I'm surprised they didn't release this Last Christmas.

It's up live. No queue

No 2oz gold I see 

I beg to differ, I went to check on my account for the pistrucci order. I have no interest in george Michael and I started at 721 in the queue. I don't want to buy this coin yet I get put in a queue. 

[Aldebaran]

He was so good looking, how can they produce something like that 🖖

[tpcob303]

The queue is much slower than pistrucci as well, I was in by now and that queue moved really quickly I'm at 659 now in the queue. Like people were in and out getting what they wanted, this release looks like they have done a Ronaldo bust.

2oz silver & 1oz gold now sold out

Father Figure is an amazing song.

The 1/40oz golds are about to sell out, making this seem vastly more popular than the 75th birthday, RNLI, and Britannia and Liberty 1/40oz coins - each of which have been out for a while yet still have 950, 1,728 and 1,233 available to order.

Stop it or you’ll give me FOMO.

3 left! 🤣

Shame they aren't doing 1oz silver bullion versions of the Music Legends any more.  I would have bought one of these.

Can't cope with the premium on a 1/40th gold version, and don't own a magnifying glass. 😆  Might get a 1/4oz gold version on the second hand market once the value has dropped near bullion in a couple of years time... 😁

i certainly didn't think this release today would have been such a quick sell out

Shows that those buying from royal mint aren’t particularly interested in historical events!

I thought this would be a huge flop but the typical person that collects coins has changed in my mind!

[paulmerton]

I could tell this was going to be a big deal. Did anyone else notice the RM website was going slower than usual this morning?

[SovereignBull]

It was on sky news this morning!

Flipping has begun

[SovereignBull]

Still on UK page

[Chrisplym]

The demand for this coin is amazing. I certainly didn’t see it coming. The likeness is very poor.

There is still a queue to enter the Royal Mint website!

[MancunianStacker]

Only 25 2oz golds available! Did Anybody get one? £7k at Britannia Coin Co. if interested! 

[westminstrel]

All the sold out coins from yesterday are available again today.
