These were put into auction to give customers another chance to buy them if they had missed out purchasing from the Royal Mint or other retailers. We often add new releases to auction to add interest and for this reason. I disagree with those who think this issue will be a flop. On the contrary! We sold out of our initial allocation and had to preorder more from other suppliers to offer them to new and regular customers. The Royal mint reduced virtually all allocations to wholesale. Which I believe left them with a larger stock base than they previously had on other releases. (Probably from complaints about flipping).  I think those who cancelled or decided to wait to purchase these coins will live to regret this decision. In our experience most changes of design are better purchased at the time of release as they rarely reduce in price and mostly increase. Whilst this Memorial Issue wasn't the anticipated Coronation issue most of us expected, I think in time will prove to be a extremely popular desirable design. Afterall, it is still THE FIRST SOVEREIGN BEARING THE NEW KING CHARLES III PORTRAIT. 
Anyone who missed the auction or the 31st December cut-off time do get in touch we have kept a few items available and will still honor the release price on some of these releases. 0800 169 1066
 

To me it is very strange that the memorial sovereigns are being auctioned when they haven’t even been released yet. That would put me off and maybe that’s why most of them didn’t sell. I am not sure that it is a reflection on the coin’s future performance.
I still believe in this release and am sticking with the orders that I have placed with the Royal Mint.
It is great that @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions do not charge the buyer commission. They deserve to do well and I will certainly be checking out their future auctions.
I hope that you have a great New Year!

Not yet received but a big thanks to Louise @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctionsfor another pair of top grades  ( I just wish NGC would take better photos ) 

Better in Gold...but Still No Walk on the Beach   As far as the Royal Mint One Pound coin designs go, the "Nations of the Crown" has to rate as staggeringly average and is soundly thrashed into a cocked hat by its predecessor, the exquisite 2016 "Last Round Pound", designed by Gregory Cameron. After six years of this incessant tedium it is impossible to fathom why the RM has not managed to update this tired and uninspired numismatic anachronism. That being said, the design does look somewhat better lend itself to bi-coloured gold that it does to a silver/gold combo. Surprisingly, an uncomfortably high number of 2,142 "collectors" deemed this coin worthy of purchase upon release, making it the second highest mintage of all gold proof decimal pounds. More fool them.    Presumably buyers were unaware that the new shape heralded a latter-day coin-clipping exercise by the RM, with the missing "corners" accounting for a 10% reduction in gold content. Which was nice.   As with my silver £1 collection, this dodecagonal usurper will be the final coin in my (currently incomplete) set.   Excellent service from Louise at @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Highly recommended.

Arrived today NGC MS63 1803 third guinea to join it's ms63 second portrait already in the collection 
Little rocket only 2 higher at 64 

Today I received this beauty back from grading courtesy of @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. My first time having anything graded so I'm very thankful to COR for such a seamless service. And naturally I'm very happy with the outcome - got to admit I would have been miffed if it hadn't come back a 70 (as snobby as that sounds!)

Sounds like you are acquiring exceptionally good taste.
I know you don't have any LCSs (Local Coin Shops) in or around Birmingham!

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name's Richard, I'm a new collector from the West Midlands - my habit started late last year: 😉
I first came to coins - and later found this forum - after an article on the back of the FT mentioned old gold coins were an option as investment (and I had a little left in the piggyback with which to diversify). Then having dabbled at an online auction but without buying, I found myself hooked by the shiny pieces of metal (gold, silver - and most recently a '53 PF64 Cameo coronation crown) and their stories / histories...
So, I am a happy amateur collector and have since starting out learned valuable lessons; being burned by some auction charges, getting sucked into a bidding war for a middling half-sov... lovely.
Hopefully it will cheer @LawrenceChard and @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions to learn I've bought from both, and I will continue to do so but am also looking forward to weighing in on the forum trading here as well.
Lastly, I'm going to wish a fair wind and full sail to all forum members as we hove into this weekend - and our winter of discontent, which, let's not forget, was "made glorious summer" in the end.
See you on the threads.
Richard 

Big thanks to @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctionsfor a set of set of kennedy half dollar, 2 x  each year.. from 1964 to 2014 with a stunning box and COA's
 

It’s very unusual to find and acquire such a nice example.
1551 Edward VI Sixpence, mm Tun
GVF- with an exceptional portrait of
the young boy king.  This issue is very often plagued with creases and worn.
This is the inaugural Sixpence issue, and I’m pleased to add such a nice example into my collection.



 

lol spent ages trying to work out COTR,One of them days haha.😂
Always good to preorder,saves the stress of that RM queue.

@GoldDiggerDave  Yes, we do pre-orders of the new Proof issues later in the year and have done for 20 years in October. Though I don't normally offer them on here - this is the first time, which hopefully isn't a negative. 😊
 

I may have the mintage wrong - I'll try and confirm this next week

If you don't want to queue - I have only 5 left for reservation at the release price of £1185 . If I haven't dealt with you before I will need to take a small deposit, as my allocation is very small on these I don't want anyone who messer's me around. PS : Also I have only 3 left of the £5 BU's which I think this is a small mintage of around 700ish. (please don't quote me on that.) £2635 Release Price.

I know it's frustrating to some people that trade get some prior allocation - but it's good that small companies get some allocation rather than just the big companies,  - and in the past I have given part of my trade discount to many.
The allocation I have is small, but I do intend to sell these to customers not trade. 

@GoldDiggerDave Neither of these issues are out. The Royal Mint have delayed the release. Most dealers get an allocation of new issues or commemoratives (we get a trade discount) within the trade. Though tbh I only normally get the Proof issues. This is the first time I have allocation of these.  I think it will be the Matte finish on the BU £5's, but I also do not have all the details for full confirmation. 
The prices I have given are Release Price

Might start using you for a few on the next launch as I don't get any prior confirmation from my RM account manager.  Is the £5 BU matt I can't find this out anywhere.
