Totally agree, it's an utterly contrived notion. However it is a sovereign, and a pretty one at that, and there will never be a shortage of them.
More importantly though, like it or not, it is the first KC3 sovereign, and for that alone it is a significant coin.
They won't make anyone rich, but bought at the right price they will do OK I think.

High end old coins are the only things I see doing well at the moment. I recently graded a 1872 Sovereign & it came back a 66, sold it instantly for £5k. Could have got more but it was an in & out job 😆

Completely disagree. Best thing people can do is panic and put them on the forum at spot.

It's almost as we're in stalled price discovery, and likely this will continue while buyers wait for e.g., TCC sales to set the baseline. 
That, and Christmas/holiday season is coming fast so needs must... 

Stunning sovs from a tube £378 plus post each. No bulk discounts on these this is the best price I can list them at. 

I was looking to buy *something* related to the platinum jubilee, memorial, coronation etc - just to bung away and forget about. Issue is, I don't have time to keep up with all the releases and to me, it just seems like a hugely saturated market with too much choice (Royal Mint's fault?) and so I've ended up not buying anything! Especially when you add proofs versus bullion into the mix, as well as all the different denominations and sets. At this point, I'm just overwhelmed and confused.

I think the real problem is RM's release policy, and pricing policy.
We were surprised by the Memorial sovereign, but many bought it because it was the first KCIII portrait on a sovereign.  But then after buying the proof, the bullion version was released - so this detracted from the novelty of the proof version. 
People rushed to buy the Coronation SOTD (understandably), but then the novelty of this release was immediately undermined with the proof Coronation version (with a massive mintage), and this was immediately undermined with the bullion release.
And this brings us onto the potential of a KCIII 75th Birthday SOTD sovereign - I will not be buying it even if the mintage is a fraction of that of the Coronation SOTD.  Within a month or two of such a release we will be due the 2024 proof sovereign.  And again I will not be buying it - a bullion 2024 sovereign will be enough for me.
When I started collecting 5 years ago, a proof sovereign was about £410 (2019 proof - and at the time this seemed expensive!).  We then had the leap to £800 for the Brexit SOTD, and the 2021 proof sovereign went up to £570.  The Memorial proof was about £695 and the Coronation SOTD was a record of £850.
So not only are we getting more releases but the prices have increased massively - at a time of a cost of living crisis.  As many collectors already have the coins they want from the last few years, the only way to move something on, is by being aggressive on price.

The real Gothic Crowns were cheap 10 years ago, compared to what they sell for today. Not that I had the wisdom to buy any back then. I even remember reading an article where someone described buying a plain rim UNC Gothic for $8,000 (aussie pesos), and I thought it's nuts to pay that much.  Then again, back then I wouldn't have been knowledgeable enough to avoid even a dead-certain fake, so could've just as well lost it all.
My biggest regrets are not starting way earlier with older (pre-Vic) sovs & high quality Crowns, and spending money on grading coins that did not benefit from getting slabbed.
