I was controlling myself to look only at the 1sovereign at RM site, but now i am tempted to also complete the set 😅 They look really nice together. I understand that they are bullion coins, how is the condition of the coins in blister pack? Maybe the pursuit for MS70 starts

Sold out??

Many thanks! Only the 1/4 Oz gold version seems interesting to me, maybe due to resemblance to a sov size, yellow gold and nice mintage.

Any mintage information on the different design and variants yet? There are so many types that it is becoming confusing... 😅

Nice Bhutan coin, the coat of arm is fabulous...

Thanks! 6th Feb is a Sunday, does the Royal Mint also launch new item on weekends?

My 2oz silver finally arrived after more than a week in transit! It came in with slightly opened capsule, and thankfully the coin is okay and being hold on one side of the capsule. First impression: I thought the shield would be fully frosted after seeing all the picture, but the one i see seems to give a gradiant kind of frosting which is quite nice. It has more on the edge and almost no frosting at the centre, the lions are frosted though.

If the 2022 sovereign comes with a special Platinum Jubilee edition certicard / blister pack, that might be nice.

I am looking with envy at all the pictures posted here, especially the gold version with the wonderful satiny finish. my 2oz silver is despatched on wednesday, but RoyalMail tracking still showing in transit from Cardiff MC to royal mail site for international shipment. I wonder why the transit from Cardiff MC to another royal mail site took so long since wednesday... 😅

It is for the continuity version. And now it got moved to closed order. Seems all good now

I now have an order added with extension of -1 (i.e. E-116xxxxx-1) for my continuity silver coin order, and stating only the quartered arms. Anyone see similar thing? If i see a pending charges already at my credit card, does it mean the order is confirmed?

I am still quite confused how the "Gothic Crown Quartered Arms and Portrait 2021 UK 2oz Silver Proof" works. Does this means i will automatically get a reserved QV Portrait version when it is released next year? It is quite hectic and i just added it without thinking much... 😉

Here is some mintage information, from https://agaunews.com/the-royal-mints-retrospective-of-william-wyon-continues-with-gothic-crown-the-third-great-engravers-release/ Hope i am lucky enough to get one...

Any news if it is going to be launching first the Queen Victoria or Shield design as reverse?

While waiting for the queue at RM, here are some mintage figures for the Sov and half sov... https://agaunews.com/the-royal-mint-kicks-off-its-epic-queens-platinum-jubilee-colelction-with-an-all-new-design-for-the-classic-sovereign/

Register your interest now... Although, we all know that the mail may come after everything is sold out https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-great-engravers/gothic-crown/ "The Great Engravers Collection continues with the first of two coins paying homage to the Gothic Crown, one of the most beautiful coins ever struck by The Royal Mint. Sign up below to be one of the first to hear about our upcoming release." From the info on RM webpage, it seems that they will release 2 designs separately (?)...

Wow, such wonderful result! The 1911 proof almost looked like a different coin before and after. The 1911 proof 1/2 Sov seems to have a strong frosting on the obverse.. Weird that NGC doesnt give it a cameo grade... but a PF64 Star is also great.

Had not noticed this before, what does it mean by a grained edge??

Thanks for the info. I am not 100% sure if they are exactly identical, as the SoTD is also of brilliant uncirculated. Was thinking it would be nice for my kid’s birth year 😄 The ones i have seen from seller are all opened for the pictures. i guess, it is not quite possible to grade them with the SoTD label now.😉

Hi, I am keen to look for a 2015 SOTD Sovereign (2nd May) and have it graded with NGC. Not sure if this is discussed before; how does NGC differentiate the SOTD sovereign to the normal bullion version? I have seen NGC census below with the royal birth SOTD...

100 years anniversary insulin coin...

Nice. Is it identical on both sides of the Christmas decoration / medal?

Some offerings are now out in the catalogue. For some reason, at a first glance, i thought it looks like a coronavirus privy

Not really, it was a username created out of family names combination. But i do see the Tolkien reference after the username creation 😉 Back to the topic, i could imagine different mints releasing its own version of celebration 'Sovereign' next year though...

I also prefer a single, representative sovereign design for this celebration. Leave the gimmicky ideas / varieties to the other product range
