I was all set to give new things a miss, but the FOMO is strong in this one!

Horses for courses but I have a healthy dislike of premium new issues that everyone scrambled for when there is such a wealth of older historic coins.

I'm not sure about this series, but i'll go for the first, somehow it will fit to the Tudor Beasts series, which i will collect to the end. I have no relation to british monarchy, but i'm curious about the designs. I don't think, that this series will be something for a flip, not even in long term. Which market, except in the UK, will go for 3, or 4 releases per year with british monarchs? I don't see lots of US, european, or chinese collectors going for it. And this funny Alfred coin last year wasn't that great succes, so maybe not even you in the UK are really nervous, with hardcore FOMO, if it comes to your own early monarchs. I don't really like collecting series ala "predators of the northern hemisphere", "chinese mystery autumn dragons", "wombat vs. Godzilla", etc., so i hope this will be a nice one. If not, i'm out after the first issue without stressing myself. But if them look great, they have to be in my collection.

Its funny you should mention the Alfred coin. I didn't buy it. I didn't like it. But, I have been thinking about it the last few days and something is pulling me.

I might have to try and buy it!

In this Rucksack you can live with your coin collection. And sell streetfood out of it. There is always a solution, if there is a will. Roofs, warm water and electricity are totally overrated. 

Is that an under cover police body guard carrying Harry and Megan around London ? 😂😂

I didn't liked it too, but it has something, yes. And sometimes such coins are surprisingly good in hand.

No, the new prototype of a undercover party tent  for downing street

The Alfred the Great design wasn’t for me either, but I believe the £5 gold with a low mintage of 160 sells well in auctions.

That's the only one no more available at the mint. Both silver coins still available. That means, less than 900 collectors worldwide wanted a 2 OZ Alfred in their collection. And now comes a king, famous for chopping his wife's heads off. If i still would be with my ex wife he would be my role model. Now i've got a good one on my side, so the coin should look great so i can enjoy it.

They should make outstanding orders their priority, there are a lot of people waiting !

 

Yes, they do seem to have a considerable backlog, and unlike one well-established dealer I know, they don't seem to have thought about giving waiting customers any kind of update or progress report.

I have just chased an order for 5 items I bought on or before the 7th December last year, I expected most of them to arrive within a few days to a week.

I chased them up a little later, and was informed they would be delivered before Christmas. Unfortunately I forgot to ask which Christmas.

I have enquired about them a few times since, the latest being today, when I also asked could I cancel the 2 Kilo Gold Proof version, which I paid for almost immediately along with the rest of the order.

If anyone missed out on the 2 Kilo Gold Proof, there might now be one available, so phone your account manager without delay.

Hide them in a cardboard box...

Works everytime 😁

Good idea but too much of a temperature and humidity swing for me to chance proofs
