Maybe its because the mintage figures.  IMO they are a hold coin.  Give them 5- 10 years then they will be ok.  

SO does that mean they get 2 releases

Same looking to add to my Gold collection. 

Just a thought, IMO Anyone who wants to hold for a few years then sell the lower the numbers sold the better.

Does anyone think that the 1/2 sovereign may be near the top end of the price range

Things have changed in England a lot over recent decades. i remember going into HFC bank with my wife to withdraw some money or maybe it was deposit cash. This would have been in the late 1980's or very early 1990's. We had to provide ID. Neither of us had ever been asked for this before. It was some BS about money laundering - the terrorism stunt hadn't come in yet. A few years later we saw the terrorism canard. i have asked more than once, do i look like a terrorist? (It would seem some of the content i post online has classified me as a terrorist in some parts of the world - according to the real terrorists and assorted criminals).

It seems that as more and more shysters appear in our land, more and more fraud is taking place, so businesses are obliged to disbelieve their customers. 
i mean take RM, i could claim i sent proof coins when they were bullion, i could claim anything and plenty of people will have done so. They see it as an opportunity to inflate their claims - the world is full of chancers. 

If you send valuables by RM, as i mentioned on an ebay thread, i think you have to video it all. To show what went into the package, to show the package, to show the address label. Video the package being handed over at the post office - showing it is the same package. Describe on video what you are putting into the package and the value. 

i went to this website to create a legal Bill of Sale. https://www.lawdepot.co.uk/contracts/bill-of-sale/?webuser_data_id=150432302
It is a legal document in England and Wales. You can put all the details into the document as you follow the steps. How many members would want to do this is debatable. You could show this Bill of Sale document as you packed the sale item - i am sending the 20 x 1 oz silver Britiannias to Jack Jones - here is his name and address on the package label - this is the price. This is the bank transfer online / paypal payment - you can fake a pdf bank statement but not a real time video of the computer screen. Maybe you even show your passport (photo ID) and then turn the camera on yourself to prove it is you, John Smith.
This is all way OTT and 99% of the time with sales to TSF members it won't be needed - it might be needed more often with ebay scammers who claim you never sent the item advertised. What more could we do for those unfortunate incidences?

This is a good idea

Their mintage numbers are lower this time as well, is it a sign that it isn't popular?

As the Gold price has gone up people have just gone for the Sovereign.  In any case the Piedfort is nice when you hold them but who in the right mind would hold a proof coin.

I just want the Sovereign and the 1/2 Sovereign

Its king Charles birthday today he's 74. You'd have thought they might have released the sovereigns today?

I was thinking that myself.  Though to be fair the RM they are trying to be more fair these days and i suspect they are getting the staff ready.

The Sovereign is the Flagship at the RM.   IMO The RM have made an excellent job of the Effigy of the Kings head.  

The £5BU only gets struck twice not 10 times as the proof does.  There is a short film on the RM site about it. 

I like the BU coins but imo they are not worth the same as the proof and i do not think the £5BU is a good investment.  If you are buying because you like it then good but you may lose money on the BU coin.

We don't have a "Sales Team". The nearest we have is a "Customer Service Team".

We have never done hard selling, and simply worked on trying to give good advice, and helping potential customers find what they want.

The margin on the last few was indeed quite good, but hardly a profitable way to run a business, taking 13 years to sell.

😎

We have all done that in our said fields

Got me thinking now am i on some type of list 🤔

I had to show proof of id driving License or Pass Port, and a mug shot.  I rang them up and they said its because i have now spent over £1000.  I have to say I have had accounts with most UK bullion dealers for many years and they have never asked me for id apart from Hatton gardenmetals.  Oh yeah Chards when picking up coins.  My Tavex order is by mail and is only my standard small order 2 sovs. 

Tavex, I have only made small purchases from them but now they want verification because it gone over £1000 has anyone else had this?

Well i got through then the site went down as i was going to buy.

I'll try it later

Just rang them up.  A very helpful woman on the phone said 'they are making their way through the lots'.  She went onto say 'last week there was a postal strike and they are behind'. 

This makes sense to me. 

Hi did anyone else buy from London coin Auction September auction.   I have i paid last monday and still haven't been sent my coins.  Is this normal for them? 

I

Yes more  sovereigns will be sold……this my it’s very nature makes them more sought after not less sought after, this is supply and demand 101. 

 

 

Are the RM stopping minting the Bullion Sovereign 2022

Am i the only one who thinks that the sad loss of the Queen means that more Sovereigns will be sold!   Hence the less sort after. 

Myself,  I would try to sell on the forum.   Look on the buy sell section you will see lots of adds where the seller has postage at buyers choice eg they pay for full insurance or they take the chance of losing the coin.  Also put a date when items will be sent out that way you will be in control when you go to the Post Office. 

Ask @Paul he has sold big amounts quickly before.

The delivery method shouldn't matter. If it goes missing, it's their problem, not yours!

I've bought several items from them, some with what I would class as high value and they have always been delivered no issue.

I ordered a full sovereign and 1/10th gold coin from tavex last week and they arrived next day by Special Delivery. They also put the coins into a kind of Tavex branded presentation case which I wasn't expecting nor did I pay any extra for. Good service TBF.

Delivery has been fine. If you ask on their website chat pop up they usually answer anything rapidly. I imagine they have a 3rd party insurance for their items but asking will give you exact answer 👍🏼

Actually they came a day late now I remember. They missed the cut off at post office by 5 mins, items were received at post office at 5:05pm so they came on the 2nd day rather than next day.

Like @paulmerton says , until you receive what you paid for..the risk is on them,so they obviously have the items insured whether tracked or not.

They always send Special Delivery and it is tracked. I’ve used them over a dozen times and never an issue. The problem at the moment is with Post Office staffing/proposed strikes and delays thereafter. 

Thanks Guy s👍

Thanks

I was going to buy from Tavex only to be stopped at the postage step.  There does not seem to be a special dleivery option only tracked.  Has anyone been sent items tracked and had problems or is there a way to alter delivery to special delivery.
