Edward VII will be an interesting one later on in the year. 

I’m looking forward to seeing this more than any so far.

Especially given that so many of us here have Edward VII coins in our collection's.

Reporting for changing profile picture 😀

Catching dinner with the son and cooking with the daughter is one of the nicest things here. I enjoy the last days with my little boy before his older cousins mess him up. Since they use him as a translator here, I have to explain the benefits of contraception to him.

George I's wig looks just like mine.  I wear mine all the time.  It is heavily permed, and I sprinkle scented powder in it a few times a day.  I love to leave a cloud of scented fairy dust wherever I go.  I also sprinkle the powder in my tights to maintain freshness.  Although a vanishing breed, George and I are two of a kind.

[SidS]

Although I bet you look more striking that George I, he looks like Richard Nixon in a wig.

I was at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh today and I saw a familiar image on display 🙂

That looks suspiciously fake to me.

Is it a Christmas chocolate coin..😆

[Alz111]

Just received my coin pretty happy with it looks quite good 👍 

[JTerry3]

Definitely looks better than the one in the promotional photo posted on pg 52. Maybe it was just the angle of the coin in that first image that made it look to have not the sharpest strike.

All I'm hearing when I see it, are those immortal words...

I think Tricky Dicky may indeed be the reincarnation of George I.  I read that Nixon had a permed and powdered wig and enjoyed prancing around the White House in very tight tights.  His wife Pat loved to feed him grapes as he sat on the White House throne.

This is really a great series.  Coins look beautiful (as long as there are no QC issues)!

As an American, my deepest sympathies to you Brits on the death of Queen Elizabeth.  What a long and magnificent life.  Virtually the only monarch most of us have lived under.

They even restocked Henry VII 5 OZ silver proofs. Nice coin, nice size, only 275 and the first of 21 coins. That surprises me.

Am i the only one still waiting for the Edward VII silver coins from the mint? Would it be too optimistic to think to get them, before ordering Henry VIII?

I have a 2 oz Henry that might be available. Do you have any 1 oz coins in this series to trade?

As a matter of fact I do. I’ll PM you. 🙂

Hope you and JTerry3 have what each other wants!

If not, and you're desperate to get your hands on a 2oz Henry VII - then Crawley Coins has one but, at £300, it's perhaps not at a "decent price". 

[Sharron]

Does anyone know when the Henry VIII is going to be released? Thanks.
