I wonder will there be a once in a lifetime historic coronation sovereign next year with limited montage of 30k?

There's a big difference in paying huge premiums over spot for proofs that may not do well long term, versus backing up the truck for bullion coins at low premiums over spot IMO.
Proof coins are very risky. I'd only consider these sets if you really love the design, rather than out of a desire to flip for profits in a few years.

I think it's a combination of factors putting people off:
1. Mintage. Almost doubled for some sets, for example 5 coin set 700 for 2022 Platinum Jubilee (much rarer event also), vs 1200 for Charles III's first sovereign. That's a huge increase...
2. Popularity of the Queen. 
3. Majority of people not being interested in what Charles III reign symbolises for the UK. It's a very different era, one where the UK has lost much of it's power, economic might, credibility and worldwide influence. India recently overtook the UK to become the 5th largest economy (by GDP). Paris just took the #1 stock market position from London. We're a complete laughing stock to the world after Liz Truss's pathetic few weeks as PM.

Or buy close to double the amount of gold via bullion coins and be potentially better prepared? 
Mintages on these proof sovereigns is very high, I don't feel Charles's sovereigns will attract anywhere near as much interest as Queen Elizabeth II, though that's just my opinion.
Giving these a big miss.

This is simply not true. The 2022 proof sovereigns sold rapidly - there was no chance of a 5 set beyond the first few minutes for example.
Mintages were lower (only 700 5 coin sets) and it was a one in a lifetime event,  Platinum Jubilee.
This release pales in comparison in terms of history, rarity and exclusivity. 

5 set, 4 set and 3 set were all gone within minutes.

No they did not. The 2022 proof was on sale for more than a day. If you want to change the rules to the 5 sov set then fair play but talking about the 1 sov. 
Also when the piedfort released nobody took interest. 
The covid sell out releases are over. We are back to reality now.

The exact same scenario as the 2022 proof. Didn't sell out rapidly. Everyone got fearful and thought I will just wait because they did not see an instant sell out. The Queen croaked it and what do you know everybody flocked to get one.
If people don't see an instant sell out they wait and when it eventually sells out they get FOMO. 
By the time the coronation comes around you will be sitting pretty with these. Every time RM have hiked price or mintage a few more question this. Those who sat on the side will pay the inflated price. IMO

Suppose we will have to wait and see, if they pull any silly moves I won't be buying them. 

Unlimited mintage just like the first lot of Charles coins 😂

As Atkinson's don't have much to do with new issues ie proofs.  It must be common bullion related and mass produced. A bit like this Mondays royal mints release. Damn 

Hey guys. Missed the launch this morning. That said, 50,000 ahead of me but the 1oz and 50p's were still available! I managed to scoop up x10 them!!
So, who wants to buy some off me? First ever King Charles coins must be like, double RRP mark up? Or very nearest offer?
Oh almost forgot, there's like 16 week expected delivery, so I can only do pre-order. But don't worry, soon as they're in hand I will dispatch via postage of your choice, risk, expense...
Don't all rush at once guys, I have enough to go around

I’ve decided I’ll get the silver proof 50p closer to December. Nice to be able to postpone making a decision about paying and not deal with FOMO.

Horrible portrait of the Queen on all the coins IMO, so big pass for me.
Will pickup a gold 50P for my collection though, closer to Christmas.

13374 fillers ahead in the queue  about to get fleeced and their fingers burnt 
 

I expect the same for the first Sovereign to feature Charles III, makes RM's life much easier and also makes them more ££.
Also means everyone who wants to celebrate and have a memento of these one in a lifetime occasions are able to, meanwhile those just seeking to profit (by buying multiple, or flipping) have to find another source for this activity.
