don't have the link but took a screen shot at the time as I can't find jack S on the RM website 

I can't find Jack S on the RM website, either.  I called the RM and asked where in the hell Jack S is, and they said they thought he was out doing errands for Anne Jessopp, or maybe he was down in QC checking over the coins.  So, apparently the RM doesn't know Jack S, either!

Ok, I'm back out of my box

So James I next month.

I assume its going to be higher mintages ...

Would make them available outside the UK, should not be bad. But i would like a couple more releases with Henry's small mintages of 1 & 2 OZ silver.

I would really like them maintain the mintages. I don't think they will though, a small increase will be acceptable 😀

[SilverJacks]

Really looking forward to the next one. I don't know what type of design/finish to expect.

@westminstrel Have you done any research for the era of the next coin? I lazily ask you because you were right last time. That's my excuse

Great question!

If they do up the mintages, It will make the Henry VII more appealing in the long run.

If they do keep them low, even though it'll be sad to miss out, this is what we signed up for. Sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you'll miss.

I agree.

However, I would rather they kept the mintages low, and take my "chances" 😉

I think, or better i hope, the finish will be almost similar to Henry. 

@westminstrel Has this coin any chance to be the choosen one?

I think RM are waiting for suggestions on this thread. I’m guessing though it will be portraits not animals and “arms”. 🤷‍♂️

I think you are right. Except @westminstrel says something else.🤣

Maybe this one? I'm already in the queue...

I’ve been up to my neck with work… but I will be back with some fun research findings soon (if anyone else doesn’t get to it before I do). 🙂

Yeah they are!

I was a bit unsure about this series initially.

I think the low mintage has got it off to a good start.

Henry VII still hasn't grown enough on me yet, but there is definitely something about it.

It also looks to be doing well on the secondary market too.

I am definitely in on the 1oz and 2oz silvers in this series, which together cost a little more than a 2oz silver great engravers.

Hopefully they keep the mintages low

I just hope they don’t do anything like they did with the Alfred the Great coins when they gave him lobster claws as hands. 😂

 

When I saw this I thought it reminds me of something... Then it struck me, Mr Burns from the Simpsons when he was mistaken for an alien.

Did everyone send these for grading then? I really wanted a 1oz silver but never really seen many get flipped?

I think ones about to end on fleabay soon 

[FlorinCollector]

@MancunianStacker Looking at prices I will try wait for some 70's to come back to hopefully lower market price. Bit of FOMO for me with these ones. Really like the design now.
