If those 5 coin sets aren’t sold out by tomorrow I’m expecting that everyone who would pay over the odds for one will already have a set (or more than one set) and then the PF69 graded ones might be on offer for less than RRP in March/April. With the PF70s just slightly more than RRP. That 1,200 mintage is almost double the previous 5 coin set. 🤔 

Why haven’t the dealers mopped these up?

I think people don’t have the extra cash. We r all worried about our bills. Iv just cancelled my order. 

[blackadder]

They were out of stock for like two hours,then all come back hmm 😮😕

could be drip feeding them,or the website is messed up.

I’m thinking we should be able to pick these up at a bargain on January 

Leap of faith.

You always have option to return and refund buying direct from RM on new issues

They're graded by PCGS, who most people will have heard of. The "First Strike" label just means the coin was issued within the first 30 days of the mint's release or something like that.

 

I have heard of them and didn't realise the connection. Still a poor purchase on my part and can't see me getting my money back in the next decade 

[SheepStacker]

Well, if they didn't sell a lot, maybe they can speed up the despatch time? Mind you, I'm still waiting on my Silver Charles 50p from back in October.

The amount I’ve cancelled with them due to speed is a joke. Everyone else seems to get there’s months before me. I expect the same in January hence considering canceling my purchases and buying on the secondary Jan-Apr

Even if people are cancelling, the stock levels wouldn't be this high....RM is releasing few at a time for different time zones

The exact same scenario as the 2022 proof. Didn't sell out rapidly. Everyone got fearful and thought I will just wait because they did not see an instant sell out. The Queen croaked it and what do you know everybody flocked to get one.

If people don't see an instant sell out they wait and when it eventually sells out they get FOMO. 

By the time the coronation comes around you will be sitting pretty with these. Every time RM have hiked price or mintage a few more question this. Those who sat on the side will pay the inflated price. IMO

Not exactly a runaway success, flying off the shelves to be fair 

I'd argue that it hasn't even been 24hrs - not a bad amount of product shifted... but yes, for the first Sovereign of King Charles III isn't a runaway success either 🤔

[JohnV66]

Stock totals remaining as of 5pm GMT:

 

1 Sov   =  4390

1/2 Sov =  546

1/4 Sov = 1237

3 coin set = 146

4 coin set = 9

5 coin set = 79

 

At least it'll give folks returning home from work a chance to buy.

Did the other Charles coin launch OK? 

good point @FlorinCollector the coronation will re-new interest on these (I've run out of likes)

This is simply not true. The 2022 proof sovereigns sold rapidly - there was no chance of a 5 set beyond the first few minutes for example.

Mintages were lower (only 700 5 coin sets) and it was a one in a lifetime event,  Platinum Jubilee.

This release pales in comparison in terms of history, rarity and exclusivity.

It was all far cheaper to,think my sovereign was £575

No they did not. The 2022 proof was on sale for more than a day. If you want to change the rules to the 5 sov set then fair play but talking about the 1 sov. 

Also when the piedfort released nobody took interest. 

The covid sell out releases are over. We are back to reality now.

Hi Paul,

My card has been charged and shows as pending.

Are they just checking cards and then actually charging them in January do you know?

I might keep the faith until January I guess.

Proper “squeaky bum time” on this release 😂 

Cheers 🍻 

 

[AurumArgenti]

Doubt I will buy any of the 2023 Sovereigns sets. I mainly wanted this one because I have the 2022 QE 4 coin set.  

I like both of the designs especially because I'm bored of the G&D. 

The last and first of the reigns seems kind of standout ones to collect to me.

My debit card's been charged as soon as I placed the order. Not  sure about credit cards...

You are completely wrong and just trying to save face. The 5, 4 and 3 set of the 2022 proof sovereign were instant sell outs. I believe some full sovereign coins appeared back for sale the day later, though these were limited.

Nothing like the 2023 sovereigns we see now, where you can EVERY SINGLE COIN (5set, 4set, 3set included) at 17:22......

Edited November 15, 2022 by Timberwolf

[Paul]

The full and half of the 2022 were def both available over 24+ hours last year. The five  set sold out in mins and never returned available on day 

[blackadder]

Maybe if they have drip fed the coins all day,and a limit to one sovereign per order.

plus the longer wait time for the coins,stopped flippers buying tons of everything.

Which in turn has allowed everyone to get something is a good thing.

Maybe 😦🙈
