You can't actually place an order yet, only enter your email address to be contacted when it becomes available.

Also... no picture still.

I wish they'd released the bullion version first but can only assume they've done things this way round for this release in an effort to boost proof sales. I suspect the tactic is probably working and that they'll end up selling more proof versions of this coin vs bullion than for previous releases. We'll see how it's worked in the sales figures eventually.

Hopefully it's in stock by the time the next group order comes around

Along with the 10oz unicorn.

Strange thing is there was a picture yesterday. I saw it on Facebook first then went to GSBE and it was there too.

I must admit I wasn't impressed and it seemed very large compared with previous releases, but I suppose being a bird it is shorter.

They are proof not BU @brixtonh24

[engire]

They probably just put it up to lure people to the website as they expect it to be released soon. Any official announcements yet for the BU version?

Is that brilliant uncirculated or bullion?

[Deglin98]

Site states BU so i'm guessing bullion 🙂

Ok, I thought the "BU" abbreviation referred to brilliant uncirculated?

For example the Royal Mint sells BU Britannias that have a flat field and cone in a presentation box, whereas Royal Mint Bullion sells the bullion Britannias at much closer to spot price and with the radial field

[Deglin98]

Sorry, I was just kidding.  Should have made that a bit more Obvious.

I think it does stand for Brillant uncirculated.

I'm not even sure if they make Queen's Beasts in bullion ?

Presale of the 10oz Unicorn starts 24 September

Finally an image of the silver bullion Queen's Beasts falcon. I like it.

 

[AppleZippoandMetronome]

That is very nice looking and such a good price on goldsilver.be  Might have to add this to my list!

[PansPurse]

Such a relief to see the Bullion one looking closer in style to the rest of the series

[StackerNoob]

Looks awesome!

I totally agree. Was very worried when they released the proof version and the design wasn't all that Queen's Beasty.

[RoughDog]

looks better than the proof version to me.

[AuricGoldfinger]

How can a proof version be so wrong but a BU version be so right!?!? 😀

Personally I'm not complaining that I can buy 2 x 2oz beautiful bullion coins for less than the price of a single unattractive 1oz proof coin.

I'm going to say that this one of my favourites of the series so far. Up there with the Griffin maybe, with the Dragon not far behind, the Lion and Unicorn next in line, and the Bull my least favourite by far.

I think it looks great, nicer than the proof version.

May well be my fav QB design so far! I will definitely be buying a lot of these.

[Bagenz]

Not sure why but this looks ok now, I think the Falcon stands out more, almost 3d.

I will be getting some in the new group order.

Just thankful its turned out to be a nice match to the others.
