You can order the new George VII ones next week, delivery in 2094.

Don't forget that Victoria appeared with an uncrowned head on all of her young head coinage, which was from 1837 to 1887 for gold and silver coins, and from 1837 to 1894 for copper and bronze coins.
She only appeared with a crowned head from 1887 to 1901.
Also Elizabeth II had an uncrowned portrait from 1953 to 1968.

I just caught a small section of an interview with Anne Jessop, on BBC TV channel 1.
In it, Anne was explaining about the fact that Charles will a bare head on his new coins, whereas on most of her coins, Elizabeth wore a crown.
She sounded rather unconvincing, and at one point was talking about "male kings".
I wonder if she has had Woke LGBTQIA+ training, and what other types of kings there are?
😎

Whoever made the post that Charles would ditch the crown but keep the earrings, thanks for making my day.  Absolutely hilarious.
If I was the king, you best believe all coinage would have me in a crown.

Comment of the year

They will have to find a new Sovereign reverse design, as he surely won't want St George riding his wife on it...

Bury them in gardens/countryside
Just don't lose your maps

I am hoping he will choose to be King Arthur and go questing with his knights of the Poundbury table for the Holy Quail

My recent purchase of the BU £5 Sovereign was cancelled, without any comms or notification. I had ordered a Piedfort sovereign at the same time, which did arrive (complete with missing frosting).
I logged into my account a few days ago and noticed the coin was missing from both the open and closed orders sections, the Piedfort is still there.
I emailed them and just received the following response:
"After reviewing your account I see that there is no stock available, because of the amount of customers buying online, our systems were overloaded, now the stock levels have been adjusted to reflect sales the item was oversold unfortunately causing disappointment to our customers for which we apologise." That's the second time, they've screwed me out of a significantI order without comms! While we are getting somewhat used to problems in their QC section, it would appear that their stock systems may not be fully aligned with their website.
I should've followed my own advice (from the last time) and followed up the online order with a phone call - "fool me twice..."

All very true! I think one or two sensationalist news articles too many got pretty much everyone keeping anything different, just in case they were 'the next Kew Gardens'.
I think now is possibly/probably the best time to sell the ones with a premium. Except...
I think the whole set is very nice and quite special, one to keep for me

You really don't see any of the fancy 50p or £2 coins any more. Maybe 3 or 4 years ago they were relatively common, I have a few hundred quid worth with most of the available ones up till then, but I don't even bother now. Everyone is a coin collector now... 
I have actually thought about taking them all to bank/post office and cashing them in. Probably have at least a sovereign worth!
 

Crumbs.  I think the last time that I was looking seriously for these coins in change was 2016 and 2017 and although not common, almost all of the £2 coins post 1995 were findable with patience.  I think the only ones I didn't find were the Wales and Northern Ireland 2002 Commonwealth Games coins, and the 2015 Britannia definitive coin.
On the 50ps, I found all 29 Olympic coins from 2012 to 2017 and everything else I wanted to keep apart from a Kew and a Jemima Puddleduck.
Perhaps the RM will release a new series of circulating currency coins at some point which might then be easier to find and keep.  Otherwise it takes the fun out of it for younger collectors.

For some reason I'm reminded of this timeless classic -

Not really, I always check and even a 'common' coin is getting hard to find because people keep them all. 'Cointubers' like Christopher Collects are most at fault imo, he makes no apologies for having hundreds of most of them (except the obvious Kews etc, but he has a few of those). Being able to get sealed bags in bulk is a huge advantage most of us don't have. Even then the 10ps are as rare as hen's teeth.
Tenbob is a notable exception that I've seen, she always puts 'common' ones back in, and all her Jeremy Fishers go to charity.

I think you can expect at least an OBE from Charlie in the New Ears Honours

Welcome to the font of knowledge.
The vast majority of questions get answered and resolved so ask away!
Me, i just take pictures of coins so don't take any notice of my replies 😂

I've only ever found one.  V for Village.
The Q one is very apposite right now, as @pricha says.

Got some share, might be able to help you out.

^^^ I shouldn't laugh at that, but I did...

So, either I can tell the future or I killed the Queen...?

I'm pretty sure he has to go through the hat wearing bit first, not sure ma'am is going to be giving that up voluntarily. 

A stunning coin. However (and I could very well be wrong) I wouldn't myself at these prices...they have almost doubled in 3-4 years.
It depends on your pockets, but for me that bird has flown now.
