Found some original die images, if anyone still needs their appetite wetting.
 

Chards have  got the 3 coin set back in stock. Fair jump to £1,285 though
2022 Proof Sovereign 3 Coin Set | Chards - £1,285.00

Just received three full sovereigns from Chards. I love the design but the quality is a bit interesting...
All three coins have scratches/dent/black marks. Might difficult to see from the photos but they're very obvious.  Not sure what's going on with the RM.

Just looking at this quarter sovereign - I mean you can see the damage next to the Lions head without any magnification required
 

I  missed the initial delivery this morning  and was resigned to having to get it tomorrow from the sorting office but my neighbourhood postie came back with it just before 1pm and saved the day (hurrah!) It does look brilliant in the hand. Very impressed with it and now regretting I didn't go for a set - but it means I have something left in the bank for the Great Engravers!

When all your jokes become reality 🙈
Guess this has to go back ffs.
And yes that's genuinely how it landed.
Apparently RM likes a joke as much as me.
Coin seems fine to naked eye but capsule is chipped. 

My Goodness - that clarifies it, but that is such a surprise for me.  I expect QC of the proofs will be in much sharper focus now.  Mine has what looks like a part of a fingerprint on it and some skips in the frosting too........... this could be interesting!

A 5 set posted on the 'What  I received today' thread this morning which seems to be from RM?

Going to be busy this thread today 😂
