Westminster coin people are bad news. They'll send you all sorts of junk - they sent me solid silver coins and then demanded payment. Took a lot to get them off my back. Dont touch em with a 40ft barge pole.

I tend agree but interesting how they are going about getting their supply of £20 for £20 coins, since you know they will not be selling them for £20 or £25 each. I have gotten some £5 coins for them for £5 with free postage with no other coins sent (pays to check the terms of the offer). They do attempt to sell other overpriced coins all of them and almost all of those offers say they will send you other coins as well. Nice to know that so far, The Royal Mint is not selling these coins to dealers, otherwise this company would not be trying to buy them from the public. Ken |

That does make me wonder about the collector value of the £20 though. I had assumed that the gigantic mintage pretty much eliminated any chance of the coin going up in value. I suppose if The Royal Mint releases a new £20 every year then this year may be in demand at some point due to it being first of a new series. |

Its a popular design - plus, it will never be worth less than £20. I see no issues with it not going up in price really. Worst comes to worst, Ill take them to the bank. The whole buy-for-profit thing is not the best attitude (the canadian NCLT forum is...uhh) but in this case it is a safe investment.

Agreed, should be a 'no-lose' scenario as far as I can see (at least for Brits with no postage on 3 coins!)

I just caved & ordered 3. I have an ongoing collection of non gold St George & Dragon coins & will need to eventually complete the set. I also caved for the RCM St George & Dragon Banknote coin recently released. 72.50 pounds total for 3 to ship to US plus small currency exchange charge from my cc. |

I received an email from The Royal Mint last night which said in no uncertain terms that they will be releasing a new £20 for £20 every year, with the design changing each year as well. |

I see that Westminstercollection have now withdrawn their buy back scheme. I suspect a few shrewd individuals took advantage of the rather slack way the RM policed it's 'Only three per household' scheme. Anyone wanting more will have taken all of two seconds to realise how to get around this. I've seen a few sell for around the £20 mark on ebay though, so realising a real profit with these will be hard IMHO. |

I flipped a few. I was very impressed with the service. The money was in my paypal account the next day after posting on all occasions.

Sounds like "this wasn't as popular as we thought"
