Didn't take long...Royal Baby Commemoraitve Silver Coin

[xrayspecs]

I only heard the news on my way to work and by the time I got my computer on there was already an advert for the first of the Royal Baby commemoratives! They work fast these days! :lol:

At least with this one the Royal Mint didn't have to worry about getting the likeness right

That being said, it's apparently the first time the sovereign design has been struck in silver in over 100 years, that's a bit special

WoW I like it

 

[silvertop]

Like like, cheers mate.

I don't see,anywhere where it says its a baby commerative coin
Except for the Downies shpiel

It's on the cert...and on the Royal Mint website, of course

The sovereign design is a time-honored winner and this is a great-looking coin, but that $150 price is just deadly.
Royal Mint pricing is badly disconnected from reality. I'd love to have one, but at this price I just can't. Maybe
enough Brits will be caught up in the upcoming tide of Royal Baby Fever to make the coin a winner, but I doubt
it'll sell widely outside of the UK at that price.

Edit: Just noticed it's only .925, too. That's a letdown, after they just upgraded the Britannias to .999...

LOL. Pays to check before you jump to conclusions.

Got to say when i clicked on this thread i was half expecting to see some horrible baby depiction. This, imo, is a happy surprise!

I was expecting a baby on the coin like all the other Royal commerative stuff
I think it was just an excuse to put the words " BABY COIN " on the COA

 

[Naphthalene Man]

I really really want the coin, not the COA and certainly not for $150

 

[DanielM]

Exactly!! Way too much. I'd pay $70....$80 max.... Oh well

 

[Stark]

Buy this coin and support Royal family, so they will get enough money for diapers!!!^^

 

[House]

And another $55million for Prince Harry's wedding

 

[PMS]

WOW This is an amazing coin, St George slaying the royal baby. I'll be buying one for sure!

Ha ha!

I have a slight regret of not buying the sovereign one but this one release by Perth make Kate look fugly. Waiting for what the RCM one look like. They are releasing theirs set today

I'd love an annual 5 pound silver crown issue from the gb mint.. Would need to be under $5 over spot.. Til then ill get the antique ones

 

[PAGAU]

this one release by Perth make Kate look fugly

My thoughts exactly.

Also the princes' teeth look like those chompers from that tall guy Jaws in the James Bond movies.

I wont be buying the Perth coin but I would buy the pommie version - if the price was halved.

Nice enough looking coins, but really just generic baby birth coins as no mention of Royal Baby's name or anything. Hardly a Royal commerative like its being touted as. Open to public now and not selling to well.
