I saw that. Nothing quite like exploiting the market on day one.

"Exploiting the market " LOL aka running a profitable business. In the UK they'll be lucky to make 200$ profit at that price

The other 20 will most likely be for a complete set of the Engravers series in a special packaging.

That would be an expensive buy! 

I hope they do the 1935 crown.

Let's get one thing clear. I like the coin connection!

I thought it was a bit cheeky to slap another grand on the asking price within a few hours of release when they realised which way the wind was blowing.

Indeed. Sorry

Whoever had paddle 11065 had plenty of cash. Only managed to get 3 half sovs & not the other 3 I wanted because they kept bidding me up.

[AgCoyote]

Will there be a bullion version of this?

Not normal no but it was their 1st auction on the platform & the 1st coin was open on other platforms but not others. I couldn't bid on the first couple due to them not realising but eventually got there

[Goldmick]

Thanks looking forward to the next one. I had a good look at the site and now khow it very well. 

[Goldmick]

Might even sell a few coins on there. Think its 10% not to bad

I wanted the 1893 1 SOV PF but that went for way more than i thought it was worth. I did manage to buy the 1825 1/2 Sov MS64. I really like this coin and its in amazing shape

 

Oh that is really nice. Good job I was out yesterday or I might have bid you up!

Interesting in the past 24 hours, not ONE of the gold UNA & LION coins have been listed to eBay by an opportunist flipper/quick profit takers.  A few of the silver proofs are listed however

Think Ive got good feelings long term for this one, once series is over. 205 mintage, is suitably low to always be rare (supply vs demand) 

Great we have a chance to own what is recognised as one the most beautiful gold coins of all time with

180+ years of history between issues. 

Worldwide appeal to any gold collector - a beautiful gold coin is a beautiful gold coin

As numistacker said in his vids, once these are in a serious collection. I think this will be a keeper forever, not to see the light of day again unless totally necessary   Needs some spare cash, the krugerrands & bullion sovereigns will go before Una

Maybe no so much a winner for the silver IMO, with potential spotting issues & high initial price etc. It hasn't been an instant sell out, but can see it being a sell out before the weekend, with those with smaller pockets wanting their piece of una

Anyone else have thoughts or opinions on this 

[BrumChris]

I agree. The gold will disappear. Not sure how much of a price rise it will have but it will always retain its value plus some. 

I think the silver will sell out and also hold its value. Can't see it making money though.

I think it could do well given the low mintage and the popularity of the design. I think most will just stay in people's collections. 

Just annoyed it wasn't released in the original 5 sov size.

 

I to think the Gold coin has no resale value (as in we will not see them) as no one will sell it, or collectors who have missed it will have other coins to collect at the very high premiums the will be asked.

I have friends in south wales who know an employee.  Every now and then something gets out.  There were dicussions about making this a £5 pound coin for obvious reasons.   

As a £5 I'd probably have cracked and grabbed a gold. 

[BrumChris]

Silver showing as 95% reserved now. Might actually sell out today. 

[Pipers]

This is a new series, wyon was chief engraver for a long time i think about 23 years .  Thats a lot of coins!! 

[AndrewSL76]

I was hoping for another Minty Piggy Bank as part of the Wyon launch. They missed a trick here. They could easily have commissioned a further 250 pigs and decorated them with a Una and the Lion design. 

[Pipers]

Has anyone enqired about the Una and the Lion 1kg coin?

I just checked and Wyon did the Gothic Crown.. fingers crossed they release that design, that will be amazing

I highly doubt the possibility as QEII’s effigy needs to be on the obverse, and it would be quite strange to have QV’s effigy on the reverse.

But they’ve done “dual head” coins in the past, so there could be a small chance.

I assume they would do the Gothic reverse and Queen Liz obverse? like they've done for the Una coin

Hmm, personally I don’t think the reverse is as iconic as the obverse to warrant being part of the series, but that’s just me
