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

Found some original die images, if anyone still needs their appetite wetting.
 

I just got confirmation from a source that these are to be released on December 7.
Seems like an odd day but it’s getting close. 🥵

2002 UK Full Sovereign - £500
Fair price and may have renewed interest with current hype over 2022 variant release 

Not posting pictures yet as I don't really have the time or lighting but I can say one thing, I'm very happy that I went with Chards and not the mint. Very high quality. 
Thank you @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer for the great customer service. 

Ok folks my coin sets and single sov arrived this morning (still awaiting the print).

They are absolutely stunning coins.
Unfortunately, when I opened one of the three coin sets, the quarter sov was out of its capsule. I have looked at it under x10 magnification and it looks fine, though RM will certainly be getting this feedback.
I thought that it was pretty cool that the three coin sets I got are COA 31 and 32. Imagine if the print was number 31 or 32, that would be pretty cool.
Am in a pickle as I was planning on selling one of the sets but now I feel like I may keep everything! 

You know, the more I look at this coin design the more I love it.
It really is so very elegant and special.
I'm an investor in collectables....this will be a hard one to let go one day.

And then there were 5. The quintuple is a stunner, the pic doesn’t do it justice. Will get these graded and into my long term collection. I have a few Ghanaian coins on the way from a couple of auctions but apart from that its pencils down for gold for a while (well, until the SOTD 😏)

Arrived today- thanks to @Allgoldcoins for the fantastic service and packing out the coins to ensure they got to me in tip top condition 👍 

The 5 Coin Set Looks fabulous alongside its 4 coin smaller brother, and that 5 Pound is sublime 🤩 

I do hope you all receive your orders eventually, because this coin in hand is amazing!
Received my 5 coin set yesterday and have had a good look and very happy, seems to me to be about as perfect as you can expect.
The Quintuple Sovereign is something special!!
I am no expert, but surely no coin is absolutely perfect. I look at a coin with the naked eye, then with a loupe 5x maginfication. If there are no discernable marks, scratches etc.. the coin will have a good chance of getting a PF or PR 70,if grading is your thing. Personally I do not have any coins graded.
Anyhow, I feel very lucky to have this set.
It will be worth the wait!

I heard that a well-known dealer had an important delivery earlier today.
Wonder what it can be? 😎

GRUMPY DAVE AT IT AGAIN COINSTERS

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3922613
For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “· ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 500 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year, and for the reverse a portrait of Henry VII with the inscription “HENRIC VII DI GRA REX AGL Z”. The coin shall have a grained edge.’

So this seems to be based on the first Sovereign of 1489.  This was what the Henry VII Sovereign of 1489 looked like.

 
Of course the 1989 Sovereign was based on this “enthroned portrait” too, but it depicted QE II on the throne.
I wonder if this means the Royal Mint will be bringing back an entire series of coins based on the old Sovereigns, Angels, Nobles etc. That would be a terrific series to collect and could very well rival the Great Engravers series.

Got a response from the RM CEO's PA today so a relatively quick acknowledgement. I will see what unfolds as my 1 OZs are turning up tomorrow (3rd time lucky?)
