Does it Look better in gold or just more angry?

Think it’ll be a few silver bullion and a gold 1/4 for me. 

Hopefully they’ll be better looking in the flesh

I think it looks better in gold but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that in nature Lions are essentially gold in color. Kinda like how a silver Koala just looks natural as can be but it wouldn't look so in gold.

I can’t understand why RM don’t release these in bullion in order.

Is there a reason why?

Surely they would create more demand by releasing the proof versions then the bullion of for example, The Seymour Panther in proof followed by the bullion. Then The Lion of England proof releases followed by the bullion.

They did the same with the Queens Beast. The Griffin Proof and bullion were released 4 years apart!

Liked it enough to order the 1/4 gold with our Belgian friends during yesterday's dip: https://goldsilver.be/nl/goud/9014-uk-14-oz-gold-tudor-beasts-the-lion-of-england-2022-bu-25.html

Probably will still take a while before it will actually become available, but I'm not in a rush. Gives me the time to place another order or two in due course, long live GSBE's storage possibility. 

And otherwise it also seems to be available with our Polish friends (and apparently ready to ship in 33 days): https://www.metalmarket.eu/en/products/the-royal-tudor-beasts-lion-of-england-1-4-oz-gold-2022-5927.html?rec=302854109

*edit* Woops, just saw I posted this in the thread in the Silver sub forum rather than in the thread in the General Precious Metals sub forum. Sorry...

I am still undecided about whether to buy into this series.  I don't think that Tudor Beasts Lion of England is anywhere near as nice as the Queen's Beasts Lion of England design, and I wasn't keen on the Seymour Panther design either.

If I do commit, I would then aim to buy all ten in 1/4 oz gold and all 10 in 1 oz gold, so it will be a very expensive commitment over the next four year, and one that I will probably look to hedge at or near today's gold spot price.  Still very much on the fence but currently more likely to pass than to commit.

I reserve the right to change my mind 😉

I just went with the 1oz proof set, so I thought the next release would be the next proof coin! Does anyone know if this is the case or the bullion completely separate This time ?

Next week is the new proof coming out … the lion, the first bullion will also be the lion. I believe it wasn’t until the second queens beast came out that they started with the bullion ones.

The bullion range launched at the same time as the proofs, which surprised me.

FYI, was looking to order 4 X 2oz Ag bullion. RM wanted £260ish delivered. Chards charged me £240ish delivered although not in stock yet and we are looking at March. Worth 20quid wait to me🤷🤷. Just a heads up

Yeah the royal mint like to whack on a nice cut up to other dealers... 

I’m always happy to wait if it brings my £ per oz average down.

I took the plunge this afternoon and ordered a 1 oz Lion from Sharps Pixley and a 2 oz silver from Atkinsons after shopping around the usual suspects.
That's me committed now - 10 oz silver and platinum to follow, but we might all be under a metre of dust if WW III kicks-off so what the heck !!
