Gents a new £20 coin to be released at the END of July 2014.

Are you In or Out!!!!

In.

Although I'm confused by the RM email. It said the first coin sold out with 250,000 pieces and due to unprecedented demand for the second coin mintage will be increased to 250,000! WTF!!!

First thing I thought too, must be a mistake.

Let me help them.

Due to unprecedented demand, mintage has increased from 250,000 to 250,001. We expect this second coin to sell out quickly and recommend that you buy within the first 6 months to avoid disappointment.

But on a serious note. How long was the first coin on sale for?

Just over a year if I remember correctly.

If that is unprecedented demand, the other coins must take years to sell.

Mintage of the second coin was only supposed to be 150,000. So they have increased it to 250,000 it looks like.

This coin will have a different design?

In for sure. Although I am slightly miffed that there will be a second first ever £20 coin printed. It isn't like the last one flew off the shelves is it? So perhaps the "unprecedented" part of the demand was how slowly it sold! lol

 

Hay!! Because the last one sold soooooo slowly we are printing another one which we will up the mintage to exactly how many we minted last time! :unsure:

Any profit is a good profit. But it does look like the RM will complete destroy this with another £20 coin so soon.

 

I can't see the logic behind the RM thinking, Lets flood the market with Specials, Limited Ed and lets make another comemmerative coin only a few months after the last one.

 

Maybe if we make sooo many of these we can get other vendors to sell them for less than we do.

 

A bit mad maybe but i will buy a couple of these just for shits and giggles.

The new £20 coin will have a different design though? So therefore it's a different coin.

Still though, maybe a bit too soon for a new release. I guess they saw it was a big success and they want to make more profit.

From the RM.

 

"As Britain’s first £20 coin has sold out, we are pleased to announce that the second of these collectable coins will soon be revealed.

 

The next £20 fine silver coin will be struck to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War."

 

And "Shipping by end of July."

 

From this i am expecting a different design with sales starting sooner.

What have you done to that?

Mine has been in my wallet for ages and it's still lovely, although has fine scratches all over.

Absolutely nothing. It's just been sat on a coin stand on top of my monitor since it was opened. It's been toning for sometime but thought I'd show it today

My daughter was born on the same day as our future king, so she got a free silver penny.

They only gave out 2013 of them, probably less.

 

desperately wanted to get my hands on one of those silver penny, took a punt but mine was born 2 weeks premature.  Now lumbered with a baby and no coin.  Win some lose some.

Unlucky, but congratulations.

Ours was a week late, but she was born about 1 hour before the prince.
