Still not struck. Will wait it out for the Dragon coins. The Seymour Panther may end up being the best coin in the set at this rate🤗😜

These are out tomorrow then… (1st September) Anyone going to be queuing? 🤔 and if so, what are you going for…?

I'll get some bullion gold for sure. Probably rather wait for other dealers to get them online that try and work the RM website. Maybe that's just me though

[Scootermuppet]

I’ll probably get the Silver 2 coin with reverse proof set, as I like the reverse proof coins, and the mintage is just a 1000 (well, it was for the Panther and the Lion anyway) bit easier on the wallet than the gold too! 😏

[JamesH]

Keep thinking about getting involved with this. If I do I’ll grab the Gold 1/4 bullion and would therefore grab the Gold 1/4 Lion at the same time

[P3T3R]

I’m going to be getting a 10oz silver and a .25oz gold to go with my lion in the same sizes, will probably also wait until dealers have in hand.

So, anyone get anything...? 🤔

[westminstrel]

Whatever happened to the continuity sets with the free box? I don’t see that anywhere (unless I am missing something).

[Scootermuppet]

Guess they sold them all after the Lion came out...? 🤔

[westminstrel]

Well initially they had said the free 10-coin box would be sent with the second coin in the series; then they said the third; and now there’s no mention of it at all.

Yeah it’s possible I guess - that makes sense. 

[Shinus73]

The mintage on the reverse proof sets has halved to 500, was 1000 for the panther, not sure about the Lion. Seems like the logical choice to me.

Yep, 1000 for both the Lion and the Panther - wasn't going to miss this one at a 500 mintage 😁 - looks like it'll only let you buy one as well - I can't even get back to the page now I have bought mine... 🤔

Ooh, and I got Free delivery too! Bonus 😏

Ah, was thinking of getting a second, but I guess not.

I can get to the page in another browser - but I'm guessing it's account linked, so would probably stop you once you logged in if you already purchased one...?  "Anti-Flipper" technology perhaps? 🤭 😅

... and around 200 left now by all accounts!

Didn’t realize this was a 2023 coin.

I got the reverse proof as that’s what I’ve been collecting.

I didn't spot that until I was reading through my order confirmation! 😂  makes sense I guess... and yes, I'd decided to go with the reverse proof sets too, even before they reduced the mintage

[westminstrel]

@Scootermuppet and @Shinus73- that makes three of us. 😀

[Scootermuppet]

😁 👍

Still pontificating over 1/4 gold or 1oz platinum. Am sure I’ll still be mulling it over in 24hrs time. Either way will mean having to pick up the lion in the same format 🤔

[westminstrel]

Had anyone here signed up for the continuity set with the box?

How well do these designs translate on smaller coins?

I’ve only seen the 1 Oz silver which is quite large.

Very limited experience but have a couple of 1/4 from the QB range and whilst I don’t have a full oz to compare against, the design looks good to me on the 1/4
