Today I bought.....

[Clens92]

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I googled "Royal Mint Beatrix Potter" and have been able to purchase without any queues or issues?  The whole process has taken about 3 minutes.

This is creating quite a hype.

No idea how it's happened, but it's still clear at my end.

 

Best of luck!!

Bought from the Mint over an hour ago and have had  no confirmation of purchase. So just bought one from Chards .

Last night I had a look when the email came through.

I decided not to bother as why would a second Peter Rabbit be as popular as before.

thought that myself and they've doubled the mintage too, but decided it wouldn't lose anything and might be a winner.

I believe that's fairly typical when they're busy - their email system lags a long way behind the website... don't worry yet

only 1 per household also Westminster have some available but site has crashed

I waited in the line patiently and bought 3 for delivery to the USA. I obtained a 4.6% discount from topcashback and saved the VAT of 20% but paid 12.50 postage. Net saving on 3 coins was £18.88 so I think they have a reasonable upside despite the crazy 30,000 mintage.

 

3	50	150	60	180
Less 4.6%		6.90		8.28
plus postage		12.50		0.00
		169.40		188.28
			Saving	18.88
			Saving pc	6.29

......... I am buying it now....... can I blame you HAHAHAHA

[fehk2001]

royal mint sold out rabbit........ got one from chard at the end

[Clens92]

Totally sold out in a little under 14 hours.

I'd say that augurs well for a good short-term flipping opportunity.  Hope everybody got what the quantities they needed!

[shawy2510]

Queue atm is over 20000 still. Should have bought 2 or 3 instead of 1.

[sovereignsteve]

LOL

[Paul]

the launch it came up on my sky news feed so royal mint must have the PR in place for TV coverage - so all the bargain hunt and crap in the attic folk will be on royal mint m'thinks

[Silverstackeruk]

Who in there right mind would queue in that when you can buy from Westminstercoins no queue and better cashback...Didn't want to but bought 5 rabbits ?
