Una is obviously a very in demand coin still. But auctions can so easily be be fixed , Not that we ever would but two of us here who both own unas could list one and both bid against each other until it was over 100k, hell why not make it 200k?!?, a new record! we then make payment and split the 6% commission cost. For a mere few grand each our coins now have a past sales history of over 200k. Now we list somewhere else with a 160k reserve and hope a wealthy buyer thinks they are getting a bargain.

Shhushhh stop giving away all my secrets😁

Main thing is something decent comes soon, well needed after a long year of disappointing releases

[Sc391]

I also am hoping for something a bit more interesting than the petition crown.  Una, Three Graces, and gothic portrait/quartered arms were all beautiful choices.  Maybe this series has created a tough act to follow by starting at the top?

Don't worry guys, it's not the Petition Crown. It's the Reddite Crown

[dikefalos]

What about the Great Engravers bars? Even though the 3G bar is very disappointing, I would love a Gothic bar.

With all these investments at this pace in 2022 and the rising price of gold, it's maybe time to not be so tempted again and make some economy by slowing down the investment, at least for Collection coins (I am aiming for bullion and liquid coins however)
Even if I would love a special and nice design such as the WW St George or a nice Pistrucci design for the next GE, especially with the last QEII, I am secretly hoping it will not be iconic  enough to pass my turn this year

I have a feeling that it will be another two coin issue In either February or March.

Not sure of the design but like some others not so keen on the Petition Crown.

[NumismaticNI]

Not so keen either, these 2 part coins are dreadful..

I was told by my Royal Mint account manager that it will be something that I will like, but she is very salesy! 🤣

I've got two account mangers and they tell me FA.

Do share your likes with us please. 😊

[Chrisplym]

@westminstrel That is a very good question. From a coin perspective my likes include sovereigns, guineas, Queen’s Beasts, Tudor Beasts and the previous Great Engravers releases.

Then I hope your RM Account Manager might be hinting at William Wyon’s St. George and the Dragon design. 😊

Very nice coins but way out of my collecting budget - in total for the rest of my life……….

The gold three graces is spectacular- I have the 5 ounce silver and it’s not bad itself.

[westminstrel]

Thanks @Paul. Seeing these types of coins brings me joy - just to know that such beauties are out there, even though I will of course never be able to own one.

I hope the buyers cherish them. They’re true treasures, not simply in terms of value, but of historical interest.

Has anyone got an updates on the release date of the next coin in the Engravers series, and possibly know what coin is coming?

I think they're still trying to work out how to put two rows of sticky-outy text on the edge of the petition crown.

[NumismaticNI]

I don't see it being the petition crown.

It is the petition crown mate. What else would it be if not?

[NumismaticNI]

I'll be happy to have this in my collection. Not the most eye appealing but for what it is, it's the next best to the original which I'll never own. Will sell quickly. Just hope lucky enough to secure. 

 

I just didn't think they'd release a second crown so early on. I'll be disappointed if don't get my hands on these
