They were one of the vendors who specifically asked not to be included. It's a pity too, as they often have some of the best prices.

Strange isn't it, they could miss out on a few sales.

Local pawn shop just added £16 to a half sovereign… to £212 and a full up £20 to £425!

I imagine that what they pay someone for one either hasn’t changed or gone down!

They are separate to the limited numbers.  I believe they don’t get a COA number allocated but get a personal document signed by the mint to say they were struck on the tour.  There are only 4 people on each VIP tour and only 2 a week so limited extra

I am sure the strike your own sovereigns are included in the maximum mintage for the 2022 proof sovereign (they are exactly the same coin after all), as there were a few hundred left unaccounted for after counting up all the ones that were sold individually or in sets. I worked it out a while back but can't find the post now - probably somewhere in that million page thread about the 2022 sovereigns  

There are 6 people on each tour now, and even though they added Friday tours recently there is still enough room to avoid going over the mintage limit. They could of course change the coins at any point too. At the end of last year and the start of the year it was still the 1/4oz Gold Standard coin, which I really wanted, but I can't really grumble about it being changed to the 2022 proof sovereign.

Only 2 of the 6 on my tour (me, and my other half on behalf of me! ) actually struck commemorative coins. You also get a free standard strike-your-own, which is currently the FA Cup £2 bunc, but can pay the extra £6.90 to get a second.

If anyone can actually make a successful payment with whatever system that is. Apparently they are due to have the improved payment system very soon

I have bought from them, the way it links your account once you pay them the next time is much easier.

I did have to research their payment system first time, made me a bit twitchy but no issues so far

Do they not accept card payments any more? Their website says they do but the checkout makes it look like they don't.

Na, some trustly bank app that does and doesn't work.

If it won't link to either of half a dozen mainstream banks it ain't a lot of use 🤣

I usually get the option to scan a QR code or continue by authenticating via the bank's browser (on computer). As long as I avoid the QR code, seems to be fine. I even bought a new 2022 sovereign just now in the interests of science.

Successful with Monzo account. Hopefully I don't have to pay for all the other order attempts or I'm in for a hell of an unboxing if so and might have about 150 spare sovs going cheap 🤣

I’m trying to navigate Trustly as I’m writing this.  Trying to buy 5 sov and I’ve been on the Trustly page for about 1/2hr so far☹️

Happened to me last week and it took three attempts ...make sure to use the webchat to explain the situation and they will honour the price, plus send to a direct link to pay

It took seconds with Monzo but various high street banks didn't work even after all the verification steps

Don't get your hopes up might have to skip a night out on Friday 🤣 

Good deal though on the 2022s if anyone is looking

Problem is deals are like buses, the best value sovs came back into stock at Brittania Coin Company this morning and I spent my pocket money on them

I just used the web chat and they said they can’t accept other forms of payment and basically there was nothing they could do so the order is just going to auto cancel 😠

I have bought from them in the past and they did give good sovs, but a few have been banged up, but I guess it is the gold content at the end of the day.
