Received my set on Friday though delivery was not expected until late next week. First item I have ordered from the RCM this year and probably not the last since I am now .05 away from bronze level. Hoping that there will be a special circulation set in June to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee or at least a Coronation set for 2023. I am not surprised the set sold out so quickly as it goes nicely with the 95th birthday set which had a higher (6500) mintage. Should be interesting to see what effect this will have on the retail price. |

Funny how this set is selling for over $400 on ebay, $150 above retail and no one is saying anything, this hobby is really dead. |

@spacetoyota: I created the thread because I thought the set might prove to be popular. Feel free to express your thoughts about its current market activity - your comments might spark others to join the conversation!

Its too soon to say whether this is a hot coin given there are only a few listings and sales on ebay. The blue Rhodium 5 oz is hot given it has many listings and selling for $250 -$300 above issue price. Also, there is always a handful of coins every year that do very well on ebay; so just because these 2 coins are doing well does not mean the hobby is overall doing well. None of the Jan. and Feb. releases besides these 2 coins have done well on ebay.

For me, I preferred the design of the coins in the joint release from the set last year better. There wasn't much discussion about that set last year.

I'm surprised this set is sold out. Monarch theme hasn't done well for many years.

Monarch theme hasn't done well for many years. She will only reign for 70 years once. Given her age, she might not make another anniversary, so this could be the last coin issued in her honour. God Save, and long live our gracious Queen.

The Mint also created a platinum coin for the same occasion. It is very rare, less than 300 mintage

For billing reasons, I asked that mine be delayed until March. I received it yesterday. So, how much stock do you give a specific COA number? I figure mine #2021 was only off by 1.  Edited by Dcadon

If they guaranteed the striking order of the coins, it would be different. As is, a coin struck within the first 100 produced can have a COA with a number in the 1000s. That said, they can make for an interesting conversation topic! Some COA numbers are definitely more interesting than others! Congrats on yours!
