Thanks for the update, but after the last coin The Who I'm out.

I thought the music legends series was over, I guess there's still a chance they might do one for the Beatles then.

It'll be interesting to see if Brian Jones is on it (I'd be surprised if Jagger would allow it).

Absolutely there will be imvho! Pink Floyd too. They need to reinvigorate a waning series, and surely The Beatles have been the 'main attraction' everyone expected for the start!

The Queen hated Mick Jagger, she definitely would not approve of this.

I believe Charles had to knight him as the Queen refused.

No idea why that would be...

[Shep]

I admire your tenacity 👍 True collectors are few and far between 😌 

[Simmoleon]

This release is just the Royal Mint trying to ruin the short term flippers Christmas. No chance anybody is buying this for a quick flip, these are just for collectors who like the design. 

[paulmerton]

With regards to the design, would anyone know it was The Rollings Stones if it didn't have The Rolling Stones written on the coin?

To be fair if you look at the state of Mick Jagger, would anyone buy it if he was identifiable on the coin?

But is it better than this?

[NumismaticNI]

Definitely worth buying, it's about the coin and the band, I'll be going for a 2oz Gold 

[goldmember44]

I'll pass.

[marston59]

This release is for the collectors of the previous coins and band fans,

The last issue The Who was a flop.

I see all coins still available at 14.22

[NumismaticNI]

The Who was a flop for flippers, certainly was. Whereas myself strictly a collector, as I Iife goes on, the who, and the rolling stones who are near dead anyway, the value of these coins will significantly increase. As a collector I'm delighted to be getting the Rolling Stones today, in 2oz Gold. Soon as Mick passes the market will be going Mad for Rolling Stones memoribilla, it's probably a 15k coin once sells out at the mint, I'll be holding on to mine nevertheless 

[MancunianStacker]

Awful design on this Rolling Stones coin. Remove the name and it could be any band, awful design imho.

The Who coin looked class in the 2oz Gold.

This design is better. I could have done better after 5 minutes on MS Paint 😂

Maybe this contributed to it being a flop?
