So apparently these have been released and was wondering if anybody was ordering? I used to get my 1/4 beasts from perthmintbullion but they shut down, so yeah... Let me know!
Yep, got my hands on a couple already! I ordered via SD Bullion, cheapest ones I could find and their delivery times are excellent. Both of mine arrived in mint condition.
What was the sipping cost? thats the real killer when ordering from the states... APMEX for example wants $49.99 USD JUST for the one 1/4 oz coin
SD bullion is cheaper. Still relatively expensive at $38 USD, but I’m a queens beast collector and was happy to pay that shipping since it’s cheaper than Apmex, Bullionstar, and the Royal Mint for both the product and the shipping charge.
One each time, but I added a 10oz QB on each order to make it worthwhile and for it to just be under the $1K customs limit for Australia.
I found a video that has an actual 10 oz falcon The 10 oz falcon appears to be the worst of the released 10 ouncers. I don't know if I'll pay for it. Wow, I just checked the 10 oz unicorn which I paid $200 each in August. The premium has gone up at the US dealers and it's all sold out at LPM and GSB. That's a lot quicker than the 10 oz dragon and griffin.
The queens beasts were the first collectors coins I ever got into, and as every stacker does when they first get into the hobby, I went furiously hard and fast acquiring multiple sets of them. These premiums are looking almighty tasty already... I can’t wait to see what they end up being once the series is finished and I can offload all my spare sets in the display boxes
QB and Lunars were the main reason why I continued buying gold and silver during the Q3/Q4 2019 downturn and doubled my stack during that period. Had I only collected low premiums boring bars, I might have given up or bought a lot fewer ounces. Because when you're collecting a series, lower prices are something to look forward to.
Well just saying, if anybody does decide to order (more) let me know and maybe we can split shipping or something!
I've got the Lion, Dragon & Unicorn in 1/4 oz and the Unicorn in 1 oz. I recently purchased another 1/4 oz Bull but it isn't here yet. I have some catching up to do before picking up the White Lion. I'll need to get the Griffin soon as it's probably the true key coin in the set. I am here in the USA and sad to see the shipping costs you have to pay. I think the group buy option is a nice way to save on that if you can set it up.
The RM have so many great designs that look half finished to me. QBs look like cheap electro plated tokens. With a little bit of frosting they might have been stunning. The obverse on later coins looks pretty classy though.
