Just a guess but I recon the memorial bullion 2022 sovereign coming out on the 31st will be around until a 2023 coronation bullion sov is released around April / May and then back to normal in 2024. 🤷‍♂️

 Yep, can't see them missing the opportunity for another special reverse.

Bring it on. You probably won't see another until the end of his reign.

Been wanting to do an updated full stack photo for ages now, still waiting on the memorial half.

I've received my single sov and generally speaking, I'm a big fan of the design.

Quick question re frosting - I can see a number of very small areas at 5x magnification where the frosting is missing. Would this affect Grading? 

I've previously discussed quality management with the RM at length and the fact their own process (ie arms length examination) is not fit for purpose for proof coins. They accepted my argument and I had to exchange several older sets until I was happy, but I can't recall if tiny areas of missing frosting are likely to lower the Grading of a coin, or whether it goes off scratches and surface marks (for which there appear to be none)

Here’s what the 2022 Jubilee Sovereign might’ve looked like if it were stuck in platinum.

Just for kicks… this is a black and white image from RM’s socials.

Ebay listings like this will kill any profit , maybe this is the RM selling through a warehouse 🤔

Priced at £750 each

From memory, I believe the odd piece of missing frosting is overlooked "manufacturing flaw"  especially if only noticed by magnification. 

My SOTD proof had a very noticeable with bare eyes ( bullet hole) in the queen's temple area, I offered it up on here at rrp before returning. The person that took it sent for grading and it received a PF70 😆

Hahahahaha me and @GoldDiggerDaveneed to take a selfie with the stash when its all here

[SiCole]

I know anything that wasn't sold direct was offered to distributors and i have bought more as a result of unsold RM stock.

Unfortunately they were always going to maximise their profits - business 101 and the COA has the numbers on them which were what they said they were going to be and no less.

I wonder if that is Shadow Stacker he purchased a few hundred silver proof snowmen one year and had them piled up , or maybe it is just the Royal Mint dumping them this is very possible

 Cheaper on their website, is that a legit company?

The profit is in the future bud. The short term is fooked. As expected, the mint shifted the unsold numbers to dealers instead of lowering mintage.

Looks like a real website but needs someone to place an order or who has used them already to let us know. They have zero feedback on ebay

Just ring Louise at COTR or Alistair at BBP. Both I am sure can get you one without the premium. Maybe Lawrence also

All are great trusted companies.

They accept Google pay, if you have a credit card linked you could use that?

No they will contact a distributor and try to secure one at the point of sale.

Seems he has turned his hobby into his business. Been there and well done to him.
