Royal Mint releasing a Queen (band) coin at 9am for any fans interested 

Design is ok but bland

Doesn't say mintages up live yet

- 2oz Silver Proof – an extremely low mintage of 500.
- 2oz Gold Proof – 53 available, the same number of Top 40 UK Singles achieved by Queen
- Kilo Gold Proof – only 6 available, the same number of UK Number 1 singles achieved by Queen

Thanks, whats the larger silver with the plain edge?

Pure modern coin.....some may like it but I am not one of them. Queen have a worldwide following, so probably enough interest out there for this amount of mintage amongst the die hards.

I have dealt with music memorabilia for over 30 years, and sold loads of queen collectors items, some have deep pockets, top 10 of collectibles bands. I could give you 100+ queen items that could sell for £100+.  Gold will be too rich for most collectors,my hunch is the silver proof will sell out super quick as it's realistic price for a music fan to afford. Brian may minted a trade mark sixpence in 1993 for back to the light tour, was fiver at the gig, it's 100 to 150 now a queen fan would happily pay. Queen have worldwide following have conventions, fan club meets. PS I think the coin is awful by the way

Wasnt there a 2005 Queen Pick one too? 

[Zhorro]

The “design” is terrible, the prices will be outrageous, and to me the issue is a complete disappointment.

[ilovesilverireallydo]

And I think a PobJoy 2017 news Of the World

Yeah they are available 2005 and 2008 queen and Paul Rodgers tours to, the original 1993 is most sought after, also a usa 2004 that you could only get from Paris casino wwry shop for the musical when it was on there

 

[terakris]

Mintages not that low... pass.

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Theres no 2 oz proof I can see? The others are high mintage

 

[Paul]

Mintages to high to look to profit from flipping now site is live. Little to no upside imo. Not sure where coin struck got those details from

[Sovereign]

why the 1/4oz looks bigger than 1oz 😂

[Paul]

1oz gold proof is sold out in under 1hr 

[Kookaburracollector]

Fantastic band, terrible looking coin IMO....Another opportunity lost by The Royal Mint...’Another one bites the dust’!

Pretty dull design. Like the 'record' acrylic block for the half ounce silver though.

Wow... this will be something else, indeed. Looks like another Una-type coin offering, which will be very exclusive. I might dip my toes in that 2oz, if it would be possible to get one... 500 is very low mintage. 

PS: I'm not a Queen fan at all. but I'd go for an exclusive coin.

Yes I think I will try for the 2oz silver when it’s released.

5oz silver with gilding?

Only one of the bunch worth looking at imo, the gold highlights actually work.

edit: ah that's the one ounce, nice but high mintage and price.

Why/how did Brian May mint sixpences?

So a musical legends series! Surely the Beatles, Pink Floyd , maybe Bowie, who else - U2? The Stones would be a bit dodgy as Their Satanic Majesties and there's quite a few that they'd have to be careful on and could send the series down the Gary Glitter.

Brian May uses a penny as a guitar pick hence why the Royal Mint probably let him do his own coin.

He still uses them to this day, he just goes to the mint and buys up all the sixpences 👍
