Tis' August.... only 2 coins behind.   

Coin #4 has already been shipped

Coin #5 has been minted, I did not want to ship it yet as August is a bad month here in Spain. Everyone on holiday and postal services only offer minimum service.

#6 Design being finished is on track for Sept delivery

[Fattcatt]

Any updates on when we should see delivery of the next coins?  

[chronicsky]

that looks great!

can't wait to see the rest of the coins

[Fattcatt]

Hey CI, any ideas on when we'll be getting some of the new coins, and the TIMES newspapers? 

[CryptoImperator]

Updated with coin #6/10

[selassiesoildier]

Looks great CI. Can’t wait to see what 2020 will bring. Merry Christmas!!

[Fattcatt]

 We can't see the serial numbers on the new hologram? What coins have the new holograms? So the set of coins will not all be uniform?

With new hologram I refer to the one used in 2019 coins, I mean that with this hologram (All 10 set coins have the same one) it is a bit trickier to see the serial number.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!

CryptoImperator - my friend - you and your coins are simply the best.  

I gave a new product idea to my new Mr. BitcoinPenny   lets see if he likes that. If he passes I will forward that idea to you.

I'm gutted I missed out on the "2009 The Times" 10th anniversary coin. Looks a neat little collectible, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for anyone offloading theirs in the next few years.

[Fattcatt]

It's a set of 10 coins, not 1

[Welsh]

It's a set of 10 coins, not 1

Yeah, I understand that. However, that one in the set is a particularly nice coin. I'm not too fussed on the others honestly so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the market to see if anyone wants to sell it separately.

For the amount that was paid just to have rights to this set of coins..... I don't see them being broken up unfortunately.

I got the #9 coin, still waiting for the #10 coin (and the #8). Also got the Times News Paper, Thanks CI  ! The coins look great   Excited to see what kind of a coin holder you're going to come up with for all of these.
