My account manger told me that my orders would be ready for dispatching on the 25th of march (2oz and 5oz). Fingers crossed

I have sold my last 2oz Gold version, so I am out of the game, like many I much prefer the originals.

I have no idea what these will settle at price wise, so for a bit of fun, I am going to ask you to guess what the final price wil be for this one on ebay :

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204660898296

I think it will be 9k?

Only one 5oz sold on Ebay at a best offer (sold at 700£, I asked to the seller )

I ordered the 2oz and 5 oz silver only. I don't know if this will be a winner or a flop but this gamble was reasonnable for me and the 5 oz will be probably stunning in hand (hopefully the RM has solved the technical issues of the Petition Crown 

I skipped the last PC gold and this one too,  but I reconfort myself being the happy owner of the whole W.Wyon GE series in 2oz gold   

Hello, I have this Quintuple  Platinum Jubilee for sale with Box&COA . PM me if interested 

Krugerrands can be collectible coins.

In 1980, when the SAM launched the fractional Krugerand, they released for this occasion a special "VIP" set of fractional proof coins (1/10th, 1/4 and 1/2oz in proof ) with a tiny mintage of only 60 coins for each size, 

I have been lucky to get  the 1/10 and even 2 * 1/4oz fractional gold proof for a  reasonable price and I am still hunting  the 1/2oz proof.

I am curious to know what would be the market price of such set.  I don't have a recent price for the whole set, the last auction price was 9775$ I have is from an Heritage Auction in 2007 (spot around 700$)

Anyone know the Mintage? 

high

I do agree that these mintages mean the Coronation Sovereigns, like the Memorials, will also not be going up in value any time in the near to medium term.

With all these releases in the last 9 months (Jubilee range, Jubilee Sovereign , Pattern, SOTDs, Memorial, £5, Piedfort,  Coronation Range, Coronation Sovereigns...) , this is like an endless race with FOMO and wallets are really put to the test and leads (at least for me) to some collector fatigue. 

Difficult choices today between enjoying life, taking some rest  with its little pleasures and  greed that pushes us to buy these highly priced coins  with FOMO which will finally go in a safety box for years 🙄 

The high mintages won't help in the short term. But the Coronation Sovereign will certainly be History and really sought after in the years to come... (as the 1989s) 

But I probably need to take some breath ! 

Is it a shared feeling ?

Any ideas of the release date?

Unfortunately no, my guess is maybe in the first two weeks of june

An auctioned  PGCS PR70 Sovereign 1989 has been sold yesterday (Coin Cabinet) for £2400, and a NGC PF69 for £1550, add the 6% + VAT  fees on top of these prices

SOTD has arrived - mark on centre right of portrait side  FFS

Visible to the naked eye clearly without magnification 

QC sticker inside as checked 

 

My first issue with RM for quality ive been lucky thus far until now. 

What do folk think?  shall i return or keep?

Surely a "strike on the day" cant be restruck for a replacement on another day ?

 

Would i just get a refund ???? and lose the chance of this coin - thanks 

I 'd keep it Paul...it seems that this SOTD will not be replaced if you return it, so at these market price levels, your coin is way more valuable than £850 RRP....  

I understand your frustration, but this is still a beautiful coin, even with this small flaw, and I imagine a lot of collectors who missed it and who would be  happy to get yours.

Out of interest what would you consider 'the moon' to be?

£2,000?

£20,000?

£2,000,000,000?

The question is not how high gold can go, but how low the money can go...I would say the value of a paper sheet,...and I think that toilet paper would even be more expensive and useful in that case

I do see it a lot with silver stackers, we seam to get some almost wishing for armageddon a collapse of the economic system.  Will your stack save you.....really?  

You lose your job, you or your landlord  defaults on the mortgage and you are turfed out , basic services collapse..........  how much would your stack have to be really worth to get you though this?  And that's if  whats left of the economic system will allow you to liquidate it.....Think about that for a moment, you get what you wish for an economic collapse and there is no system for you to liquidate your PM's as the very same system you hope will fail is the only system that allows you to liquidate your gold.   How's @James32 Supposed to buy it from you at £6000 per oz?  

I do think holding PM's gives some people a very false sense of security. 

Just a thought for the day! 

 

 

 

 

Definitely...what would be this world with silver at 300$ or gold at 10000 or 50000$.... probably chaos with total collapse of money, of economy that would lead to poverty, violence and wars. People imagine that they would live quietly and securely in their bunker of silver and gold and keep their standard of living as nothing had happened. ..So be careful what you wish for.   

Some PM coins would help you a little bit in some circumstances but gold and silver would only make sens when the collapse is over and useful to rebuild a new world

Mine has arrived to  Gorgeous 

Gorgeous indeed and regrets for me as I had to reasonably renounce to it today...I have at least you beautiful photos Paul, thank you .I'll try to keep some "powder dry" for the coming proof Coronation Sovereign

Indeed it is a rather large chunk of £££ to put down and take a risk on.

My constant fear with such exclusives is that the Royal Mint keeps doing “firsts” which ends up diluting their uniqueness.

I personally feel the Sovereign is the tried and tested coin, guaranteed to give a return on investment, or at least break even. And with special occasions and strikes like the Coronation SotD, it is a bit of a no brainer.

Definitely. The SOTD (for such significant historical events) is part of the historical lineage,  recognized for centuries, and without a doubt, it's a safe bet for any collectors. On the opposite, betting on the potential future value  of "stand alone" commemorative coins, aside from their beautiful design, is way more risky,  especially in a bullish gold price environment that is conducive to buying bullion close to the spot price.

 Lionel, i didn't budget for this, didn't even realise it existed until 12 hours ago today, if I had not seen a passing comment from @westminstrel i wouldn't have even brought it up on my phone call to ask about it, i have had my monthly Rm credit account statement and ive been trying to make my payment towards getting the balance down, Online is/was down, call the statement number and  queue queue queue, wait wait wait wait 

Popped a message to my RM account manger to arrange a call back to me to sort payment and RING RING 

and find out the the info (and shared here) 

My "reverse proof" Coronation 2oz gold or whatever it is is arriving Thursday - sight unseen 

I will post it in "Today i received" thread  - fingers crossed ive snagged am un expected diamond in the rough  

Be well, my friend 

Paul 

Thanks Paul, I am eagerly waiting your photos. I have not taken a decision about it as it means again high financial involvment and sacrifices. My AM being not at office until friday, I have some time to think about it, unless he was not able to keep it for me 🙄, 

Anyway, If I don't have it at the end, I am  happy as I have been lucky to secure a more reasonnable SOTD on  tuesday (incredible as I was in the 40000s in the queue...a  payment done without a glitch has probably done it for me

• An exclusive 2oz gold coin only is coming out for Mint Marque clients gold tier status and higher, marketed to platinum level first  
• Mintage is just 100
• and it is in reverse proof set 2oz gold only 
• RRP slightly higher than the standard 2oz gold at £5495

So it is https://www.royalmint.com/shop/monarch/charles-iii/coronation/ounce/the-coronation-of-his-majesty-king-charles-iii-2oz-gold-proof-coin/

I think this is the one that will do the best for potential profits & desirability 

My AM has proposed this coin, but are you sure it is a reverse proof (my AM told me it was fully frosted (Reverse and Obverse)

I like the design of this 2oz  Cook Islands " The Great Tea Race" ! I looked for one and the price was U$190. Do you think it worth it or overpriced?

Unless you are lucky, you will not get it now at launch price  (it was around US$100/110).

US$190 does not worth if you consider this purchase as an investment and I am not sure it will grow up in value in the futur. But if you like it, it really worths it because this is a beautiful coin and one of my favorites. I can say that I have sold many collection coins, but I never thought to sell this one...and I would say that the investment is also in the pleasure you have admiring it. As far as you buy bullion coins, close to spot, in a rational investment perspective, this is also nice to have some joy with nice coins that you like   
I have seen this coin on ebay at us$188 (in US) with offers possible, so you can try your luck to get it a little bit cheaper
