3am cst I reckon. But you will want to join the queue before that.

How about this:

1848 according to the Roman numerals mdcccxlviii

"PUB BY H HYAMS"

I assume this means "published", not "Pub" as in Win a Pint at Chards.

So does a person have to join the queue the night before or like 1/2 hr before? Sorry these may sound like stupid questions I just missed out on the first two coins and I’d like to try and get one of these.

Go to the website about an hour before and refresh the page every so often; the queue normally starts at 8.45am (GMT) but the last engravers it was earlier than this. Once in the queue just wait and pray to the Gods that you ain’t 1267935th in the queue when you finally enter the site

So is anyone here purchasing coins from America? I created an account and when I login and try to purchase a coin it tells me something along the line of that currency is not available for me. If I checkout as a guest I can use my credit card just fine but I fear checking out as a guest may take to long for this coin issue.

Thank you! How soon before Monday morning does a person know that it is the Monday when they are being released?

Sometimes it’s a surprise release. Sometimes not.

In this case those who registered their interest on the website received an email today that the release is on Monday at 9 am.

That’s weird. I registered my interest but did not get an email. I’ve heard that in the past the email was very hit or miss who received them.

Would anybody please be so kind to post a picture of the email? I had registered myself but have not received the email unfortunately. Much appricated. Thanks, Bert.

Looks like you and I were in the same boat.

Is it possible that there's some sort of mix up here?  🤔

The next Great Engravers release email has not come yet.  The 2022 Sovereign email just came and the release is on Monday 15th Nov @ 9am GMT.

I’m thinking someone maybe gave us bad intel then. I was inquiring about the Great Engravers coins but the one that responded may have been talking about something else.

All eyes are on the 2022 Sov release and there's a flurry of threads ongoing - it's a big deal because of the Jubilee special anniversary design and there's a lot of excitement. So maybe just mixed messages in a hurry. 

I would not expect to see the Great Engravers release email before the end of November earliest - and you'll surely notice it on the forum too, it's another hugely anticipated release 😉

Sorry. My bad. The “someone” who passed on misinformation is me.

That “someone” is yours truly. My apologies. I was referring to the email about the 2022 Sovereign and its release on Monday. I got confused about which topic I was posting in.

There’s been no email (that I know of) for the Gothic Crown.

No worries man! I was just confused as why I didn’t get an email. Are the Sovereigns really hot releases? I thought they were mass produced in large quantities.

The proof sovs have a limited mintage and usually sell out in days if not hours. For special years like the 2022 which have special designs, they are certainly in much more demand than the normal years and could sell out in minutes.

The bullion sovs have an unlimited mintage, so even if the 2022 bullion sov has the special design, I won’t be jumping to buy it yet since I’ll have a year more to do so.

I didn’t know they were that sought after. I wish you the best of luck in purchasing them Monday!

It’s already so nerve wracking. 😅

[Piperscoins]

It took me ages to get over the disapointment last time, what a mess. 

[272]

I have work commitments on Monday from 8.45am - 😞.

Hopefully Koinclub or another affilate trader starts selling them a little earlier than RM or I doubt I'll get a look in.

[dirt94]

So are most of you buying from the UK or is anyone else from America as well?
