Thanks for sharing. These are very nice!

I have ordered the two coin set in silver and gold. I was going to grade these, but think they will do better as raw in their box - especially as both are available as singles already. A real winner for me and I am looking forward to receiving them (still waiting - being told next week at the latest!)

Beautiful coin

[Timberwolf]

Very nice. 

I'm still wating for my 2 coin gold proof 50P set, as well as 2oz gold Platinum Jubilee coin, this has made me just a little more excited

[MancunianStacker]

They made a Piedfort

I ordered the quarter ounce gold too. 

I also bought a platinum proof 50p. Not sure whether I should have though! Perhaps I should’ve just stuck to gold.

Absolutely beautiful coin mucker.... I have the 1oz silver version of these. Already sold them though. You have a platinum 50p..... As in one of the platinum metal version? 

[tom10101990]

Yes I managed to get one.

You're one of the lucky few then. I don't think you can lose with the actual platinum 50p. Definitely a keeper imo. 

[Fivepoundfred]

One of the best 50p coins released by the mint in recent times, must be a winner.

[Timberwolf]

Has anyone received their two coin 50P gold proof set yet?

Not yet . I am still waiting for it

[SovereignBishop]

I ordered the piedfort 50p then cancelled it. Seen too many proof silver coins with milk marks from recent years and went with a proof sovereign instead.

still nice coins though!

[AndrewSL76]

Confirmation of postage. I expect the delivery via DHL tomorrow. Will share pics once received.

[Allgoldcoins]

I was surprised how quickly the few 50ps we had sold out, in comparison we still have a couple of the £5 crowns left. 50ps have not really been that popular for recent issues so I was expecting it to be the other way around.

Can I ask what price you were selling the sets for? I am going to keep mine as a set and not grade and wondered whether the RRP was a bit high to begin with. Long term investment so not a real issue. Curious!! Thanks!

Is it just my brain acting up tonight or did the mint actually increased the mintage on the 50p 2 gold set?? I rembered that it was 50...

I never even saw the 2coin set on release day so I don't know but a mintage of 70 makes sense as a nod to the 70th year of her maj being on the thrown.

The singles are different from those ones in the sets I believe. The set will have the new designs with the normal Queen's portrait on the back. Will see when mine turn up this morning

Possibly.

For instance, I know for sure (as I posted screenshots) that the platinum 50p said it had a limited edition of 70 as soon as it was launched. This then changed to 50 at some point during the morning, but then later went back up to 70.

Yes, this is what I was told. The ‘70’ designed reverse with the Jody Clark fifth portrait and the John Bergdahl commemorative horse back portrait.

The Jody Clark was only in the annual sets (100 mintage) and the Bergdahl was released as a single coin (400 mintage). This increases that mintage and was set out as being 70 from the get go as far as I am aware.

Cheers.

400, not 40!!!!!!
