Yes, that's the whole point of this coin  

Grading it will be pointless, except maybe in 2oz gold where the edge are still visible

No gold for me this time, and the same feeling as others about the risk taken,

moreover at a 50% price steeper than the Una...no way  

Got it in 2 oz and 5oz silver. However I am not sure if I'll keep the 5oz silver set or not later...Better to cancel than regret

Or might be the graders make transparent cases for these

Sales pace seems slow

It could be spot on for the 5oz, but not for the 2oz silver (thick holder and no space for a visible edge). Even if it is possible, I am not sure that NGC will change their holders  for this release

Does anyone know why their website needs to be down before a new release of a limited mintage coin (as many other are) Is this just to create hype?
They could easily add queue once you are inside the site and just want to visit the Great Engravers page, rather than the whole site being down until 9am.

I thought there were now rivets in the capsules because some of the mint staff found it too difficult to work out which way to turn to close the capsules.

Would have been nice to screw  the rivet in the middle of the coin in order to see the beautiful edge 😀

It is. I was all set for this one, I have missed all the other engravers so far, and quite liked the look of this one.

But its way to expensive. The golds are out of my reach, and a £560 entry point for the silver is comical - £140 an ounce is sheer greed and likely most of them will have problems.

Not having the option to buy the coins individually like the gothic crown is a mistake I think.

It's a nice coin, but not for me at the price.

So my £560 will stay with me for now and go towards the Coronation sovereign.

Disappointed. Again.

Yeah, the entry point is high. Surely that will impact on resellers/flippers?

What were the others going for on the resellers market ?

My personal opinion is that the 10 Oz  silver is the best option here.

The mintage is among the least at 156, even less than the 2 Oz gold, and the price isn’t too bad for someone who would have been able to afford the single 2 Oz gold coin if this were a single coin release.

Anyone noticed that the Three Graces Silver proof 2kg is available for £4890.00??

Yea just seen these have been released are they actually having a giraffe with the prices 

[Agaupl]

There may be an obvious answer than I’m not aware of … but why are these two coin sets only? I like the coin but I don’t need 2x 2oz. Im not going to be displaying it.

The answer is indeed obvious - because The Royal Mint decided so  The reason is undisclosed, maybe it's just easier for them, anyway all coins will be sold out in couple of days.

Ah.. the obverse..doh!!

[JTerry3]

I for one am glad about it being two-coin sets...makes up my mind for me not to buy them. 😃 (well at this point in time anyway)

I really like the 2-coin sets of the same coin, proof and reverse.  Especially for display.

However, in this case, having such a high minimum cost of entry seems pretty rough.  £140 per ounce is one thing, but having to buy 4 ounces minimum makes it difficult to swallow.

Being a fan of big coins, I agree.  I'd love to own them.  But that's a high price.

I think I'll wait it out and see what the market does.  Probably never see the 10ozs again because of the rarity.

This set must be actually absolutely fantastic in hand. I want to sit this release out, but the longer this set is available, the closer I get to weeks of boiled potatoes with nothing and sleeping on the couch.

Buy it. Receive it. Don't love it. Return it.

I’m sure it will look fantastic the way they’ve chosen to present the set, but indeed the price tag coupled with the chances of imperfect coins is imo too much to deal with.

Yeah there seems to be a decent market somewhere for these chunkier versions; they always seem to mostly disappear.

Sadly my house has different rules. Almost same, but different.

Buy it. Receive it. Don't love it. Return it. Still no more love and sleeping on the couch.

686 at the moment 🤪

 The thing that keeps tempting me is the unique presentation, the unusual capsule to show off the edge text. 

 It may not seem much but how much true innovation do we see in modern coins? At least it stands out

How many 10 OZ sets? Harmony in marriage is completely overrated anyway

Go for it my friend. You can always change your mind later.
