New RM James Bond Issue. Underwhelming

[dicker]

Lacking imagination…
 

[Zhorro]

Can we tell which Bond it is?  Or is it Johnny English?

[Stuntman]

Definitely underwhelming.  They seem to have stopped releasing the bullion versions too - unless I'm mistaken, I think they've only released the Films of the 60s coin as bullion so far.

I think the 60s coin is the best design so far.  Thankfully for my wallet, I'm not collecting this series at all.

I was only interested in this series for the silver bullion releases but so far as you said only the 1960's one has been released in bullion.

they really know how to fail from a winning position dont they?

[MrStacker]

They’ve lost the plot. I was very close in starting this series and I’m glad I was reluctant at the beginning. 
 

No more RM series for me at present. Real shame.

I'm beginning to wonder about the Tudor Beasts series. 6 releases in proof and only 4 thus far in bullion. Wonder if they'll go the proof only route moving forward?

[Upsidedown]

These have been so random, wheres the foookin DB9!?

[kimchi]

I think the first three in proof were quite lovely and not that high a mintage?

Who would buy this? Dreadful.

I've been waiting for the Tudor Dragon coin to come out in bullion so that I could buy it at the same time as another coin that I want to add to my collection (and the rising price of gold hasn't helped...) so I'd be mighty annoyed if the RM cancelled this series in bullion too.  They'd be absolutely mad to do that, it would destroy any remaining trust that they have.

They won't cancel the Tudor Beasts. ( let's all laugh at this in 6 months

Auragentum (German dealer) has a note to bullion coin, that there will be 2 issues per year. So seems like RM has chosen the different pace for bullion release vs proof. That's even may be quite "logical" as otherwise there'd be "too many" bullion releases at the same time, but of course it would be better if it's clearly communicated.
