Queens Beast Bull - First look

[PansPurse]

Just seen how much cheaper a tube of Bulls is on the Royal Mint bullion website. Even adding VAT it works out just over £15/Oz... It's almost as if they know they've got a stinker on their hands

I wonder if this was a bad price.  I tried to buy some just now, and all the tubes are showing out of stock.  In any case, thank you for the notification!  This would have been my lowest price beast bullion even net of international shipping.

I concur, thinking of grabbing a tube just as general cheap bullion... Except I keep promising myself that if I spend that much it'll be on a 1/4oz of gold

Although it could just be that they haven't fully launched them yet? European dealers are expecting them mid march do hopefully RMB will have them available in a couple of weeks?

It could be, so it would be interesting to hear if anyone was able to buy at that price. I've purchased a few time from RM bullion to determine if there was a quality difference vs. APMEX (I decided that for an overseas buyer, this is a good way to go only if you want to grade bullion). However, this is the first time Royal Mint Bullion has seemed less expensive, so it makes sense that maybe they aren't ready to sell yet. APMEX has them on presale ready to ship on March 14.  

I'll still watch to see if they show as in stock though ?

Just checked the website, not in stock yet, but the tube price has gone up to match the other tubes... rats!

[PureGold]

Much better imo

That's one butch looking bull, makes a change from the camp one.

This is probably the weakest in QB design so far, but to balance heraldic design with Jody Clark’s modern design language is no easy task especially he is not given much time to research and iterate

At this pace there may be two more by year end...

You meant the 1oz gold proofs? 

[STONE]

No, the silver ones. That's were this thread started I believe...

[*tada*]

I got the 1oz gold proof and must say it looked much better in person than Mint generated photos. A little bird told me that for the initial batch submissions 70 grades are a bit lower than usual this time (compared to amazingly high 70 percentages on previous 3 QB 1oz gold proof issues), so if you’re buying the proof coins def cherry pick them.

 

Oops I just realized this is for silver, apologize but I’m really too lazy to open another post under gold...
