Well I wasn't expecting that, but here it is!

Just saw this on the RM website. Also, the 1oz & 1/10oz 2022 Platinum Britannia’s are available to order. 

[Pete]

Many thanks @paulmerton for notifying us fellow stackers of the new Completer in Platinum.
Just ordered mine.

The RM website is not very rigorous as this coin didn't appear at all searching for platinum nor on the section for platinum coins.
It does now, but earlier today it didn't exist yet your link showed it instantly.

Bit of a panic set in though when the RM blocked my account pending an annual review apparently.
Always worth checking that if you have an account that you need to use urgently that it is still active.
Whilst the checks were being made ( no idea of timeframe ) they wouldn't even permit me to place an order over the phone.

I thought it was interesting that the platinum 1oz and 1/10oz Britannias in blister packs are headlined on the Jubilee landing page carousel (https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-queens-platinum-jubilee/), as they  don't really have anything to do with the jubilee other than being made of platinum. Arguably the QB coin has more right to be there! I've seen a few products in carousels that I haven't seen on other pages, but usually after they've already gone out of stock

Oooh.  That is very tempting.  My resistance might crumble over the next few days!

The price of platinum is also near the lowest it's been over the past year... Still have to add on that VAT though

[Stuntman]

So it's currently £960-ish to order one of these.

Still, cheaper than gold...

(and thanks for the link!)

Also noticed that the 10 oz silver bullion QB completer coin is also on the site as Pre-Sell.
Well that's it then - my wallet is about to take a(nother) beating! 😁

The description states that the blister packaging is specially Jubilee-themed for this year only. A bit of a stretch but that might be the reason it’s on the Jubilee range carousel.

Good point, I didn't notice that! Looks like the whole thing comes in a sleeve with the jubilee stuff on it.

As beautiful as this looks, where is the 1kg platinum completer :-)

[SilverPlatinum]

Planning to order one. Waiting for my salary to come.......

Ordered them both on Monday morning 😉

All being well, I will collect them tomorrow evening from my local sorting office.  
Despite already having this design in 1 oz gold and 1 kg silver, I am properly excited about the 10 oz silver and 1 oz platinum versions.  Perhaps the sweet spots of the range, for me.

Platinum arrived this morning with the 10 oz silver completer just released.

 

 

 

[paulmerton]

I'm glad everyone got their orders in before the price of platinum went up!

[Stuntman]

Totally agree!  My coins arrived yesterday as well - same as Pete's.  I'm pleased with them, the platinum coin appears to be flawless and the 10 oz silver coin has a couple of trivial marks that don't really detract.

[Stuntman]

Not the best picture in the world... but the thread needs another picture!
