2022 Sovereign design revealed?

[CaptCaveMan]

Anyone else noticed the added text;

The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Coin range is only available to purchase until 31 December 2022.

If they don't sell out the LE numbers maybe reduced...

@Paul did you receive any deliveries, or was it a website error?

So I assume since I've bought 2 x four coin sets, I'm getting cancelled too? Strange as both payments taken though and both still in open orders.

The only reason I went for 2 x four's was because payment failed twice on the 5 coin set ( only debit card ive ever used for the mint) and basket disappeared. So ordered a 4 coin set in a state of panic, then the mint spent the rest of the day mocking me by releasing 5 coin sets 😆 then everything sold out again. Then another 4 coin set appeared and I thought 2 x 4 is 8 and more than 5 😆 🤣 😂

Well spotted, it could just be a marketing ploy... time will tell.

i have the five and four set still in "open orders"

and i have a five and four set in "closed orders" marked as dispatched/no payment taken/and order total shows as £0.00 for them in RM speak = cancelled without telling you from other posts here who have had orders cancelled without being told 

The two sets cancelled were the orders i made later in the day with RM when they arrived back in stock suddenly on the site 

They may be be manually checking who's bought prior to dispatch. Not sure how i was caught out

i would expect it to be sold out by the end of the year personally.

Cash received for Christmas, last minute gifts given, folk getting bonuses from work/tips, Irish folk getting a new Dyson for Christmas and cant wait to give it its first suck 

All this coming up soon

I think it has just been added, had a look at BackyardBullion's videos on YT and that sentence is missing.

Ahh, RM realise they made too many and realise its becomming a potential flop and resort to plan B.

That is very shady if correct - people screencapped the release on the day earlier in the thread, so that can be checked.

I didn't buy myself, but I think it's been a good release (apart from the RM shenanigans)

Basically some issues have effectively been 'unlimited' (in that they outstripped demand) but it means everyone who wanted something got it.

Some of these will be one-off souvenir collectors, so we can remove them from the 'collector' pool (as they won't look to buy others from recent years). But some will become collectors, and the mintage on certain releases means that demand will only go up for those coins.

Meanwhile the actual 'collector pool' won't be affected much imvho - the other buyers' coins will go into the drawer or safe, largely forgotten about, and be kept for life - they won't come onto the secondary market.

And the flippers have been 'taken out'. Not good short-term (hype etc), no problem medium to long term for me.

I see it as win-win for us all (whether we bought these or not!)

RM though they sell like hot cakes and increased the mintage by a wide margin. Clearly they badly misjudged its customer's income commitment and the current economic climate.

[DeepSpace]

It's been a curious release. I bought early and was happy to get the one item I ordered. To think I was rushing so much to check out I almost forgot my password. But now, with stock still available days later it means I will not have to look back on this release with any regrets. I've had plenty of time to second guess whether I should purchase more but also to reflect on what I have bought and relax, without overstretching my finances in the moment and without the dreaded FOMO.

I will say that regardless of how these coins perform on the secondary market I just think it's a great looking coin and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I feel lucky to be in a position to buy gold with everything that's going on for so many at the moment. I think in the end, for me, that's enough.

Will be more interesting to revisit this thread in 5 years time and 10 years time, and reflect

No big deal, those of you who have bought will be better off ..  less coins out there. The mint isn’t the first to do this.

[Chrisplym]

I will be very surprised if they don’t all sell out by the end of December. It is a great design and the first King Charles III sovereign. I have no regrets about my purchases. These will be a great investment for the future.

Mate read the one about the 2022 QEII piedfort and £5 BU loads of people slating them.......and when the QEII sadly passed away the same people slating the coins could not buy them fast enough.

I reckon as soon as people start getting them in their hands and some better photos / youtube videos come out, the demand will pick up.

I'm guilty of powering the Hoover up some bits to after she passed. Glad I went for the £5 gold Matt. It's unique and lovely

Clearly Charles is not going to pass away. Unless you know something we don't 🤫

He's in his mid 70s, he might be feeling the  pinch with the cost of living crisis and can't afford to put the heating on this Christmas 

Should we arrange a  gofundme page to help him get a log burner ???

@GoldDiggerDave can gift him some plundered free wood

Exclusive photos of a coin flipper, after his third consecutive day of logging into the royal Mint's website to check if things are sold out yet

I think the household limit really put the brakes on flippers this time.

Nope they just bought their allowance off RM and the rest from dealers.
