Me too overwhelmed and confused 

I was looking to buy *something* related to the platinum jubilee, memorial, coronation etc - just to bung away and forget about. Issue is, I don't have time to keep up with all the releases and to me, it just seems like a hugely saturated market with too much choice (Royal Mint's fault?) and so I've ended up not buying anything! Especially when you add proofs versus bullion into the mix, as well as all the different denominations and sets. At this point, I'm just overwhelmed and confused.

I have come close 50 times to buying Charles pf70 sovs and pulling the trigger on here they seem an absolute bargain 
But why aren't they selling? There not selling at all which is making me reluctant 
I know it's been covered a million times but someone help me out am I missing a bargain or has Charles rogered sovs 
 
 

NGC Ancient Roman coin from a hoard of 2,000 coins found at the colosseum history right here 
Could have been used to buy a prossie, bet on a gladiator or purchase some lurpak butter for anal coin buggery 

Nice easy one

I think the real problem is RM's release policy, and pricing policy.
We were surprised by the Memorial sovereign, but many bought it because it was the first KCIII portrait on a sovereign.  But then after buying the proof, the bullion version was released - so this detracted from the novelty of the proof version. 
People rushed to buy the Coronation SOTD (understandably), but then the novelty of this release was immediately undermined with the proof Coronation version (with a massive mintage), and this was immediately undermined with the bullion release.
And this brings us onto the potential of a KCIII 75th Birthday SOTD sovereign - I will not be buying it even if the mintage is a fraction of that of the Coronation SOTD.  Within a month or two of such a release we will be due the 2024 proof sovereign.  And again I will not be buying it - a bullion 2024 sovereign will be enough for me.
When I started collecting 5 years ago, a proof sovereign was about £410 (2019 proof - and at the time this seemed expensive!).  We then had the leap to £800 for the Brexit SOTD, and the 2021 proof sovereign went up to £570.  The Memorial proof was about £695 and the Coronation SOTD was a record of £850.
So not only are we getting more releases but the prices have increased massively - at a time of a cost of living crisis.  As many collectors already have the coins they want from the last few years, the only way to move something on, is by being aggressive on price.

These seem a bargain !! Been looking at them for the last few hours lol 🤣

Fatigue.
People have been bombarded by so many commemoratives since the Queen's death that they've reached exhaustion point. It'll take years for the market to recover.
And I still haven't got my Charles III five pences I've been waiting for.

When things are undervalued the instant reaction might be to buy the dip...

The whole forum is very slow, nothing specific to Charlie boy and likely to do with the state of the world/cost of living, although he won't have the same appeal his mother had. I personally think the memorial sovereigns are bargains, and the coronation are holding a little better but still under RRP. Everything is a buyers market currently and will take a few years to regulate itself, especially on proof items.
