Gazette Proclamation - Waterloo Medal (Great Engravers 2-coin set?)

[Paul]

And they are on eBay in 3, 2 ........... 1 

[Paul]

When's the next release I'm board now ?

[Wampum]

Got the 2 oz and 5 oz Silver.

[Frenchie]

Always tempted, but at the same time, I am tired with these releases...I did not even bother to be on the deck before 9AM...nor I even did not remember it has to be released today... The gold would be the one to get as usual,  but it's a bet I refuse to take in the current times...I am also thinking about the spot price  when the second coin will be release, and I am persuaded that it will be probably much more.....so how much to pay for having the full set ?

This will be probably a nice set in hand but it's a pass for me, even in silver

these times I tend to reconcentrate my aims toward liquid bullion

Well, either way its a way to buy without buying directly from the mint if anyone wanted

My thinking is similar. Would be nice to have.

But I've no big issue missing out on this today

Also like not being in debt permanently to the RM credit account

Happier to pick up already graded 70s at auction that come along every few weeks now these days or here on forum, worry free and still the odd bargain to be had

Yes, you can help but if nobody  outbid you ...well, you will have two nice Una sitting in your vault, and explain your "sweet" half that you have to prepare yourself to eat pasta for at least the 2 years to come

OK I had the five ounce silver in my cart, then I thought, I can get the 2015 gold-plated medal for 1/5 the price, with both sides covered which is 89mm in diameter as opposed to 65mm. 

If I buy the RM version I'm going to feel obligated to buy the reverse for another 500 GBP in a few months time. 

 

Besides still don't feel like all is forgiven re the monarchs series

If anyone can guarantee a mint error for £10 below RRP, I'll buy it!

[Simmoleon]

5oz back in stock

[Petra]

🤔🤔so, I assume in a few days you’ll all have pictures on here of your new medals complaining of the poor quality……. 🤔😮😁😁

One 2oz gold available at Chards by the looks of it - if anyone fancies it 

[paulmerton]

There were only 5 of the 2oz golds in stock at 9:02, so I expect there will be plenty floating around in the pool if anyone missed it.

[Wampum]

Just had my Quidco tracked for the 5oz, works out at £19.25 back from Quidco.

Used the same for the 2 oz nothing back for it yet, however used the code for the free shipping for the 2oz which could have cancelled the Quidco

Why are the video and the description on the website incomplete? They both leave out the description of the bottom half of the medal. 🫤

Its very homoerotic theme🫣

Must be the most number of small penises on a piece ever released by the RM.

Should they be bigger?!

[NGMD]

Wandered onto the site at about 10.30 just as the 5oz became available. Got free shipping so if it’s the usual standard, it’s going back. FOMO strikes again😢

Not too bothered with this one but maybe looks better in hand. 

[Wampum]

5 oz still available at 19:56.

I bought one and an evil inner voice is telling me I need two….

[westminstrel]

I’ve heard these are something like a deep strike so it might be interesting in hand in that regard too.

I got the 5oz silver and I’m happy.
