Got through earlier to the same miserable woman as the other day...she said I'd already had three so I can't get any more.

Same coin, different box? Another piss-take from the Royal Mint imvho, they can't get much right really can they? 🤣

Sounds like the same miserable      I got through to yesterday!

Not sure, I never got one, even though I phoned at 10 am and they were still selling them at 10:30 am - she told me they were all sold out!

They dont have thr black box, only white box proof at £75. They don't come with a COA

[watchesandwhisky]

Hmm no COA is strange..

[danmc82]

Waiting time is 21 days. Wife on phone to them now

[danmc82]

Only 3 per household so wouldnt let us order

[watchesandwhisky]

they do have coa - not numbered though, on phone now.

They said black box version is John Lewis version which is 100 pound 

white box version 75 without coa is different 

then I said go ahead anyway 

 

then he says sorry I can’t get you anymore bevayse you have bought way too many

I would try again, maybe you’ll get another call handler?

I just got through after 20 mins wait.  

I bought x2 @£75 each plus a fiver postage. 

The call handler made me aware that this £75 Edition is stock recalled from dealers as there is so much demand.  They come with a black surround, but don’t come with a COA. 

The call handler told me the reason I could only have 2 is because she could only match the order I had already placed for the white limited 15000 edition with COA. 

Funny, because I bought one online on Monday morning and a further 2 on the phone yesterday.  

The online order came yesterday, and I flipped it on eBay straight away.  I haven’t decided what to do with the other two but I’ve just received an email to say the other two are Despatched.

I’m pleased I managed to get these other two, but it does appear that there isn’t much consistency in the selling of them.  

 

[watchesandwhisky]

Bought 3, apparently white outer box with RM crest stamped, black interior, COA is supplied but not individually numbered - lady said until recently they had been told no COA but now told there is one but not numbered - 10 - 14 day wait for delivery.

Got through on the 0345 number - didnt cut out.

Me too.

The black box version does NOT exist. The RM have bought back an allocation of 2K from a dealer which is the same coin but with no COA!

They do at John Lewis but they are personalized boxes so thats why theyre £100.

Not sure if on website but I had two RM colleagues tell me everyone keeps ringing up for the black boxes but they only do white and that JL are doing the black versions.

I think theyre getting annoyed by the amount of people asking 🤣
