White Lion

[CosmikDebris]

Anyone placing pre orders for the White Lion given the current dip? Or do you think the price is going lower short term?

I don't know I mean, its almost as ugly as the pig coin they released this year. Looks more like a werewolf with knuckle dusters.

I like it . 😁

I think it'll look better in hand aswel.

Anyone distracted by the gap or space above the White Lion’s head between the two dots?

Now you mention it I cannot stop seeing it.....

[dicker]

Not my favourite of the series...the clear space draws the eye....

[Serendipity]

@BackyardBullion and @dicker , I’m glad to say I’m mistaken. What a relief! The photo was edited to leave out the ounces which would be where the blank space is.

 

[dicker]

Much better!

[Lindeman]

I am still unimpressed - especially by the vast swathes of blank fields left and  right of the humanised Lion... next to the Bull this is my least fav design.  Still have to buy it though 😊

First impressions: Disappointment. To me, this is the weakest design so far. But maybe the white lion itself does not inspire that much to the artist. Especially not in comparison with the lion of England. Maybe my opinions on this design will change as I grow more used to it. I hope so...

It is inevitable to compare it to the majestic lion of England design, which makes the white lion or Mortimer pale in comparison.

Nevertheless, i think it is not that bad 😉

I agree!  To me this coin shall henceforth be known as The Werelion of Mortimer.

I see now where Jody Clark’s inspiration came from 🤣

Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit. It's probably not that bad, one just has to get used to it. And no doubt it will probably become popular and loved as well.  It does look a bit different in style to me from the other ones, and it seems as if there is too much empty space on the design, as others have pointed out. But this coin has its own uniqueness, and that lion has an impressive body-builded chest i have to say...

Love the positivity! I reckon it's a a steaming pile of excrement myself, but given a year or two properly composted even that can become very valuable/desirable stuff indeed

And blimey, it's better than the Yale isn't it? Imagine if those two mated and produced offspring though!

[Abyss]

First impressions if I had never seen the other QB coins then I would consider this good design. I think disappointment when comparing to previous Designs. As long get the coins for -3% above spot I am finishing the collection.

When do the proofs come out, also this month or only next year?

Better than the Yale ? there are plenty of supporters who love that Yale with its rotating horns 

[Midasfrog]

I have decided to skip this beast and stick another Lion of England in its place , this might add value to the final set when I come to sell it 🙈

A potential buyer might comment by saying   " thank god I have found a set without the White Lion in " 🙏

[westminstrel]

Once again the proportions and pose seem off. 

The head and upper torso seem too big in comparison to the rest of the body, and the lion is sitting like a child might. The thing resembles a person in a lion costume. 

Ohh Jody!!! 🤷🏻‍♂️
