Right, that's it ! my mind is made up forever
I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, ever, ever buying from Royal Mint again, until the next release with "potential" launches {rant over} 
When are Coronation sovereign proof sets due to launch? (asking for a friend) 

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.  

Got this in hand yesterday now off for  NGC grading, what a gem! 

For those of you who FOLLOW me, get your pennies together.
As this will weigh a little heavier on the wallet, I'm giving advance notice for this auction.
Please keep an eye out for the post.

This will also give you some time to research the world wide web and get a good idea on values. 
These two Ultra High Relief pieces have not been taken out of their boxes. They are brand new from the Mint - not second hand. 
Haven't decided yet when to start the auction, so please keep an eye out. I'll most likely make a comment on this post a few days before the start. 
Thanks much. 
 

@Frenchie for a second I thought that was the new lidi advert.  

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

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

Society however is slowly collapsing, the evidence is everywhere. Very interesting look up the work of "Calhoun's mouse utopia" experiments, we humans are performing no different to mice

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! 
 

 
 
 

Relax guys, we still have that 400/oz dip coming

The first question I would ask myself is "what am I investing for"? If it's growth then the conventional wisdom would be to avoid bullion. I have bullion not for investment growth, but for a hedge (insurance) against Bad Things[tm] happening and a greater degree of independence from The System[tm].
I have no expertise in numismatics and so no opinion on how the 5oz proof will do over time, however I subscribe to the idea that you should only invest in stuff you understand. So unless you feel that you understand the market and the risks and you have your own view on the investment that you are confident in, I'd avoid it. (Also bear in mind that having that much value in a single item will likely make it less liquid than it otherwise would be.)

I have ordered the coming 3oz Constitution, it seems to me that the fineness of the design is greatly improved. It reminds me the beauty of the 2oz  Cook Islands " The Great Tea Race"

Well, you don't need a magnifying glass for this coin!
2 oz gold Fully Frosted proof (limited to 100 pieces) and available only to people with fancy account managers!
Very fast delivery too, got it just today!
IT IS STUNNING

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

Mine has arrived to  Gorgeous 

ive been told they are due for dispatch the month prior to William's coronation 

My 2oz gold has arrived - looks fab, flaw free, no visible damage 
Hopefully a classic of the future in years to come.   

first 1oz gold spotted on BookFarce - enjoy
Looks nicer than the RM CGI artificial web site images 

Thanks for sharing this pic!
These designs didn’t really appeal to me from the beginning - they just don’t feel timeless and classic to me personally, and seeing this pic has reinforced that feeling for me.
It’s helped me get off the fence as I was debating getting the 2oz silver as it is available today.
I expect these to sell at or near issue price in a year from now.
I’m just happy with my SotD Sovereign. ☺️
