I'm surprised the RM doesn't use eBay!

Sorry to be a poo poo

Isn't £635 quite a lot to pay for a poor condition 1819 and 1821

I have two of them that I bought for around £35 each...

Just saying you might want to re-think that purchase

Unless I am missing something?

Maybe I have 10x my coin values or the Royal Mint is scalping you

Isn't that just typical RM though?

Same with the 3 coin gold set. 1820 and 21 sovereigns and the new 2Oz coin for £19.5k 🤷‍♀️

Is it just me but the lettering on the rim just looks oversized and odd ? 🤔 If they had @Charliemouse as head of photography it would be better than these CGI Photoshop junk on the web site

I don't rate the 10oz silver. Sure, the mintage will be much lower, but it uses the same upper and lower dies as the 5oz, so you're essentially paying a huge premium for the extra 5oz of silver sandwiched in the middle. And the edge lettering looks goofy with such a wide border.

I just hope they don't cancel the 5oz silver like they did with the petition crown!

Ah I see. Interesting.. yes 90 vs 450 mintage. 
they bette not cancel the 5oz! I suspect they will have worked on the minting tech/dumbed down the edge design to make sure they don’t lose the revenue… I mean customer goodwill 🤭

I was so blinkered on the 5oz I didn’t even see it first pass.

NGL £284 for 2oz of Silver is a hefty price tag!

Wont even be opening the packaging box to look at it! This stays sealed and I either pick one up on secondary in a few years if price tanks for myself or just pass this one down to one of the kids with a never open clause! 

Im sure at some point in the bloodline it will be passed on to someone to young and grubb, sticky hands will be all over it and then subsequently sold to a bullion dealer for £50 🤣

Anyone know how many of the 2oz silver are still in stock please

Typical they take advantage of people that don't know better. 

I am currently doing a big investigation into their historic coin pricing, its shocking what they are up to in my opinion. 

More on this to come. 

I would highly recommend anyone that bought the 3 coin silver set to cancel/return as it is a TOTAL rip off.

Test it and it will go to 9999 silver. 

I had it on an xrf machine and it went 999 silver as it said on the coin tried with others and it said 9999 on the maples. Gold britannias state 9999 gold on the coin and came up 9999 gold on xrf machine. 

Like wise with acid tests I was having issues with sovereigns and the 22k acid was making it fade yet I had bought the sovereigns being tested direct from the mint.

I think as far as the silver options go, the 5oz is the star of the show.

There's a reason why that's the one they're showing in the all the promo pics...

Oh, you definitely want to open it and check it's not awful quality!

They called me to offer the gold 3 coin set and had to laugh. 2 average grade sovereigns and the £5k 2 Oz for £19.5k..... 

They do this all the time and good that you're investigating as needs to be called out and people educated

Good to read this and hope something comes of it. I've expressed my own thoughts on this subject in other threads so won't dwell too much on it but I do very much see what they're doing as just taking advantage of those who don't know better and do feel it is wrong.

As for this coin I'm very glad we've reached a point where I could completely lose track of these releases, not get up early, not queue yet still get the 2oz silver to keep my Great Engravers set going. No stress.

Oooof that’s not much! How well did the other engraver series fair on launch?

[Simmoleon]

The issue I see is the 2oz silver is more than double the weight of the original 1818 crown but only 3mm more in diameter making the coin a fatty and hence, the edge looks too big. The 5oz diameter I think is 60mm so despite it’s even heavier the coin seems to present better
