If most people that wanted to sell held these the price would push up but realistically I can’t see the majority of these graded ones being held by the initial buyers. 
 
Sit back and enjoy the coin is my advice and wait for the next one to be released.

It’s silly people even ask them what a coin may grade really, god knows why they would even suggest a minimum grade and that would be in their eyes only. Once people start mentioning grades to royal mint they will be more likely to switch to graded coins. Personally if any coins I have are marked and I bring it up I focus on the marks and never mention grading as that’s my choice and they shouldn’t have to give guarantees or thoughts on grades. 

I was interested in special labels and saw the appeal, but think @sovtsfis right re: the simplest label being less distracting from the coin and keeping the labelling consistent, after all, the attention should be on the coin and not so much on the label.
I think the NGC holders are really nice and love the hologram on the reverse.  What I personally think shows the coin off really well is, the PCGS holder, with it having more transparent plastic around the coin.
If buying on the secondary market, buy the coin and not the holder and if you have a preference as to which holder it sits in, you can always transfer, if needed.

I usually price in the cost, time risk and hassle on the basis I can change special labels. I use to be attracted to the different labels when I first started collecting but soon realised it’s much harder to complete a set that matches and the simplest labels are the least distracting from the coin. 
 
Interesting times ahead with the three graces all being graded now 

Gotta say not sure I get TSF label. May detract from any resale with a non standard label that's very custom.

One on eBay sold on the 28th March 12.5k

Theres going to be soooo many graded, as most wont even be on the census yet. Easily 500+ in a month or two

Best of luck, be interesting to hear what these sell for with so few around 

I posted all my letters back (1 a week minimum) as they kept sending them despite asking them to stop, it was driving me crazy. In hindsight I wish I hadn't bothered. They even cancelled a second order and called saying I need to invest in proofs and kept sending me even more stuff. Never again

Ngc have updated their site to 45 days plus 45 for ncs, even for walkthrough. It shows just how many coins are being graded now and more new people self submitting

NGC census update is tomorrow around midday it should be refreshed so might see some new graces appear on there.

Which will likely mean a lower price on these, the higher the percentage of 70s the lower the value 

If there’s no damage it’s not worth risking sending back. Add a pic? 

I use to be the same until I realised after various tests grading that a lot of coins I was sending back would infact grade very well. I’m seeing a lot of coins people are returning with such minor issues that would most likely be fine with ncs. With scratches and perm damage I would do the same and return as you have nothing to loose but otherwise you risk a worst coin or refund.
If every RM proof coin got a 70 grade would people be happy if the 70 prices realised dramatically reduced? They certainly wouldn’t be close to UNA prices 

 
 

As has been said before, the more folk (possibly not even collectors) bang on on aboutimperfect coins, possibly with a bit of fluff, the RM will eventually cotton on, in spite of their mismanagement and will start to sell only graded coins at a massive premium. I know it’s not only the forum who is the market but make your mind up guys.
The same could be said as with Hatton garden metals in the past. We had it good for a few years, then certain folks moved in, demanding proof quality at bullion prices, computer alerts the microsecond a shield sov appeared and in the end, we have lost out in the long run.
Take the long term view folks, not the quick flip. Just my opinion

I'm very surprised they would even mention grades as no one knows what a coin will grade its only a prediction and then theres the transit of the coin. If they remint expect to wait a while for another, I have given up waiting for remints on other coins and have also had worst ones returned.

I think the more people that start saying they want their coins to hit certain grades to RM the more chance they will look to move into selling graded at much higher prices. I have noticed a lot of people seem to be so much worried about really tiny imperfections these days and a lot that I've seen on groups are mostly dust. I'm fussy but a lot I see I would send to grading that people are considering returning.

I'm predicting we see a higher % of 70s this time around compared to the Unas as they have been taking on board feedback and the recent 5oz Eltons show how they have improved since the Queens as one example

The 10oz are all reserved so i would assume that is the same for the 1kg
