NEW St. George and the Dragon coin with Garter inscription

[Agaupl]

Unless you bank with nationwide and you can do all the checks and then they still block your card when you try to pay.. not always.. just sometimes. It’s part of the fun 😭😭.

I have really given up on nationwide, blocks me every time no matter what so I buy it with my special foreign currency card from HSBC. No matter what happens with my regular account as that blocks sometimes it always goes through on the foreign currency card (global money account).

How many George and Dragons do we need?

There are millions and millions of them on millions and millions of coins

This release is going to crash and burn.

Strictly for the collector, this will not be an investment opportunity. IMHO

 

Don’t think it will crash and burn but I don’t believe this will be a huge flipping opportunity either. Definitely a coin for the collectors with the potential of a small rise on RRP if the mintage is low.

My logic for this is pretty simple, Una at PF70 was going for £5k+ for the 2oz silver but that didn’t out value the original coins (obviously wasn’t even close). You can get an 1818 - 1820 crown in high grade from £1k and certainly a top example for £5k. I can’t see anybody paying silly amounts of money for a 2024 coin when you can buy an original example.

I am excited for this coin, will be interesting to see what RM have done with the design but if you buy as a collector then regardless of the secondary market you’ll be happy. How many of us received the Gothic Crown Reverse and thought this is a true work of art and RM had done an amazing job only for the secondary market to not really appreciate this design for numerous reasons.

You will queue and buy as you are told to do. Do not pass go and do spend £200+ as required. There will be no parousing.

The 2oz silver proof coin will be the current day equivalent of Pistrucci’s iconic 1818 design for the George iii crown.  Whilst the George slaying the dragon  reverse is ‘commonplace’ for gold sovereigns, it definitely isn’t for silver coins, so I think that’s the most interesting one in the collection.

I agree totally

I feel like buying something but I've never even liked Pistrucci's George & The Dragon - much prefer shield designs so I'm definitely out on this one.
