£999 + 75P postage 

Inadequate insurance.

I think this qualifies.

Lovely Historical piece❤️

Is this a speck of fluff or a hole?

I think it’s a tiny pit or part of missing frosting. Difficult to tell, even under 20x magnification.

While we’re pointing out minor imperfections, there are a couple of specks of missing frosting on the Charlie side, which are clearly visible if you zoom in enough. Although the coin that achieved a 70 grade also had these.

After reading through the comments whilst the SOTD is still available I wonder how many people that can afford and also collect these type of sovereigns will be disappointed when it sells out on the RM website and the dealers increase the price 

I think they're struggling to shift this one, as I've just had my first ever call from the Mint, reminding me it was available and that I haven't bought it yet.

Personally, I think this one will be available in the secondary market well below £850, but I've been wrong before.

I don't tend to look at dealer's sites, as the prices are usually well above what I'm willing to pay.

25 x Sovereign (22 x screw, 3 x push)

5 x Double Sovereign (3 x screw, 2 x push)

2 x 1 oz silver proof (screw)

2 x 1/10 gold (screw)

£75 posted

UK shipping only.

Thanks

Not at £850, no.

The price increases on these over the last couple of years is ludicrous. I won't be adding this one.

It's the same price as the SOTD Coronation sovereign, which is clearly the more desirable coin.   

These will fit the RCM bars, at least they did last time - I used them for the same bars myself.

These are hard to come by cheaply, so I usually buy in bulk, this kind of thing:

It's worth making clear that the Perth Mint is the more well known / popular of the Lunar coins and we are now on the 3rd Series.

Although the RAM has a Lunar Series, it is better known for the annual Kangaroo coins. 

@Panda6Pack

I'll take the Bull if still available.

Thanks

2019 had a total mintage of 13,000 (incl. sets).

2024 mintage is closer to 2010 - 2012.

TBH - I was looking at the 2 and 5.

The difference between 9000 and 13000 for the sovereign doesn’t seem that significant to me. Demand won’t be that high at > £700.

Does anyone believe that this may a longer term winner with it being the first King Charles III George and Dragon sovereign and the lower mintages?

Mintages are similar to 2019, which has not been a winner yet, although a lot has happened since then.....

Your quality photo shows it is cleaned. A poor photo one might not pick up on it. So if you want to sell it at a good price , take a rubbish photo lol

You have a point, as the scratches were not visible on the advert photo.

In fairness the seller has agreed to a return, as I only purchased with grading in mind.

Looks cleaned unfortunately  
But the scratches on the cheek would give it a details grade anyway I suspect

Unfortunately, I agree.

Cleaned or not? Was hoping to upgrade from my low AU example, but am now doubtful, as many hairlines.
