Individual opinions matter not at this stage and only time will tell whether this design is a flop or not. I personally think its the best design I've seen so far and am quite happy to spend some of my savings on 5 coin set.

I'd be dead so I wouldn't care 😂 in all seriousness, I've got that covered. I wrote the locations in my will, along with a list of what each item is, its value at time of purchase and some advice re where to sell them if that's what they wanted to do. 

Just tell the other half not to let the solicitor in when you’ve gone🫢😮

My costly mistake was reading the 3 graces thread and seeing how the initial investments of buyers resulted in big profits. Cue some Googling and I couldn't believe my 'luck' finding a 3 coin set for £1500, all graded PF70 by First Strike (who?).

I only looked into them more when they arrived and I obviously found that no one was overly impressed at my 'non RM' purchase. I've tried to flog them a few times to get my money back, but to no avail. I keep telling myself they might make me a return one day, but the lesson learned was to stick to RM sovs as a safer bet.

I'm not taking the plunge today for it - but think i will buy wait for a graded MS70 £5 BU to arrive on the market in Spring 2023 
If history repeats like this year, should be able to get one for £3000-£3200
It will pair nicely with the 2022 £5 BU 
Fingers crossed it is a matt finish again  

Bit of a rollercoaster ride for me, but got there in the end.
Initially among the first 500 in the queue ...

But, then the cart wouldn't load and shortly after, the whole website froze  ...

Eventually gave up on the website and called them up instead.
Waited on hold for an hour ...

About to give up on the whole idea, when somebody finally answered ...

Able to order the 3-coin proof set over the phone ...

Then, headed over to the Chards website to order the full Proof Sovereign without the drama.

 

I’ve had it where I’ve used a few different browsers and they all sync to the same queue number, so that’s why I think there’s something in the I.P address. …….thing is mate when you get in it’s not over as the payment system is garbage. 

I personally think there is something in the background that can either help or hinder. The queue system must be built on some kind of process. Zeus mentioned load balancing, which I don't necessarily disagree with. I just found it odd that I was sub 1000 from my phone even though it was connected to the same WiFi as the main computer and running a chrome browser. 
 
Either way, it matters not. It'll be the same next year for the other releases. 

Yeah you are right about the mintage of the £5 proof as it is only available in the 5-coin set.
But the mintages of the other coins are higher than the LEPs as they feature in multiple sets and some are sold individually. 
With ann additional 10 (approx.) of each denomination most of which won’t be sold, or sold as part of the Trial of the Pyx range, as has become the norm. 🙂

Interesting on the queue numbers again this morning. I had 3 browser windows open from 6am and opened my phone at approx 8.30am. At 9am all required a manual refresh and the numbers were fairly similar apart from the phone (!)
Edge 3046
Firefox 3456
Chrome 2406
Phone (Chrome) 952
still none the wiser about how it all works

It took 18 minutes to sell out on 5 & 4 Coin sets 😮 

Got a 5 coin set ordered - my first ever 😎  Fingers crossed it gets fulfilled 

4 coin set oos
