I cancelled my 4 coin set a few days ago,  sick of the waiting from the mint, the potential QC issues - this years price rises and mintage was enough for me to say enoughs enough😐
£350 quid more than the 4 coin jubilee set. 
No doubt they will be stunning coins if you get a good set. But I question the resale potential now and I can only justify paying such premiums if I at least think I can profit at some point. For me its too much this year.

We're missing a trick here. Next year I will put up a load of bullion sovs on a £1 FVF offer at a premium to make it beneficial for both parties.

I was fortunate that I sold out of 80% of my bitcoin at 55k dollars btc to put down a sizable deposit on a flat - the remaining 20% is pure profit but has tanked hard as would be expected. 
But I am not selling, and have no panic. Bitcoin I do feel will come back with a vengeance and when it does it will go to six figures upwards. 

Nice! if only the royal mint were as fast! 

yawn, as heard in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018… ready to go back in the cupboard to be dusted off again in the next cycle
I remember not buying bitcoin at £50 because it was “too volatile”. fortunately I have learned a hell of a lot since then, I would’ve have almost certainly sold it for £100 and felt smug for a little while, or lost my private keys
I was lucky enough to know a guy who mined 3BTC on his laptop only to have them stolen as he didn’t secure his private keys, made me learn self-custody
another guy I know purchased 20BTC at a few £ each to pay for a dodgy film he and his wife watched, he is philosophical  about it
I am still learning a hell of a lot about bitcoin almost every day
stay humble, stack sats

Being repeated this year.  Terms slightly less attractive.  Happening this Friday.

I've never thought Bitcoin was digital gold. I'm not sure who started the term probably one of the bitcoin zealots like Max Keiser or Michael Saylor?
It doesn't have to be in my mind either. It goes up and down like everything else. 
Joe public normally buys and sells on herd mentality and feel secure when everyone's wants to do the same thing.
Very few like to buy when its down though.
There are bad actors in every space. Isn't every investment viewed with the hope somebody will pay more for it later?
There will always in every market cycle be somebody left holding the bag? The stock market will crater again and the banks too probably?
Then the public will be left holding the bag to bailout the greed, fraud and incompetence.
Crypto is being integrated in the businesses and financial sector now.
It's not wishful thinking it's happening across the world.
There will be multiple winners and losers.🤷‍♂️ 
I'm fairly immune mentally to the fluctuations in crypto and precious metals.
If it gets to you that bad your more then likely over invested and over leveraged. 
Volatility creates opportunity to invest.

Due to age and ill health I have now disposed of all of my collection and accessories through the Forum, and I should like to thank all the members for their help, advice (and purchases)
In particular I thank everyone with whom I have dealt for their friendliness and courtesy in all my dealings.
Kind regards to all - I am still in the market for a Kilo silver coin for my Great granddaughter if there are any bargains about!

Don't keep bitcoin on an exchange, it's been said a thousand times yet people still do, it's like a gold etf or some oblique digital gold account - if you don't hold it, you don't own it. 
Also, zoom out. There's been a pandemic, war in Ukraine, spiraling cost of living and inflation, stock markets are down too, people aren't going to be putting their spare money in a speculative asset, people are struggling with money to begin with, yet bitcoin is still £14,000.
Bear and bull markets are in everything, stocks, precious metals, crypto, if you bought bitcoin this time 3 years ago, you'd still be up nearly 400%. 
Using a bull ATH with a bear bottom to make your point that "bitcoin is dead it's fallen X%, completely ignoring the huge gains by zooming out just reinforces your obvious bias. 
But your mind is already made up, so what's the point I guess.  

Depends what we deem a winner, but in terms of desirability and importance yes, 100% its going to be desirable and important forever more. Its a superb design and the first sovereign of a new monarch and we shouldn’t let the madness of release days distract us from the bigger picture.
Its only in very recent years have any coins sold out in the first days / few hrs (since mid 2020) and that was due to the very weird and pumpy environment we were in. 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012, 2016 & 2017 and everything in between took days if not weeks (and probably months on the early ones). These will all be sold out soon enough if that is what some measure success by.
In terms of mintages these (the 5 and 2 anyway) are low for proof coronation / first of a monarch sovereign sets if you look at anything from Edward VII 1902 proof set onwards. Regardless of what comes, this set is as important as any sovereign set that marked a new monarch and also rarer than most, with the odd exception (1953 for example). Arguably for Sovereign collectors, particularly type collectors this is the most significant and important release in 85yrs, since George VI.
1902 5 coin proof set 8,000 ish sets
1911 5 coin proof set - 2,800 ish sets
1937 5 coin proof set - 5,001 sets
1953 5 coin proof set - 3 or 4 sets
2022 5 coin proof set (KCIII) - 1200 sets (less than 2000 2 Sovereigns in total)
as something to think about, even the 1839 Una has reported mintage of 400 and I doubt that fully accounts for the extra’s struck in the years following 1839.
i grade so I've picked up a few sets todays where I could, i’ll put a 5 coin 70 set together and then move the rest on, a  profit would be nice but not essential.
These are superb and i think once im hand collectors will be very reluctant to let them go.

Yes and it's tarnishing my enjoyment of the DVDs from one of my favourite childhood shows
Can't we call them Lassies or even (for the younger generation) Teletubbies?
I am guessing Mr Noseybonks may be too obscure (?)

got conformation for the 4 coin set, turned down a five coin I think as nice as they are logistically selling them in future could be a bit more of a ball ache due to the values.
