2022 Sovereign design revealed?

[Midasfrog]

I think the younger collector who buys this sovereign will be able to turn a profit when they retire in a few years time 😁

So if you are in the early teens I would say go for it 😂

But for most coin collectors like my grandad shown below "Papa Bullion" it's not for him plus he never makes it to the front door in time for his SD post .

I just hope I'm not waiting until March 2023 for the five sovereign piece that I bought and paid for in November 2022.  It had better bloody well turn up in early January.

[Mtaybar]

So today is the final day that the memorial sovereigns will be available. I wonder if the remaining 1/4 sovereigns the Royal mint have available will sell out by the end of the day. It says they are ready to ship in 10 days. Hopefully that delivery estimate extends to all the other variants?

[Mtaybar]

Anyone know how many 1/4s they have left available? It'll be interesting to see how those numbers change over the rest of the day.

I'm surprised there's that many quintuples left. The 1/4 not so much. 

[Stuntman]

The trouble with the quintuple is that it's a fairly serious sum of money for most people - even those who really, really want to own the coin (like me) and it is priced considerably more than the Platinum Jubilee quintuple cost a few months previously.  So for people who occasionally buy quintuple sovereigns to collect (like me), it's been an expensive few months including nearly £3k of unexpected/unbudgeted expenditure on this coin.

I have decided to find the money and buy it, but I completely get why others in a similar position have passed on the coin.

I just hope it looks spectacular in the metal, next to its Platinum Jubilee sister.

Agreed and I fully understand. Its huge money but it's worth it I you can do it I reckon. Especially if you have the jubilee matte. They'll make a heck of a set!

Agreed - especially seeing the product description shows "Shipping early March"; surely that must be a bug? 🤯

Two quarters sold in the past 5 hours, zero quintuples gone.

[Mtaybar]

[Relm]

[Mtaybar]

I'm starting to think you have landed a job at the mint? Tour guide or incharge of QC sticker's.

Tried to see what delivery estimate the half displayed, but they're no longer available so it doesn't show

They'll probably all come out sporadically and keep us on our toes lol. Im hoping for a January delivery though like the 1/4 suggests.

You are right though, whilst I like joking about, these are shaping up to be a winner ( providing we get past quality issues) 

[ShineyMagpie]

yeah will be interesting to see, has anyone had any contact about their memorial orders yet?

I'll be on the phone to them first thing on the 3rd. I was told the piedforts were being minted on the 23rd so hopefully mine is sat on a tray somewhere in the vault in perfect condition, best of the bunch and ready to be put into its box and brought to me on a royal carriage in the next couple weeks.

It kind of blows my mind that they're selling a matt finish coin for almost 3 grand and yet they have to advertise it with a picture of a proof coin and a written disclaimer. I presume this is because they haven't even gotten around to striking a single coin with the finish they are actually advertising.

I miss the days where things were made and then sold. None of this preorder months in advance bs, or releasing unfinished products.
