 Is the 2 oz gold a buy?....

£5455 AND MINTAGE 650

RM extortionate pricing for these coins IMO. I’ve broken the 10k queue barrier while making breakfast.
 

I shall deliberate on a silver proof if I’m bothered to continue waiting. Excitement level has dropped for me. 

 

Hmmm. 

[BiigT]

plenty of the limited mintages available in the 'ounce' section. Not for me... I don't think those coins are attractive at all tbh

[paulmerton]

The 7-coin gold set includes a Five Sovereign if anyone missed out on that

They can't really win in the court of coin collecting opinion on this one.

Nobody likes big mintages, but if there was ever an occasion for an unlimited range, then surely this is it.

Lots of people want them, as 50,000 in the queue testifies to. 

It would seem unfair to end up with only the lucky first few onto the website getting anything. 

Yes, I get that - but virtually NO limited coins...? Apart from way overpriced 5oz and 10oz Silver coins? Lunacy...

I closed the browser in disgust once I realised they were Milking us all for "unlimited" mintages... I'm done with RM - unless they do something sensible with the 2023 sovereign (which I seriously doubt now) then they've had the last money from me that they're going to have...

 Yeah....can't decide, it certainly won't be a keeper

[Paul]

5oz gold £13995 mintage 250

[Mtaybar]

Only took 20mins to get in..... Only took 5mins to leave with nothing 🤣

 

 

 

 

[GoldDiggerDave]

I've just worked it out the coins will be worth more with the highest COA .......

I could have bought one but have chose not to

[Timberwolf]

Horrible portrait of the Queen on all the coins IMO, so big pass for me.

Will pickup a gold 50P for my collection though, closer to Christmas.

[MrStacker]

Those gold coin sets don’t make no sense to me. Disappointed to be honest. 

 

 

 

Ideal for the expert flippers! Good luck!

5 oz silver all gone. I have the 2oz gold in basket….ummmmm

[Essendie]

Honestly, I can't be bothered with any of those.

If it's unlimited until Dec I've got better things to spend my money on right now so who cares today?

But when it comes down to it, they are just flat out ugly looking coins & I don't want a super large version of those pictures when the world if full of much prettier looking coins for less money.

In theory maybe one day I'll sell my little collection, but in practice I only buy the ones that are beautiful to me for now.

Ps I'm still around 8,279 in the queue on Edge, while I've been into the site & gone again on Chrome.

 Bugger it, had the 2oz in basket but it would only be to flip and I'm not convinced it's worth the chance, maybe if it was an actual coin rather than a medal...

Any idea on the mintage for the gold or is that unlimited?

 

I got through online just as I posted here and it appears I was misinformed, sorry. It's not as limited as I was lead to believe. Hard pass.

[ArgentSmith]

Wonder what QC will be like🤔

Agree. The only nice design is the 50p. The rest are unpretty.

Well a cheap day for me £0.00 spent, greedy money grabbing feckers, it's like they've got a license to print money

Having to shove unlimited quantities out the door ....... I think poor personally!

[paulmerton]

No edition limit on the £5 platinum piedfort makes the £5770 asking price feels a bit insane!

It would be truly interesting to see how many they actually set when there is no limit.

I'll be spending more on my spoons breakfast then the RM today......Even the piedfort gold 50p is unlimited at 2.4k 🤣🤣🤣

If the 10k set had a proof £5 sov in there I would have bought one. 

[Zeuk]

Nothing really made sense to buy for me

We call them "money grabbing feckers" but what about when we come to sell them? £100-£200 on top and we call it a cheap once in a lifetime opportunity 🤣
