In 2018 a SOTD sovereign was £495   About a weeks okay-ish wage.  The next one in 2024 will be very easily in the £800 territory.

Last year's was already £850.

Some things do seem a bit sluggish at the moment, but I'm hopeful that it is literally just paused and the rest of the coins will eventually come out.

Remember the City Views series? The last coin we saw in that series was released in 2022 believe it or not, so quite a few people have been speculating that it's been cancelled, but the next coin is actually coming out soon.

City Views is alive and well for anyone who was concerned about that. Paris is coming soon.

Quite a wait, but the Paris coin is coming soon.

Paris coming soon.

If it is based on this design, you would have thought the RM would have released it on 18th June 2025  - i.e. 210th Anniversary, rather than the 208 years 10 months and one week Anniversary!

That's when the 5ozers will be delivered.

The next Great Engravers coin will be the Waterloo medal.

Which will presumably be a coin.

Which will be interesting!

The 1oz bullion gold standard is still available for anyone who missed that. Again, I'm pretty sure there has never been a public release of this design in this size any year before (apart from a proof).

I just spotted your post and impulsively went for it - mainly because I own a 1/4 and really like the design so it'll be nice to have a bigger version. Not sure if I ordered the last one but just wanted to say thanks for the heads up.. 👍

Also, only just spotted after the fact that there's a working voucher code for free delivery so I could have saved myself 9 quid! Ah well. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it but feel free to PM me if anyone else is making a purchase.

Their free delivery codes aren't affiliate things, so they're fine to post.

1/2oz RM Gold Standard bullion.

Never released to the public afaik, so these will be the only 6 coins around for a while.

All gone now. Congrats to the 6 people in the world who own this coin

From what I can see, only 1/4 and 1 oz pieces seems to have been minted.... unless someone has a better knowledge

Only the 1/4oz bullion has been sold to the public before. The only 1oz was a proof.

To be fair that's a reasonable price for an unreleased half ounce

Very. You can tell who the numismatic philistines are 🤣

Ah, behold! this resplendent emblem of opulence that you have presented before us

Aa veritable monument to the inexorable fusion of extravagance & success.  In its form, we perceive the embodiment of fiscal aspiration, a gilded testament to the eternal pursuit of pecuniary supremacy.

Like Midas' touch unchained from restraint, it gleams with a luminosity that challenges the very sun itself to a contest of radiance.

Each facet, a gleaming syllable in the epic saga of fiscal folly, tells a tale of riches amassed and fortunes won, perhaps even lost amidst the tempests of indulgence.

Truly, it is a relic of our times—a paradoxical marriage of wealth and whimsy, a sartorial symphony that crescendos in the exclamation point of a £pound sign, a punctuation mark to signal to the world: "Behold, for I have arrived... and I brought bling!"

In its presence, one cannot help but ponder the mysteries of existence, for what enigma could be more confounding than the confluence of taste and ostentation, the intersection of elegance and excess? It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in a shimmering cloak of gold.

So let us raise our monocles to this object d'art, this pièce de résistance of the nouveau riche, and marvel at its brazen magnificence. 

Hello ChatGPT.

Humble works both ways, remember that. 😉 traffic goes in both direction, If you can speak your mind, I can not It sounds a bit unfair,🤷‍♂️

So me correcting a TSF member saying you did not add £5.00 delivery on the Tavex bars. Correcting his misinterpretation is not being humble; if it is a fact, black and white with delivery end customer price is Pamp £81.27-Valcambi £78.95. and my price is £75.26, including delivery. Can you explain what is wrong with that?

I just want to clarify this: if I have factual proof, I can't speak it out. Is that what you're saying? 

The TSF member said those bars were cheaper, they were not misguiding other members, and I am helping them out by giving the facts. 

The crucial difference with this two-way traffic argument is that you're trying to sell things and "they" are potentially your customers, and this is surely not how to win them.

This one is incredible.

The coin within the 9k mount is presumably 22k.

Is this what "Doing a Ratner" looking like?
