    kimchi got a reaction from westminstrel in 95th birthday Sov.? Worth it?   
    They had problems with this one with the caps coming open in transit and scratching the coins - I sent a few back myself.
    That said I'm sure they would have minted the max and they were very highly in demand, I just happened to find a company who were a bit under the radar (even on here) with stock. I don't think that 323 figure can be right. They can't restrike a SotD but of the few I sent back some may still have been 68/69s - I was being ultra cautious, but I bet those coins were recycled.

    Also, someone from this forum got this Sovereign with a COA 632.
    So certainly more than 323 were struck?

    kimchi reacted to Rll1288 in 95th birthday Sov.? Worth it?   
    I believe that that is more their expectation then were actually sold.... Page 163 in Marsh... the RM tend to state a maximum mintage. I know with the 3G's that they do an initial run and mint more. In that case, yes, all coins were sold but in on an item they state a maximum mintage and then only sell less then that then that's it.... Struck on the day it could be that they strike what has been reserved/registered. I could be wrong but?
    Also not sure that COA's actually mean that much

    I think it depends on how it fits in with your collection.  I have ordered one, but it is because of the nature of the anniversary, the Matte finish, and plain edge on the coin which have attracted me to it.  Having said this the total mintage is quite high (1295) for a Strike on the Day coin, so it is unlikely to be a financial winner in the short run.

    kimchi got a reaction from EdwardTeach in Queens Beasts Completer 1oz gold bullion are they in stock anywhere ?   
    Did I say you were just talking about bullion? No, because obviously you weren't.
    My point remains. The bullion is quite straightforward imo. They won't do a 1/4, the design doesn't allow it. A 2oz, a 5 oz? Maybe, but the 1oz is clearly 'the one to have' for the bullion collectors of the set. I only have the Lion and Griffin so bought this coin on its own merits as nice bullion at what I consider to be a pretty reasonable premium.

    High mintage for a SOTD and yet another addition to the ever growing legion of matte finish / privy mark sovereigns.
    Doesn’t feel particularly special to me and imho doesn’t feel like a long term winner.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but with these releases i ask myself - if I was buying from the secondary market is there anything about this sovereign that would make me want to pay more than bullion for it. In this case the answers no. Matte finishes and privy marks have now firmly been done to death for me.

    Hi @SilverFlame
    I am a Brit employed by a Danish company - before Covid, I spent most of my time in Copenhagen.
    It sounds like you are after bullion - in my travels around Copenhagen, I have found the best place to be https://tavex.dk/ for bullion type coins.
    It is > 1 year since I have been to CPH and things do change.  I know it is 'obvious' but do take a look at the premiums before you go - when I went, there were some significant differences in the premiums that I found surprising. i.e. Sovs on the day I visited were not the lowest premium coin.
    Much more specialised is https://www.hafniacoins.dk I wouldn't go there unless you are into buying numismatic coins (not to start off with anyway).
    Tak

    What gold coins does Denmark mint? And what foreign coins are recognised and sell there?
    That may be a very good thing. Do you have coin shops and dealers in your country? You could be one of the first very sensible ones there!
    Not sure at all about this advice given where the OP is. Definitely, Sovereigns are one of the most internationally recognised and traded coins, but they fall behind Krugerrands. With the huge uncertainty in the world at present I would not rely on the popularity of what sells best on here, I would rather look to what can be sold from/within Denmark.
    @SilverFlame how much research have you done into this?

    kimchi got a reaction from SilverFlame in Insecure first buyer   
    Is that because they are the only ones to ship to Denmark? What about Royal Mint Bullion?
    So there are no import taxes for you? Very good!
    It sounds like you can afford one ounce Beast Completor (available at Atkinsons of London or Chards at the moment, perhaps the Mint too) and one Sov.
    As you plan to just buy and hold for a long time, but economic troubles may occur very soon, I would agree with @Touvex and say Sovs.
    1/10th coins (e.g. Britannias) carry far too high a premium unless you can find a bargain.
    Chards secondary market Sovs are sometimes very nice ones some people say (which may have a little collectable value or gain some in the future), or you may just wish to buy new ones (which won't).
    Let us know what you decide and good luck!

    New here, but love this coin release!  Just taken delivery of 5 bullion Completer's from Baird Mint.  The verso design, although 'busy' is beautiful!  Even though I only bought 5, they sent them in a 10-coin box.  I'll keep my unicorns in there too.

    Once you are in the queue you should not refresh the page or you will lose your place. If you are logged in from say 8am you have to refresh the page as you will not be put in the queue at all. Its a question of joining the queue at the right time, a time which I cannot give you because I don't know. Just to say getting up at 5am will not help you, the queue starts then you join it

    They appear to clear the site about 10mins before 9am and then rebuild a queue, so waiting from 8am say may not make any difference to your queue position, I am not entirely sure, I guess its down to luck.
    As for RM cancelling orders, yes they do sell more than they have and tend to cancel some orders, but not being a insider its hard to know exactly what happens, but I don't trust them until I have the coin in my hand.

    I settled for a 1 oz bullion completer which just came in the post today. Ugly, IMO, and not up to some of the individual coins. Each of the beasts was VERY small and we are entertained with TWO busts of our dear Lizzie....

    Chards are being straight up and honest with their descriptions, all bullion produced can be subject to contact marks, even the RM bullion in blister packs can have contact marks.   They don’t normally come with a capsule but their prices reflect this, you can add one to your basket. 
     
    Ive have a few gold coins from Chards and they are spot on, last gold from them was a 5oz proof QB completer.  
    had 10 1/2 bullion secondary market sovereigns and the quality is spot on I’m getting 2 of them graded!

    I think they are still minting the coin but they can't keep up with current demand for bullion so we'll see it coming in and out of stock with dealers for a while.  They'll be minting in batches in rotation with the other coins.  I've just ordered a second one while Atkinsons has stock.

    Royal Mint dont give out bullion mintage numbers any longer claiming commercial sensitivity.  Some early data slipped out but more recent request get blanked.  Ironically they continue to give mintage for proofs and collectables where the mintage is expected to be price sensitive.
