I believe mintage will be less than petition crown on the gold 2oz.

do people think this one will be a success or a flop?

i am inclined to believe that if mintages are low (250ish), this can do very well, even better than gothic crowns.

The drawing is so beautiful but the design on the bar is horrible. The face of Una is like a bodybuilder on steroids and the Lion seems like missing its lower jaw.. similar with the bad face they gave to proof Britannias in 2023.. i hope they fix this and make it as the drawing..

Beautiful design, maybe Jody Clark?

I like the design a lot.

Anyone knows the mintages for both silver and gold?

I like the design. Any word on silver and gold mintages?

I love this set, i ve also ordered a silver one. £400 for 2x PF70 silver 1oz coins with soecial signed label is a steal in my opinion (considering how hard is to buy a raw silver and grade it as a 70)! 
Memorial coin is average but the coronation coin is and will be very hot!

Any leaked designs anyone ? 🙂🤔

I hope they do something nice.

city views new coins.

Maybe Great Britain as the Lion and USA as the Eagle?

Less than 30 sat on NGC's books currently - so the missing 185 have not been pre-graded and sold off

144 have already been graded with 131 already achieving pf 70 mate

I did find it curious that the states mintage of the 2oz silver proof is 1,000.

Typically, the reverse proofs have had a smaller mintage than the regular proofs.

The 1oz gold proof was 300 so it makes sense the 1oz gold reverse proof is 200.

The 2oz silver proof was 1,000 and I’d have expected the reverse to have a smaller mintage.

the 1oz proof gold mintage is 685 mate

Got a graded and a RM boxed ones coining! 🤗

Hi mate , i am interested in buying a grade pf70 if you still have one.

Any one got a update on the 1/4 ounce coin ? 

has any one received one ? 

Mintage 20,000.

Nothing too special in my opinion, i would rather buy the 1 oz gold which in my opinion will be the winner (together with the 1oz gold Britannia with crowned portrait).

The time line,  we had the Queen's platinum jubilee for the longest reigning monarch .  Fact none of us or even your great grandchildren children are highly unlikely to ever see a British monarch reign longer than QEII.  

The memorial sovereign is fitting tribute and a stunner of a design, it's one or if not the best looking reverse on a proof sovereign, and has the first portrait of a new monarch. Any collector will always want to have the first of a new monarch in their collection....if they can afford it in the future.   

The coronation sovereign,  is simply completes  holy trinity of these 3 sets, back to the George and the dragon and we have a coronation crowned portrait (I don't recall any other crowned coronation portrait on a modern sovereign)          

There has been no other time in history sovereign collectors have had this run of Jubilee, memorial and coronation, some collectors would have done a deal with the devil to be alive in this period of time, and not forgetting these sets are far more affordable and attainable for us the masses than recent ones  of 1911, 1937, etc  no way were were normal working people able to afford long sovereign sets.    Here we are able to afford them with a few months wages at a far lower mintage than pervious generations who could not in their wildest dreams be able to afford them ever.   

If you don't want one or can't afford them thats no crime no one will hold that against you.    If you are a collector have the funds or can budget a few months wages to have a set of these then why not, what else are you going to spend your money on?.......I bet we have all paid more for gym membership that we never used over the years then the price of a 5 set. 

 

 

 

Well said.

Goodbye mem sov. You looked like your designer stuck himself in a trebuchet and aimed himself at a wall while his minions traced around what was left.

What?

Just received my two 2oz sets, the presentation is beautifully put together, however seems to be a issue with one of the quartered arms,

I have the special edition spiral lettering and it cost the same for the privilege, I must admit it is central about half way round so that's a bonus. 

The other is the same coin with the finning that has been discussed, however this is exactly opposite the joint,

so it would seem this issue is with the ring not been properly seated. 

The other quarter shows the same with regards to finning however to a lesser degree , however has a small dent.

Both the Effigies are perfect.

I also noticed that the orientation of the lettering, on each is different, with the start of the lettering at different points around  both Effigy and Quartered. 

               

Hi mate. You wrote “I have the special edition spiral lettering and it cost the same for the privilege”, if i am reading this right it means there is a special edition to the coin? I am only aware of the coins that were shown on the RM website..

Proof Britannias 2023 are released today. What so you think of the design? Are you buying anything? 
i do not like the design so much this year. It is a nice idea but poorly executed in my opinion.

I may have missed something here. Is there going to be a new proof special reverse sovereign?

Yes, coronation sovereign. No more info are known at the moment, except that it should be out before 5th May..

In my opinion, Royal Mint killed this series with GC. Two coins sets with Large mintage and then plain edge variant… heavy price increases on top of all that.

Even with v.low mintages, again a two set which will be around £11k, i can not see why someone will buy this (unless multimillionaire collector who buys everything).

i’d rather save my money for the new proof special reverse sovereign and perhaps the coronation set.

I don't see it being the petition crown. 

It is the petition crown mate. What else would it be if not?

I think it’s time to start this thread.

rumours has it that another special reverse is coming out for 2023 coronation sovereign..
