Decided to get a nickel date stamped horseback crown from Westminster Collection, otherwise it's living in regret come the four day bank holiday this summer🥳 Is it me or are the RM queues getting bigger and longer - 10106 at 10.16AM yesterday? Even Westminster Collection had two queues yesterday🤔

The queue system has definitely changed. In the past I'd get on earlly and wait and that generally always got me a decent enough spot to get what I was after. Since the Sov launch though its been pretty awful with queue spots generally well in the thousands. Don't know why its suddenly changed but it is what it is. Thankfully other dealers usually list big coin releases after the initial 9am RM release time so there are options apart from the RM. You can also ring the mint if you get in the queue and discover you have a terrible position. Those two options are the only way I managed to get the 2022 proof sovs I wanted and the Gothic Crown.

I think this release was slightly off from the norm more generally because it was very well publicised with most media outlets doing a piece on these coins. I even had people who know I have an interest in coins asking about them because they'd seen it on the BBC or whatever. Would of meant there were more people trying than normal yesterday morning.

I think the change to the Queue-it system is their way of addressing the previous problem with overselling their products. There was such a large number of orders made simultaneously that they were typically overselling and then faced with a backlash from angry customers that had their orders cancelled. To address the issue, they have slowed the Queue-it system down to a snails pace. To Fix one problem, they have created another.

£200 for the two-coin silver set here  https://www.westminstercollection.com/p-UDT2/UK-2022-Platinum-Jubilee-Silver-Proof-50p-Pair.aspx

Opening price was £130, I ordered the Maximum of three Coinster.

[SilverJacks]

The SOTD is back available at Chards. Just had an email saying £790, but it's currently listed at £715. At a modest rise from RRP, that's still a great deal right?

I only collect in nickel and silver. Can't afford platinum...couldn't say.

Check your closed orders and see what's in there you haven't received yet?

Yes just noticed that 

[westminstrel]

I see that the RM also released an art print.

Looks like an edition limit of 130 or 150.

Not that I would want to buy it, but posting it here for posterity’s sake as I didn’t see this on the website.

How on earth did you find that? 😀

[westminstrel]

Oh also, that’s the shield with mantle art print.

The ebay art print is of the flourish E II R design.

I googled the listing title without "5oz" and it popped up! Then wondered why it was impossible to find on the RM website without a direct link! Never saw it for sale on release day either!

[SilverDrum]

You’re on a roll finding these. I couldn’t find them and the search seems a little weird to me.

By the way since this thread is active… did the Royal Mint send out any brochures for this range?

I was wondering just the other day whether this is the worst time of year to buy silver coins online. They're likely to sit in extremely cold vans or warehouses overnight during the delivery process, which could attract condensation directly onto the coins when they are moved into a warmer environment, even if they are not taken out of their capsules (they're not airtight and they will already contain some air anyway).

Oh well, mine have just arrived so I'll find out if mine are the same soon!

Photoshop? 

I don't know why, but that just doesn't look right to me.

[caf84]

Understood.

Just thinking out loud.

Very sad if true.
