The silver proof coins are not continuity coins so some people may have accidentally ordered two instead of their allotted one per household ? If so, some may come back onto the site ? Just a thought.

So I have ordered the 2oz and the 5oz by trying to get it done so quick I have only ordered the quartered arms. 

I tried to phone and get them to change to series but not possible as sold out. But don't understand how second half can be sold out if I have the first coin.

Anyway I have the first ones and I guess in March a couple will go up on the website of the portrait as I cannot get them included  

At least I got something.

I was 464 in the queue and only the 2oz silver was left. Happy to have bagged one as I have one silver 2oz of the whole series now. 
 

What would be the ideal ‘fair launch’ ?

 

I think this way is the best way of launching it- judging by the content of the thread it’s a fair lottery…

that is correct my second attempt to turn my 2oz to the series one has already been cancelled.

So, a good friend of mine got in super early, he was about 200 in the queue at 9am

He saw zero listings for the 5 oz gold 

All that he could see was the 2 oz silver, 5 oz silver 10 oz silver and 2 oz gold

He was super lucky to get the 2 oz gold

I was 400th in the queue and had the 2 oz gold in my basket before it disappeared - I was so close but no banana.

 

I was 205 in the queue, are you my super friend?

I added the 2oz gold to my basket before buying all the silver ones instead, and it was still in stock after I bought those. I was tempted, but lol 5k! Did I miss a trick there

None for me. Two hours in the queue. I think it is the first time I didn't get anything since I started collecting RM stuff. 

On the positive side, I just saved 260 pounds.

Hope the Gold is still available when I get home from work

Wen't for gold. Got Silver. Didn't expect to get placed at 5000 something in the queue. Luckily my father was able to get a 300ish position. Bagged a 2oz silver.

Then the part i am worried about. He then went back ordered another 2oz silver to my address, with my payment details. What's the chance's of (A) having both orders cancelled, (B) One order cancelled, or (C) all arrives just fine? Should i ring the RM and discuss is what's on my mind now.

 They'll probably just cancel one i think

A queue to discover the rainbow has evaporated….

So I was a panicking and went for the series option. Can someone actually tell me what I bought with the other coin? 😂

[Jeffers46]

I was expecting Lizzie to be in gothic style too… what’s the deal with that?

[James32]

Congratulations to everyone that bagged gold or the 10oz/5oz silver very well done.

[SilverDrum]
