Almost done with the special years. I'm currently doing the SOTD ones, some are hard to find (early years).

I like the SOTD sovs... they are not for everyone, but i think they are pretty cool.

If I am not mistaken, the SOTDs prior to 2017 were nothing special - they just came in special packaging. Right?

yeah, not special designs apart from sometimes a plain edge i think. some had pretty low mintages.

I’m almost 100% sure not even plain edge for those SOTDs. This started with the 2017 SOTD. But happy to be corrected

No, you are probably right. I was just thinking what else they may have done, no privy that i can think of off the top of my head so though that would be the only other change they may have done.

Yup, I also got the email about an hour ago, mine will be delivered tomorrow  Happy about this... 

[fehk2001]

I have not got my dispatch notice yet , maybe they are doing the bigger number coa first 😂

[xthomasx]

Got my notice as well. Will take an unspecified period of time, though. They said that the delivery will be between Jun 4th and 10th but in the end they are usually much faster.

Now £1,000 ....

[sovereignsteve]

they'll be cheaper on ebay

[kimchi]

Naturally with hindsight I do wish I'd bought one or two of these, to flip one and then possibly see how the other one (effectively free!) does over the longer term. They should/will never be sold at less than issue price imo, there is certainly no need for them to be, it's a seller's market, but you will need to find that market (not ebay once the hype has gone imho). If I had only one in the bag and no guarantee I could not hold on for possibly decades though I would sell now myself, £1000+ prices are crazy and may not be seen again for a while imvho, a return more than that would be unprecedented and I don't think this is the coin to do it (if any can). In fact if I had two I would probably cash in both and buy a couple of ounces of decent bullion gold, the opportunity cost is too great not to (for me).

The Mint's 'erratic' approach would be the worry for me going forward...

That said! Looking forward to see how everyone does with these and (especially) what they think of them in hand, hoping everyone is well chuffed with the quality and the coins

I hope you are right @kimchi i now wish i had one. I think reading through the forum hypes me up for coins i never wanted :)) hopefully hype dies down and i can get one for good price

it is hard to say 

wow 50k for a house , now 300k and still going up 

if I own a castle I probably will sell it and live in a caravan 

nothing is crazy as soon as these keeps on going up and everyone getting the benefits out of it 

maybe today I paid 1200 for a coin looks over priced but if I think it will go up in the future then it is NOT expensive , the seller may cry because he sells too early 

such as …. why did I sell my house 5 years ago now I missed out 100k extra profit

keep hunting but it could be..... tomorrow never dies 

[Cornishfarmer]

I missed out on the coin.   Was mad because I was up just didn’t check phone.    So in afternoon picked up some cricket World Cup tickets,     Posted on stubhub and £450 investment turned into £1200 when they sold...... shows other things can be flipped for a good profit

I just received my coin. Paperwork states the 650 coins is the limited edition presentation. I called RM who could not guarantee more of these coins would not be produced in the future. The 650 is purely the strike on the day in this box. To my mind this borders on fraud !!!

[Safestacker]

Oh yesssss!! 

 

Interestingly - when trying to register it at royalmint.com/sovereigncertify, it says the code is invalid 🤭 

 

Anyone had a good look at theirs for imperfections etc ? 

[stevie67aus]

Just received mine. Absolutely stunning.

[Safestacker]

Opening offers starting at £10,000? Anyone? 😂

[Jaguar147]

Sorry, should have introduced myself before posting the above. I’ve been browsing the forum for a while but just decided to sign up. I collect sovereigns & was lucky enough to get one of these. Hello to you all. I look forward to communicating with you.

clearly says maximum coin mintage of 650 on their website, I think it's 99.9% safe to say they wont make anymore, but if they do then they will have trouble on their hands
