So what do we think this will look like? I reckon the dog will be on this one.

I think @h103efa found on the gazette that it would be with the dog iirc.

Was November last year. RM probably think the hype will be higher closer to xmas. This probably means they want more coins to sell, so higher mintage 😯

Hopefully they don't increase the mintage. 15k is a nice low number

Agreed. The 2nd Gruffalo released on the same mintage as the 1st so hopefully the same for the snowman.

Problem is, the Snowman was very popular so I'm hoping the RM dont increase for this reason.

So when do we think? Before Dec?

The link above indicates a December release.

[Bullionaire]

The Facebook posts from the mint are getting more 'snowy', so I don't think we'll have to wait for December.

[Bluenitsuj]

Could be released tomorrow. Just had email from RM and coin exchange saying very heavy snow tomorrow????

[mustynewb]

Yeah seems that way. Was hoping they'd wait for me to get paid first!

It also says the bunc cost £3.99 last year, so hopefully just sloppy journalism
