    I believe so (that it will be the only sovereign anyway) looking at the landing page on the RM website:

    If I recall correctly they said that it would be saved for 'very special occasions', so unlikely. Then again, TRM use the phrase 'special' very loosely so take that as you will.

    BOOLIAN reacted to Spyder in 2000 Gold Proof 3 Coin Sovereign Set   
    Hello 
    For sale is this excellent condition gold proof set with a Half, Full and Double Sovereign. With conservation this is a good set to get graded, if one wanted. 
    Will consider a swap with 4 bullion sovereign with at least one being a 2002, 2005 or 2012. Or a 1oz gold coin from well known Government mints.
    Before someone asks, yes 3 and half sovereign for 4 or 1 oz. Proof will always hold their premium while bullion moves with spot price.
    £1560 Posted 
    Will also consider breaking up the set and selling each coin individually. Only if two are sold will I break up the set.
    Half £250 Posted

    I didn't go in the end - figured it was probably more effort than it was worth. Those that went: thank you for letting us know your thoughts! What a shame.

    First graded SOTD I have seen. Don’t really get the need for first release bit on this coin as they’re all struck on the same day by design.

    Well the new sovereigns will be proof finish so they won't clash, but I have heard there is going to be a 75th Birthday SOTD sovereign for Charles in November. My guess is that it will look the almost the same but with the non-crowned Charles, otherwise you won't know the difference if it another matt proof.

    I went and home now, there wasn’t that many bargains to be had you really have to get in a dig around, for example there was different sellers selling Panama balboas, one had them for £40 and another had one for £25 which I got for £22, just shows how off some sellers were with pricing

    For the sake of the example, let's say the extension time they specify is 3 hours. If the auction end timer counts down to 5 minutes left, and somebody places a bid, then it extends the auction by 3 hours. They might have a cap of (once again, let's say for the sake of the example) 3 hours for this, so if that is the case then whenever a new user places a bid... it goes back to 3 hours. This continues until no new bides are placed, and therefore the timer runs out.
    That's how I understand it & have seen it work in other auctions.

    Looks like they're gearing up for the Coronation Sovereign now. Should be more news in the next week or so I hear, though I'm unclear if that's just Proof or if it will include the bullion version.

    It really is worth emphasising that the word/name 'Sovereign' is not trademarked. Anyone can create a coin and call it a Sovereign - whether that is in the UK or elsewhere. The only Sovereigns worth paying any attention to are the ones released by the Royal Mint.

    You sound a similar age to me, my little life story may help or guide.
    ........... I've posted my little how I got into gold story in prior years, but it seems relevant to this thread today. Here's it again 
     

         
     

        I'm 45 now and through my twenties, i guess I must have staked and wasted around £75k-£100k at a rough guess through bookies, FOBTs, online poker and land based casinos.
        
        
        
        Some good days but it all quickly went back as losings in the end.
        
        
        
        I went cold turkey at 30-31 and managed a few months until i relapsed again.
        
        
        
        Told myself never again.
        
        
        
        It was this time I found about gold, since 2008-2009 I have bought investment gold every month, a gold sovereign here, a half sovereign there, 1/2 oz on a good month, a full oz of fine gold when bonus from work.
        
        
        
        What this did was separate actual cash i could gamble and move it into another tangible thing with value that i couldn't easily spunk away or spend.
        
        
        
        Slowly but surely, my gold stack has grown, every month, as i would buy a another gold coin every fortnight or so.
        
        
        
        The ancient Aztecs called Gold 'the sweat of the sun'
        
        
        
        Blood, sweat, tears and toil getting it out of the ground.
        
        
        
        YOUR blood sweat and tears represents how hard you have worked to get this coin you now hold, and continue to hold ongoing.
        
        
        
        Your pile of gold increases monthly.
        
        
        
        Gold is also a little bit of a gamble, it will never go to zero, it has been money for 5,000+ years, and can also go up in value
        
        
        
        Currently im now VERY nicely up in £ terms if i chose to cash in and take some profits.
        
        
        
        A quote stuck with me quite prophetically, as i've never believed in loans or credit cards.
        
        
        
        “Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants – but debt is the money of slaves.” ― Norm Franz, Money & Wealth in the New Millennium: A Prophetic Guide to the New World Economic Order
        
        
        
        The bigger my gold stack grows the more satisfied I become and want more. A positive kind of addiction.
        
        
        
        I have not yet cashed in one single coin for gambling and my investment pile has grew.
        
        
        
        I have cashed gold in here on the forum and realized better than dealer prices to increase my business and expand/buy new vans/staff/tech
        
        
        
        This degree of separation that takes place between the gold coin and actual cash i can spunk gambling is awesome.
        
        
        
        Yet i know at a glance my total gold grams i have on any given day, and know how much it is worth should i cash in.
        
        
        
        When money is in a bank AC it is just like figures on a screen to me, cash in my hand just gambling token/betting voucher credits.
        
        
        
        I could never hold onto money while it was in a bank account, savings account would be were there for good intention but the money came out for gambling.
        
        
        
        Gold doesn't do that for me, the degree of separation between between the time and effort it takes to cash in a gold coin, packing posting, sending, waiting for bank transfer for payment etc. is a few days minimum.
        
        
        
        By which times my urge to gamble has long since past.
        
        
        
        whilst i will always have that gamble bug inside me, i cant extinguish that flame as i like to to take risks, i'm self employed and risk = reward. and i have done well working over the years.
        
        
        
        I still have my monthly little gamble, but as my priority with my spare cash is always to buy a minimum amount of gold, i'm never exposed to loose mega money EVER, fact these days, as the money isn't there because it has been converted from one asset class cash into another asset gold.
        
        
        
        The small amount i assign myself to have a gamble is minimal, £100 or £200 for a month. should i win, i actually treat myself to some more gold coins for my stack.
        
        
        
        With doing this approach and putting what used to be gambling stake money cash into gold, i've got my good nest egg of gold if i cashed it in from my safe deposit box.
        
        
        
        I purposely store the gold in a safety deposit centre in a city that is hours drive/train ride away to resist the sudden urge to gamble/cash in.
        
        
        
        A financial advisor would tell you it is stupid and daft to put all your eggs in one basket with one asset/investments, but to a gambler?
        
        
        
        would i sooner have this,  lots of gold is much better than having nothing at all, **** all to show for it - so it works for me
        
        
        
        Knowing this fall back of savings is there for any of lifes eventualities makes me sleep wonderfully at night.
        
        
        
        This approach may not be for everyone but if you can never hold onto money it has worked wonders for me.
        
        
        
        Sorry for the rambles length here today but to those nodding their head to this and this life course maybe sounds a familiar path to yours, if my narrative resonates with you, give gold a try. please try it, you might just like it, or start just buying gold with your big wins.
