your hand's are shaking from all the excitement!

[ArgentSmith]

But the mintage, I cant believe there might be 350 as well as the "superior" 125. It begs the question who are flippers going to flip to.

Im keeping my fingers crossed for 225

I’m sure this has been discussed further up this thread but can someone remind me of the RM price of the 2oz Una and lion and the three graces?

I own neither of these but curious how the gothic crown release will be priced.

I don't have info for the gold to hand but the silver 2oz were:

Una - £180

3Gs -£250

What is the going price for an 1oz gold una bar these days?

 I'd be interested to know as well

 There's one on ebay for 1770 just now, so worth watching to see if it sells https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Una-the-Lion-1-Oz-one-ounce-gold-bar-minted-BNIP-bullion-999-9-fine-Limited-/194505952339?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Based on sold items, seems to be an average of 1500+

 I'm surprised by the lack of love these have gotten, I know coins are everyone's focus but they are really lovely.

One of these bars was actually in my first ever gold order from the mint along with a brittania and a qb completer, I knew nothing about numismatics and had no intention of becoming a collector I just had a notion to buy some gold for a rainy day/emergency and picked the 3 nicest looking 1oz items....its amazing how quickly you get sucked in though, 9 months later I've spent way too much, read way too much and became a bit obsessed. 

 Could be worse I suppose, imagine I'd decided to buy crack instead and make that my new hobby

😅😅 the una was my first purchase from the mint also ( been stacking a few years before that point) and seen it on a byb video. 

I'd expect in another few years it will carry a bigger premium ( only 5000 minted)

Will there be extra high quality control on this release? Seemed even the Sovereign had issues this year which was disappointing.

If a buy any bullion I always buy what I call "bonus" bullion something that could have potential to add some numismatic value, we have all seen the Queens Beast 1oz gold fetch some very good premiums.  I got the Una and Lion 1oz gold as I felt if they produced a 3graces bullion product then possibly there could be a little more demand for the U&L.  

The 2022 bullion sovereign will be a no brainer worth getting a tube or so, I agree with what @Paul said if you are holding box standard gold bullion there is a very good argument for trading this in or the 2022 bullion sovereign.  

[AurumArgenti]

If I can land another 2oz silver I'll be more than happy. Anything else is a bonus 😉.

Una and the lion is such a beauty

Same, it's tomorrow for sure.

I get who rm has for customers/investors but given the price point and other investments it would be nice to get a heads up before a release date especially if your after say the gold or larger silver

those in Mint Marque who have had calls from their RM account managers, we still have not been verbally told 100% " The Gothic Crown is launching Monday 6th Dec at 9am "  

it is more " you will probably be aware of the online chatter on forums and social media, the launch is soon, whilst we cannot confirm or deny dates and we are just doing the admin and wondering your level of intention what you would be seeking to purchase, as we arrange the allocations of our pool of allocated stock " kind of reply.

I do wonder if it weren’t for consumer or trading laws whether they would sell exclusively to preferred buyers with nothing left at all for general public…

This sounds about right for the RM. 

The thing is it wouldn't be a coin then
