Would you like to sell it? 😂

Nope i

t'll go to safe deposit box Thurs  and wait til I've got around a grand for the next gold deal to come around

Deals to be had every day honestly,nothing wrong with keeping and stacking fiat for that right deal. 

Never need to.say yes to every deal

I managed a Piedfort and 1 Sov via dealer so was just browsing today, it means I have both 2022s in these formats.

Chuffed to bits is an understatement as I thought I'd only afford one 2022 Sovereign proof this year - for **** sake don't tell the Mrs 🙈

 

Now to desperately start saving for the 2023 Coronation...

Might be still too early to tell whether this release will prove to be a winner or a flop, but as a relative newcomer, one thing I would query is how has the PR/communications campaign for this release been handled compared to previous releases?

As someone who works in mar/comms I was surprised about the relatively short lead-time from announcement and the fairly sparse promotion on social media channels. This could be pretty standard so perhaps I'm wide of the mark as I have no professional experience in the marketing of numismatics / RM collectibles.

For me, the marketing - whilst clearly reaching its core audience (i.e. TSF) - does seem very low key. 

You're right its been quick short and sweet. Normally when you see it on daily mail, the sun and the one show on BBC it's a big release

Possibly as they are collecting funds now and know it's not dispatching until mid Jan maybe to soft l/ under the radar launch today.maybe ??

Instead of all the negativity, what’s everybody actually spent all their hard earned on today and now looking forward to getting?

I was going to buy 1 full sovereign and the 4 box set...

Ended up with 

2 × 4 box set 

1 × 3 box set 

2 × full sovereigns 

1× half sovereign 

Tempted for the 5 box ...but wife will go mad lol

On a positive note golds up on the start of WW3. 

 

[Taikonaut]

The 4 set is the only one to get sold out but I reckon they will be back in stock again soon. So who ahs orderd the 4 cion set? Judging by the queue this morning I came in at just over 3000 and I was there at 8.32am I get a feeling there is about 5,000 people in search or on or more coins.

Yes good point and as there's plenty more to come in 2023 they may be pacing themselves, there'll be plenty of low hanging PR fruit in the run up to the coronation.

It's $400 Oz soon, Wonga said here

Yes I was just reading about the Russian missile landing in Poland 🤔 this news probably caused a gold spike this evening

There'll be no shortage of long term losing  c**p and rubbish released next year I've no doubt.

For the good stuff 

[Tn21]

Safe to say tsf account for 10% of sales today in the memorial sov range

Maximum coin mintage: 6480, what? I'm going to assume that's including the coins in the coin sets? Not that they're just gonna pump out another 3k if they desire, right?

Flippers is such a demeaning term

Yes and it's tarnishing my enjoyment of the DVDs from one of my favourite childhood shows

Can't we call them Lassies or even (for the younger generation) Teletubbies?

I am guessing Mr Noseybonks may be too obscure (?)

Thanks, imagine if they did what they did with the first Charles coins haha 

[Gypsy]

I think the 4 coin set is the Best Buy. Low mintage and has the double. More affordable.

I'd be delighted if they stay unsold and all end up in the pot. Mintages slashed in a heartbeat...

Definitely, especially the Piedfort (being selfish, but I do think it's the dark horse after the erratic but mostly significant Lizzie releases, and likely to be slashed/omitted after 2023)!

Seriously, I think this will do well in due course, like it or not, this is the first sovereign with the new king. It is a piece of history.

Absolutely, and I actually think the RM has been very clever here and it's going to be a win-win for all given time.

Sure, they messed up the 'sold out'. I don't buy that this was deliberate to let them trickle through, I don't think they're that clever, considerate of customers (!) in different timezones, I just think they were a bit too cautious (for once) and some of their marquee customers (the seriously wealthy who only want 'the thing no-one else can get') withdrew. Or, most likely, Dave from the pub who they got in to redo their website just screwed up.

Always buy the coins you like and you cannot go wrong. The design on this coin is amazing to say the least. One of the most beautiful sovereigns out there designed by the legendary engraver Jody Clark who made the Britannia 2014, the Queens last effigy and the Queens Beasts and Completer coin! People who will miss out and future collectors are going to be looking  for these coins. Mintage numbers are higher than before but not the highest of special reverses. This was not advertised well, actually really badly as they sent an email 1 week before release and that was it. Higher mintages and higher prices all contribute to slow sale, HOWEVER, i must say that all sets were sold out by lunch time and then in the afternoon RM decided to add more (even though they actually wrote “sold out”).
These coins are a part of history, a wonderful design and the first sovereign of the new King. I have no doubt in my mind that these will appreciate very well in the long run. I am glad i could buy the 5-coin set as this design will be a stunner and i am sure will be one of my favourites.

I think today has been a great success. 

I think measuring whether they sell out of 40000+ coins in one day and then saying its a damp squib or failure is not appropriate for the release. 

Remember, if the Royal Mint have sold on average 75% of their stock in the first day then the break down would be over £22 Million in sales.

That is NOT a bad day for any mint or coin dealer. IN A DAY!

Breakdown

1/4 = £690,000

1/2 = £1,125,000

Full = £12,162,000

BU = £2,900,000

Piedfort = £2,580,160

3 coin set = £1,680,000

4 coin set = £1,796,250

5 coin set = £6,714,000

Grand Total = £29,647,410

75% of Grand total: £22,235,558

As to where things will go in the future for us coinsters - who knows....

Hopefully I will be able to hold onto these amazing HISTORIC coins for a long time, enjoy them and then part with them at a time of my choosing that allows me to have made some money. 

If you are buying these just to make some extra cash you will probably fail. Some will flip and some will win. 

There is more to life than cash in the bank. 

Are you sorry you asked?
