I'm sorry - don't mean to offend anyone but - The Three Graces was an awesome design and it gave people something to queue for  - but this ... No way. Royal Mint Marketing department at its finest.

Everyone has their own taste. It's not right or wrong. Heck some people like Tesla

Did everyone have mid January shipping date for the silver or is it different for everyone? That’s nearly a 6 week wait for me 🥲 

The RM guy today told me that mine will be shipped after Christmas…😂

I was told mine will be the 26th Jan. Something along the lines of, they will send all 3 in one shipment and that's when the last one will be ready.

God only knows why they couldn't have all of these ready in time. It shouldn't have been a surprise.

It kept letting me see the full website this morning,then back to website is down etc etc..then to the queue which was at 1,988 or something.

it then took forever to move and after an hour i noticed from the forum everything was gone so gave up.

I see the flippers and normal lot got one of everything so what a pile of s****.Never got **** all before so not doing this terrible again.

only wanted a 2 oz

Am I the only one thinking its not really a gothic crown with the current queen on? Dont get it

Would have been better being an exact replica at least of the real thing with queen Vic 

I think it looks ok with The Queen on, imagine if it was Charles instead. 😬

[GoldDiggerDave]

The lyrics in this song is just sublime for anyone in the queue..............

This is a good point then it would be a tragedy like i say love the coin but wish it had the original portrait well done everyone who got one 

[Foster88]

I’m happy for everyone who was able to get what they wanted. I don’t want to be bitter after sitting in the queue for two hours to get nothing. I still don’t understand how they allocate the position numbers.

I did call RM just before 11am when I got in and saw there was nothing left, they have added me to their cancelled list which he explained is a first come first served basis. He told me I’m number 19 in the queue, so I might still get the 2oz Silver afterall.

If I don’t, I’ve enjoyed this thread and it’s great to see the community spirit of this forum, everyone helping, discussing and advising each other.

It’s what it’s all about. 😊

@terakris , @AndrewSL76 It's the Reddite crown or something, the coin design.

My brain told me that was a really weird name while trying to access it from my memory 🤷‍♂️ 

Turns out it's a Thomas Simon design, the most un-weird name on the list...

I think you mean the ‘petition crown’. Fantastic if so. Wonder how the hell they are going to do that!!!! Grading would be a waste of time, for sure!!!!

Yes, but I am an idiot because the Reddit was produced later with less lettering. So obvs they would go with that one!!

That's it, apparently it takes the name Reddite from its inscription edge🤷‍♂️

Reddite, Petition? they look the same to me...

Whilst we all thought they would do well ,that's just mental!

£ for £ turning out to be the best investment?

[Paul]

£1000 / £260 = x3.84 your cash in a day

Another auction at £930 with 6 days left 🙈

Just caught up on this thread. Been busy working!! 😓 

So, at 9am I got 550th (ish) place, ordered a 2oz Silver (all that was left) then, when I was busy looking around at “what I could have won” I spotted the two coin continuity option 🤦‍♂️ so ordered that too (assumed one would be cancelled). Shortly later the continuity option disappeared but the Quarter only option was still available to order. 

Apparently I will receive the two coin series after checking with RM 😮‍💨 

I’ll probably get nothing 😂 

[FlorinCollector]

@James32 I think only better was three graces 2oz silver. Out the gate you could get 2k.
