Me too.

Just I have sent them an email to ask if they have available some coins rejected by QC controll at a discounted price.

They answered instantly:

 "We have not any rejected coins. All our coins passed all the quality control tests."

 Typical, huh?😁 

Just joking...

Gonna go for the silver - not silly daft money and could do OK for a punt/gamble long term

I’d buy it. Just for a nice presentation rather than a sell on. But with the Jennings signature it’s got a reasonable chance imvho 

[Agaupl]

anyone talking orders for the silver? 

[Chrisplym]

Does anyone know the mintage of the silver?

LEP is 500 it says on email and gold is 75

The uncrowned was very high.. maybe even unlimited if I recall. The crowned was 100k? Ish 

[Paul]

£6750 / 2 = £3375 oz per slab 

• Original mintage of the "Coronation" Gold  = 500 
• Original mintage of the "Memorial" Gold = TBC - i couldn't find the max mintage 

 

"Memorials" are available at several sites now still at list original RRP 

I actually like the Coronation design but it has also added into the mix the grading sales they did with the "coronation' reverse proofs stateside in USA 

 

So essentially the gold set isn't that unique to be honest, just what is out there already released by with the NGC slab with Jennings signature  

If they could have differentiated with a plain edge or similar 

I think I'll just let this release pass or someone convince me otherwise - I'm all ears (. . . . . pardon the pun Charles 😊)
