REILsilver got a reaction from westminstrel in 2023 proof sovereigns
I agree, Especially when you involve grading and you are seeing the ms70s fetching the same price as the pf70s

What are your thoughts on the Royal Mint releasing bullion versions of the Jubilee, Memorial and Coronation Sovereigns?
Personally, I’m conflicted. While it’s nice that there are more affordable alternatives to the Proofs, they also make the entire range less special in a way.

REILsilver reacted to TheShinyStuff in 2023 proof sovereigns
I agree on both points.
But 'The Original Makers' play on a millennia of history and would have you believe they are special or even unique. Maybe in the past, but no more. They are nothing more than a poorly run outfit churning out as much as they can as quickly as they can with no care other than profit. Nowhere is this better seen than in the quality of product that they deem acceptable. In anything other than a monopoly they would have sunk long ago.
Recent events have been something of a bonanza for the Royal Mint and of course they are going to mark them. The sheer volume of coins they have produced somewhat dilutes any notion of being special in my opinion. I don't dispute that many will be winners, especially the sovereigns, but given that pretty much any Royal silver crown of the last 50 years can be picked up for 20 quid or less says to me that the current batch will fare no better.
I also accept @Allgoldcoins point about historic sets and their value, but none of them were sent off to NGC, conserved and slabbed as PF70. The proportion of the current sovereigns etc that will remain pristine makes that comparison slightly irrelevant I think.
For all that, I do appreciate the significance of the times we are in, and I have previously spoken positively about the recent sovereigns and their potential. I have bought the Jubilee, the Memorial and the SotD, and may well get the Coronation sovereign at some point in the future. This was a significant outlay for me, so obviously I think they were worth it.
Finally I think the RMs pricing is a smidge on the greedy side as well, particularly in the context of the volume they have produced.
The end!😀

@TheShinyStuff Share more thoughts! That post was both educational and amusing but also too short for my liking. (I agree with all your points!) 🙂

If I hadn't already emptied my pockets I would have had a deal on all, but alas I cannot at the moment. If you change your mind on the half let me know. GLWS 🤞

I didn't want to miss a bargain, however. I think I may follow suit. TSF has already drained my accounts enough at the moment.

I want the half to continue my run but I am going to wait, you can pick the memorial halfs up around £340 now!. Bit of a risk I know.

When I used to do work in elderly woman property, I would always refuse any peanuts that she offered from a bowl as original they started off as chocolate covered peanuts.
