I'm so lucky, I just checked the Royal Mint website and saw the 1oz silver proof is available! So I snatched one for £90 while I could, and I see it is sold out again

They are going for crazy prices now on eBay, over £200. Also, sold out at Coin Connection.

I'm going to grade this one and sell it.

Well done 👍

sold mine on ebay for £185

Unfortunately, it’ll be more than likely...🙄

Just managed to get hold of a 2oz Gold Queen Music legends direct from the RM...53 in circulation, that was a very quick “yes please”...Will study coin very closely for defects

Yeah 2oz silver, 2oz gold and kilo gold. Still stuck on "register interest/coming soon"

I believe to have an account manager you need to have a credit account. For those of us who just ‘pay and go’ they don’t assign account managers. 

[AppleZippoandMetronome]

Guessing this is for those 2oz gold and silver coins as well as the 1 kilo gold... 

I am quite curious

I am after the Silver 2 oz Coin Coinsters !!!!  Grumpy Dave ( Golden Turtle ) are you Listening ?

[magpie79]

Interesting ! But dodgy tactics from the mint 

a little unfair for people that brought from the First release (especially 1oz gold buyers) that are thinking they had a best coin from that series

Looking at the action in the 1oz gold Queen coin aftermarket, no shortage of genuine sales on a mintage of x300, flippers have been out in force for it, but amount of green confirmed sales is encouraging

The 2oz gold at a super low x53 mintage

2oz is a nice weighty chunk of Au. to hold Nice and weighty

About the maxium cost joe public could stomach, £3995 if Una & Lion is the same RRP for 2oz but would be the jewel in the crown of an Queen collectors music memorabilia collection AND coin collector alike

Queen fans can have very deep pockets when needed, the 1977 200 limited edition of Bohemian Rhapsody on 7" on royal blue vinyl that was released for EMI services to music 1977 was limited to 200, a full set with 7" record,invite, goblets, scarf, envelope, menu & bag   is around £3500-£5000 the very rare times they have came to market over the past years

Im pretty confident that would be a strong caditiate to hold its own value RRP with good chance up an upside long time, especially if spot increases in years to come

You will always have 2oz of gold there (approx £2,400 minium)

Putting my rep on the line saying this one may be worth a punt personally

It was known that they would be releasing these coins since the original ones were released. I personally didn't buy any of the original ones as seeing the mintage for these upcoming coins it was clear (IMO) that these would be the ones to have.

How does one go about getting a RM credit account?

Lmao, i thought that might be the case! 

[Paul]

Seriously, i think if you know your credit worthy (ie pay all your bills on times) they will extend a level of credit to what you safe with 

They will proably just run a credit check on you through experian or equifax to determine your risk factor

https://www.royalmint.com/help/onlineshoppingfaqs/payment-types/

"If you already have a credit account with the Royal Mint and it covers the total cost of your order you can choose during the checkout process to use your available credit to make the purchase."

Might be just as easy to give them a ring to see how you go about it.  

But personally i would never want to be in hock for what is supposed to be an investment, if i cant afford I simply cant get it just now

The ones from the first release should remain desirable, as only a small fraction of people would be able to get their hands on these special ones. It might even enhance the popularity of the first ones..

[AppleZippoandMetronome]

The only thing I worry about now is how gimmickey are these coins going to be? The note in the email about them featuring an animation on the piano keys has me curious. A hollogram... something else? Be interesting to see come 9 am tomorrow.

Agree very much here. With those mintages there definitely won't be enough to go around. Getting one of these is going to require a bit of luck as much as anything else

[Paul]

Is it entry to these Queen specials tomorrow via special link to those who registered & expressed interest in the LTD editions

or is it open to all "joe public" ?

anyone know

No queue to get on royal mint, 45 mins to launch
