HAHA also spotted this stunner (sorry no relevance to the thread, but couldnt resist) 

For those who missed out, quality coins available on ebay to fill the void 😁

(I'm actually tempted, little bargain)   

Maybe try and load money into your account and pay with that? 

I like it, assume many others too, none left! 

8mm diameter which is about 1/2 of a 1/10th, small but large for its weight. I think they'll do well.

This has to be one of the best items, right? Affordable gold (even if a massive premium). Anyone with these has surely got a good little item to keep for a few years at least!

There must be lots of demand, its not usually this bad. Not much left now

man the mint website taking forever to load the page when ever im trying to look at an item.

The queue after the queue 

Been lingering on this view almost for as long as the initital countdown wait! 😄

The irony of wanting low mintages, but then not being able to get hold of the coin! 

565 

Not my cup of tea, but there is a market for them, otherwise they'd have stopped producing these coins. But then, they'll sell like 100 coins worldwide with marketing and launch hype. 

Exit strategy feels like ebay and luck or a nice gift for someone. Maybe the dealers buy back on rarity value or take a share in resale price. Unlikely, but that would help tilt me into buying. 

Welcome to the forum,

If you paid above bullion for it, I'd return it - there is literally no point in having an impared proof, it's worth bullion maybe bare metal. 

A low COA on a coin like this is nice but doesn't give any real incremental value 

Hope this helps

great price! 

£172

Oxymoron collecting proofs for the appocalypse?

You want lots and lots of brits to throws at zobies or to melt into silver crosses? Nope thats vampires 

Expencive and addictive: crown's shillings, or collecting generally old silver design/date runs 

Similarly expencive (due to VAT and todays premiums): the beasts, moarchs collection, great engravers - some really fantastic coins coming out of the RM. 

But you can pick up lots on the forum or seriously consider your goals and gold. 👍

"I was suspected of having included the form of a bird whispering into the king’s ear. This was a nice conceit. I’m not crafty enough to have thought it up myself, but I am forced to admit that the tragus I modelled (a prominence at the front of the outer ear) and the folds beneath it do look surprisingly avian."

@modofantasma

ohhhh.... you beat me by milliseonds

doesnt matter anyway TN21 got first place 😅

second dibs on below please (if TN21 is feeling generous) 

Bundle 3
1 x 1/4 oz Lion of England QB
1 x 1/4 oz Dragon of Wales QB

Not the best wording... 

"The rest of the Coronation Sovereign collection will be released later in the year and will be available in a variety of Proof editions"

To me, that says there's a special Cornoation proof in the pipeline, which is probably going to be Charles with the Crown but no idea about the reverse. 

Quite strange that they are not releasing it in May!

SOTD for King Charles III's 75th birthday (with a 75 Privy Mark) on 14th November.

 

I hadnt even thought about this! 

I shouldn't have spent so much on easter eggs this year! 

oh my head hurts!

I do hope there will be a bullion Sovereign, been waiting ages for the 2023 release. 

2023 bullion sovereign was confirmed but no date given. 

Expect it will be the G&D design, but given its a special year they may well go with a special design, or both, why not people will pick up both issues! 

Is this the Sovereign pipeline for 2023? 

Coronation:

BU Matte SOTD G&D sovereign with crowned Effigy 

Proof Special design sovereign with crowned Effigy

Regular Issue's (G&D / Special/ both?)

Bullion sovereign 

Proof Sovereign 

Birthday specials

King Charles 75th Birthday SOTD/Privy 

Prince George is 10 (blimey time flies!) 

Here we go, found the porttrait side in the email. Looks great on the Sovereign! 

Snap! 

It means it'll reappear in 5 years for the Kings 80th Birthday to drum up lots of demand! 

Has anyone seen a picture showing the front of the Sovereign? 

Dammit, Second dibs please
