I think what makes this coin special is its history for me, Pistrucci didn't only engrave the 1818 crown, he got so fed up with the harderning department breaking his dies (104 to be precise), he actually ended up hardening them himself in the furnace :
"I would not have presumed to undertake
this duty if there had been a practical man at his post, and not a gentleman who was afraid of
dirtying his hands with coals, or of exposing himself for a few hours to the glowing heat of a
furnace."

I was told today 5/10 oz at the end of the month

I was only allowed to buy one of each, but that was by phone and not online.

That links in nicely with another thread the great engravers, GEO III and early GEO IV sovereigns were both the work of Benedetto Pistrucci, he did the original engraving, cut and prepaired the dies himself, he was a perfectionist. The GEO IV laureate head series 1821-1825 contains no notable error sovereigns.

This is a Large 'O' type sovereign, the '6' is misaligned which common on a lot of 1860 sovereigns.
 

We could go halves and then charge this lot to have their picture taken next to it🤣

I think there are some good points you make with your opinions regarding collectors and flipping. Being someone who does collect pistrucci st george, it will certainly be one coin to get.....hopefully the last one of the year (I keep trying to save for a new watch and have grading costs to consider for othe items). 
 
Not sure how well it will do on the secondary market, mintage might play a major factor. Though while there maybe millions especially for 1951 and mamy circulated versions finding a high quality version of any year that will grade well can be hard to find when as I do live outside the UK. The last silver versions were 2013 in proof and they had 10,000 and the £20 bunc had 100,000 mintage. I expect this might be the one and only for king Charles and certain features like raised edge lettering or how the mint tries to describe it as making an "excuse" (not sure why they thought that word meant the opposite of incuse) it certainly is a good excuse for me to buy another Pistrucci st george coin for the collection. 
Things that will cause the crash and burn for most people will be as usual overall quality control and final finish. Betting on many getting milk spots and the odd few with scratches. 
Though i do expect a sell out on release day. 

These will have 'raised edge' lettering.

And us 👍

RM have now issued embargo information so I am not allowed to say much, but the mintages are low, and release is a few weeks away yet.
