[GoldDiggerDave]

The work around works a charm, only worked using safari browsers will not work on firefox as it opens a different person of the website!!!!!!!

Got to love the RM crappy website !!!!

Gonna let this release pass good luck to all who buy today but I'm not backing this RM horse personally 

😕 I'd have had a piedfort off you...

You know where to send it mate!!!!!!!!

Typically, I have enough for a Piedfort... but not in the current account, and can't get it there quickly enough... bugger... 🙁

The glitch always works and gets you past the holding screen!!!!!!!!!

I may live to regret it but will give these a miss today. Nice feeling to be totally debt  free again. If either of these may be double your money coins I would have but don't think either will be, just a small growth potential

I'd need to sell some shares, and that's 2 days for the funds to clear... 🤷‍♂️

Guess I'll be at the mercy of the Flippers

Paul, no way am I dreaming of high returns, my strategy is move it quick make a bit so it subsides the ones I keep.  I was no gong to get the £5 BU until i saw the mintage.....The only stress now is making sure the large matte coin has zero issue as me and matte sovereigns don't normally get on.

The mintages are very high.  The max mintage of the piedfort is 3360 and for the £5 piece it is 810.  Last year the RM struggled to sell 350 £5s.

[Scootermuppet]

So, has anyone bought an extra Piedfort Sov to sell on, and if so, how much are you fleecing us asking for...? 🤔

Doesn't look like they'll struggle to sell out of the £5 piece this year (or this day!)

Mate I have just went back and bought a second for you. Retail price as long as both go through!

I think they've managed to improve the queueing and buying process.

On the last two occasions I've queued, I've got in pretty much straight away and the checkout has been much smoother than previously.

Wow, that's just.... I'm lost for words TBH... 🥲. What can I say, thank you so much!

Anyone else happy to be able to have time to think about the purchase today? I was late and only got in on the site at 9.22 and I am pleasurely surprised they are still available. Now though I am eemming and arrrring about making the purchase, 🤣.

I'm giving today's releases a miss personally

For those who can afford the £5, I think it could be a good investment?

It is the first, and only (so far), special reverse + matte £5.
