The Queen's Reign Honours and Investitures 2022.

[SilverPlatinum]

I just ordered The Queen's Reign Honours and Investitures 2022 UK £5 Silver Proof Piedfort Coin.

I like the signature on the coin and the edge writing. The mintage is not bad at 1510.

It will be for my own collection (no plans to sell it).

I just went for the 1oz, to keep and no more, none to flip, cant be arsed flipping these when you dont know how they are selling or when you're gonna get them

[JeffM]

I also ordered the piedfort.  I like the coin and will order the next two in the series.

Much preferred the London city coin

Anyone else think this coin would be a stunner if it only had the signature on the reverse, and none of the other gubbins? I would have bought that. As it is I look at this coin and think it'll be yet another crown on the secondary market for 25 quid in a few years. But you never know...

I do like the signature whether on the obverse or reverse.  There was no real marketing for this coin - just sort of popped up.  The RM is pushing out way too many coins.  I won't collect the other City Views (beyond London) because I just don't have an interest.  Plus, it could get cumbersome and expensive if they pump out many city views.  The Queens Honours don't bother me as much because there will only be three.  I am collecting the Royal Monarchs because that series is exciting and the coins are quite striking.

Here is an article that just appeared in Numismatic News on the use of the Queen's signature on the coin.

The coloured silver proof Blackpool coin was alright, even though it's not a city.

FOMO I'd guess. The RM could sell circulated 10p coins with a '70' sticker on them, chuck 7 of them in a blister pack with the words 'Seven 10p coins to mark 70 glorious years etc etc ' and sell them at £92.50 no problem. 😀 You saw it here first!

OK, I want it badly....NOW!!  Where can I order that 7 coin set?  I want and need EVERYTHING related to the Platinum Jubilee!  If the Queen deposits a used tissue in the trash, how can I get that??

I can do you a one off, totally unique, guaranteed version of that set for just £49.95 delivered if you like.

The Diamond Jubilee was a bit before my time in this hobby/passtime/obsession, call it what you will, but was there all this craziness around around then as well? Cos all the stuff from then didn't do great. The silver crowns etc are £25 if you really want one. The sovereigns are a different matter I suppose (I admit I did buy a proof this year, which I really like, but it won't make me rich) and will always hold a value.

I get that a platinum Jubilee is actually unique, but I just can't believe the madness of it. And it won't be long until Charles becomes king (under what name who knows) and the circus starts again.

Jeez.

Worth every penny, no matter what!  😃

[JeffM]

Piedfort is same diameter as the regular coin but twice the weight.  Love those thicker coins!

[Macaucheers]

@JeffM thanks, bought it last night, can't resist the jody clark's queen portrait on the coin. cannot imagine collecting Charles portrait coins later. 

[JeffM]
