Queens beast unicorn bullion

[Ryland]

Do you guys think the unicorn, bullion version has a good chance of selling well above spot in a couple years the way the lion does now?  

[Goldmick]

If we know that we would all buy lots lol and the lion has only been out a year oh welcome to the forum

I think I was told way back when that the lion would be the key release to the set (?). Long sold out isn't it, and was it the first? Lots more folk are on board now so I'd imagine there are a lot more unicorns, which reduces its chances imho.

I have one (Lion) but the series doesn't grab me particularly, I'll sell it on with the other one I have (both NGC 69) when the time seems right. How are they doing at the moment?

You can stil buy the lion from Atkinson for £283

I was thinking about the 1 oz, from what I’ve seen the lion sells for closer to $1400 but I’d have to check again to be sure

The lion was the first then the griffin, dragon and now the unicorn.  I loved the lion design and bought a mini tube of 10, only one griffin and no dragons.  For some reason I don’t like dragons on coins....don’t know why.  Last night I just bought 10 of the unicorns for almost at spot!  Very happy with that.  I realize that it’s mostly just a play on gold price but it would be nice if they were also sought after in the future.

I got my lion last month from royal mint so there not sold out, also found them the cheapest by far

The one oz bullion?  Maybe there’s less of a premium because most of you are in the U.K.?

[mr-dead]

last night I paid $1306.79 for the unicorn with a credit card!  So you can take off 2% because of the card I used.  So roughly $1280.65 or £967.70

They buy from the public so I guess someone cashed in four (or perhaps more before you checked, unless you had an alert set up?). Could be from a bigger number that were cherry picked, could be blind, who knows!

The 1/4 bullion? If so surprised to hear that, but maybe they found a few odd ones laying around (or, to be more cynical, perhaps had kept back to get more folk interested in the new release!).

[blab]

I knew they buy from the public but wouldn't that be in the ''pre-owned" section not "new" unless they found more stock. Who knows.?

You could well be right, sorry - I don't think you mentioned they were in the 'new' section (?).

If there were coins on the RM site also recently it seems like maybe the mint have released either a few they 'found', or some of the last few they kept back to cover returns.
