I prefer the Massachusetts telephone dollar coin over the Royal Mint telephone £2 coin which is part of the American Innovation dollar coin series.

The order of release of the coins in the American Innovations dollar coin series is determined by when each place became a state.

The Jubilee £5 release(individual) , release date the 7th January( I think), will include a gold proof version, mintage 400, and a piedfort platinum proof version, mintage 52.

Which obverse will it have, do you know? I like the JC obverse - somehow the “Queen on horseback portrait” which they’ve used on Jubilee coinage since 1977 has never appealed to me.

The 2017 £5 platinum piedfort proof coin for the Queen and Prince Philip’s Platinum Wedding Anniversary was priced at £4675.

So out of my price range. 😕

Hey @westminstrel, my reading of it is that the annual sets will have the JC portrait (my preference in this case also) and the separate releases will have the queen on horseback. This applies to the £5 and “70” 50p (I think) in the gold, platinum and silver ranges. Going to be pricey though, here are the release details, mintages etc:

although the platinum mintage set is only 30 (nearly £10k for the set!), my preference is still the gold, a snip at £7.1k 😂…

[westminstrel]

@SilverMike- Thanks so much for this. I will probably try my luck with the regular silver proof set.

The dream would be to get the platinum, but at that price point, it will have to remain a dream.

[NewCoins]

Does anyone thinks its needed to queue, or there will be lots left over the coming weeks ?

I am thinking the latter. I would like to have good look and don't want to panic buy!

I know I am being pedantic here, but surely the RM should have worked out it is 2022!

They have put the queue on early

Every year I resolve to buy the Premium Proof Cupronickel Set but never get around to it 😂.

They are great value 👍 

This special occasion year I’m buying the Premium Set, to get my Jody Clark fix!  And this alongside the forthcoming £5 individual Silver Proof with Her Majesty on Horseback. 

The Premium Proof Set is a beautiful presentation for only £210.

I look at it this way, the wooden box must be worth £20 and free postage if you order by phone must be worth a tenner- so that leaves £180 for 13 coins and a medal- that’s an average of £12.85 per coin!

Absolute Bargain and a wonderful momento 👍

For anyone looking at the gold set, it seems to be shipping late May!

The queue has not started yet.

I believe when the queue officially starts at 9 am, whoever is on the website will be assigned a random queue number - regardless of how long they were waiting before the queue started. Those who access the website after these random numbers are allocated will be added to the back of the queue in sequence. At least there’s my understanding of how this works.

The queue has started for me.

Well, to be specific, the queue it system is active, I am not actually in a queue yet

That’s exactly what I mean - there is no queue yet.

[westminstrel]

The Queue-it system will start a queue automatically at 9 am and randomly allot queue numbers to people.

What I originally meant (poorly worded on my behalf) is the queue it system was active at 8.00 (early). Its normally 8.30 the majority of the time

Agreed.

I'm guessing these aren't going to be anywhere near as popular as this year's sovereigns if there's a household limit of 10 again? That's a crazy limit for something that there's only 1000 of!

I think this may be the direct link to the new range:

It seems to be 5 for the silver proof set (!) and 1 for the gold proof as far as I can tell. 

I think these will be available for quite some time to come (weeks). But you never know I guess

Yes. That's where it'll be when you reach the end of the queue.
