Royal Mint £20 for £20 silver coin

[jayboat]

Hi, 

Was just wondering if anyone knew anything about when the next one in the series is going to be released. It feels like it been a long time since they released one and i would be disappointed if they were stop the series, especially after releasing £100 and £50 coins.

I have collected a few of each coin so far and am hoping in a few years i will have a pure  (all bought on release) royal mint date run collection. Its the only coin i buy from them as im a stacker so its normally STG are goldsilver.be for me, but i just like this coin.

They had such a backlash after they were declared not legal tender are they carrying on?

There is the Queen's birthday £20 for £20

Other than that, I imagine they are rethinking the situation.  Many were sent back for refunds when it came to light that the face value meant nothing.

Thanks for the reply. I just looked the royal mint site the other evening, i guess it was released yesterday. I would guess that as long as they keep selling, they will keep making them. They still have a decent resale value on the likes of ebay, but i have noticed a definite drop on the premium. 

Happy days, im off the buy 3 of these bad boys.

I'm not sure about resale.  I've seen the 50 for 50 going for 50 on ebay if they are lucky.

These were released a while ago [emoji1]

I received mine last week.

[StackemHigh]

I'm not to impressed with the design but I'll probably get 1 anyway. 

[jayboat]

I have also seen a couple of the £50 selling for £50, but £50 for a 1 oz coin is not that bad.

Thats weird i never saw them Danny, i even googled searched it and everything last weekend. 

And,i do not really like the design either, it look like 2 back sides to me. I still look forward to receiveing them

I hope the RM has decided to abandon the £20 series as I don't wish to buy any new issues.

I'm with you on that one!!!

[jayboat]

Why? 

These came out around 6 months after i started stacking and were the first royal mint stuff i bought. I thought you couldnt lose buying a £20 silver coin for £20, of course turns out not to be the case.

So these are like a treat for me and i buy 3 of each issue. 1 each for me and the 2 kids but i hold them all, haha. I have other royal mint stuff now, but none as over priced. And as i mentioned before, i would like to date run these. So, i will keep buying them as long as they release them.

 

Email of the Mint confirming they are on their way this afternoon

Got them, the new package makes them look cheap, like they were bought off a rack,

has anyone had their £20 silver coin milk spot?

[Danny-boy]

Not as yet.

[HawkHybrid]

I'm under the impression that the £20 coins are less

likely to milk spot than the new queens beast silver?

Why, are they a different alloy to .999?

it just feels like not many forum members have complained about

milk spots on their £20 coins?

Maybe the blanks are sourced from elsewhere.

Probably because most people have bailed out.

[jayboat]

I can see they have released another 1 of these, im starting to get bored of them. The packaging on the last coin makes them awkward to store in my monster boxes but i have bought them from the beginning and would like a date run of something. 

What i wanted to ask was, it says this is the 3rd coins released this year in the series. I did a little research on google and it turns out some were released to members to something. I can buy them on ebay but i collect 3 of each and i dont want pay the huge premium. 

Anyone no anything about it? 

[richo]

Am convinced this release will eventually wither on the vine. The admission the mint themselves don't recognise the face value makes them beyond pointless for me. and of course misleading...

Not since the 1980s has a Royal Mint coin gained in value,

 

Maybe the Queen's longest reigning monarch 20 quid one will do OK. Not sure about the rest though I am sure others here have more knowledge on such things....

Hmmm

£100 Big Ben?

50p Peter rabbit?

[Oldun]

The article is dated 2013 fyi as it discusses the very first 20 pound for 20 pound coin and its chances by comparing it to previous RM coins. The 2 examples you give are certainly true in that they have gained in value. It just shows what is going on in the market right now. Maybe that is why the RM is pumping out so many of these things at the moment.

 

Big Ben 100 quid is just about holding
