Silver Matte Proof Gothic Crowns. I tried my luck, cause i never had almost white coins. They look amazing in hand. 

2022 Perth Mint Lunar Tiger 1oz AU & AG.
Now in my hands, I prefer the AU design !

I have bought some to sell and some to keep, don't believe in taking the p or ramping up the price more than I need to.  The timing of the gothic could be playing a part and I can see a spike in demand for the 2022 sovereign after the gothic has been launched and people have made some fast money and will buying up any 2022 sov's  that are left on the market at a decent price.  I have bought a good few 2022 sov's  but had to keep most of my cash in reserve for the gothic.  Will be gutting if I don't get what I want but I don't think we will be short of new coins in 2022.  

Still Awaiting Royal Mint Press Release
I contacted a reliable member of the numismatic press, who enquired via the RM Press Office, and he confirmed that the 4th January 2022 release date is correct, also that the bullion version will be the same Royal Coat of Arms design as the 2022 proof version.
There is still no appearance on the Press Releases page of the RM website, so perhaps they are intending to issue a formal Press Release in late December 2021, or early January 2022.
 

I think @TheShinyStuff has covered the answer to this question:
 
 
 
I think Leon, you are well aware of the price premiums achieved of the previous 5 Special Reverse Modern Sovereigns- a reminder of them- 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012 & 2017- I've lost touch with exact current prices achieved but from memory of the last sales I have seen here, auctions & retail dealer sales, they go as follows- (lowest price Raw examples, highest graded 70):
1989:  £1100- £2k
2002: £600- £750
2005: £600- £750
2012: £950-  £1200. (remarkably (and likely an outlier) one achieved £2300 yesterday at the CC Auction it was PCGS PR 70 DCAM First Strike) 
2017: £895- £1150
 
Is there any evidence to say that the 2022 Sovereign won't be as good a long term hold?  Or that people don't have confidence in holding them?  It was the fastest sell out of any year date proof Special Reverse Sovereign and the mintage is on a par (or less) than any of the previous Special Reverses- and 98 Pages of chat in this very thread tells quite a story.  
 
Here's some more evidence that the 2022 will perhaps, do ok long term:
 
I did this exercise on the 20/11/2021 and repeated it just now.
Using the search term '2022 Sovereign' on eBay on Monday 29/11/2021:
 
The amount of 2022 Sovereigns for sale (all denominations and sets) is currently surprisingly few, given the amount of coins/ sets issued- there's currently only 41 sales posts using the search term described above.
 
In terms of sales- using the same search terms, here's the action so far- surprisingly few sales at 55.  Figures not quite accurate as some sales include 'best offer accepted':
 
5 Coin set- 5 Sales ranging between £5795 through £6995- Average sale price- £6348
4 Coin Set- 2 Sales ranging between £3250 through £3750- Average sale price- £3500
3 Coin set- 7 Sales ranging between £1195 through £1650- Average sale price- £1391
Sovereign- 27 Sales ranging between £699 through £885- Average sale price- £762
Half Sovereign-  13 Sales ranging between £375 through £486- Average sale price- £416
Sovereign/ Half Sovereign combo- 1 Sale at £1300
 
The Opportunity takers still don't appear to be out force.

My source has dropped a hint (like a wink wink) that the first coin is the “arms”.
