2022 Platinum Jubilee SOTD Sovereign

[Oddjob]

By the sound of what its like sitting on queue / waiting on line with RM for new releases, their web site saying seems ominous.

Good luck to all wanting to get the SOTD. A special coin for a very special monarch.

Hope the RM phones don't melt down and you aren't on the phone / web site all day.

Who says the SotD has been moved to Monday? The only email I received from the RM, which I shared a few pages back, states it will be available from 14:30 on 6 Feb (which is Sunday).

Anyway King George VI died at 7:30 am GMT on 6 Feb, which is when QE II automatically acceded to the throne. So the 14:30 GMT has no significance as far as I can see. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is probably to do with how much overtime the RM has to pay!

[GoldDiggerDave]

2:30 is always a good time for a dental appointment...........And it does feel like some days the RM are pulling our teeth out.

I guess they aren't the only vultures showing up for the occasion.

They look quite nice to be fair but worth spot +3% in all likelihood long term

I’m not sure why there’s confusion about the release of the SotD.

I shared the RM email that I received - it clearly states Feb 6 at 14:30 GMT - and there’s been nothing to the contrary to indicate otherwise.

That will explain why the release price is so dear.

paying RM staff double time for coming in working on a Sunday 

[Paul]

I didnt even notice the Sunday release, just defaulted to thinking it would be a Monday like other releases

Might not be as busy today then or catch some out

Indeed.  Besides, they’ve also been gradually increasing the prices of the SotDs haven’t they?  I think only the Brexit one was more expensive. But the prices of the rest have all been on an uptrend.

Obviously not quite in the same league, but these are hitting eBay already: (the first ones would have been done during the 8am-8:20am tour this morning)

So thought as its sunday and I am having a real chilled day (atm), i'll join in with the giggles and get my setup ready to join the queue. 

The evolution of a queue?

Don't think this will even be enough to capture one.😄

What you think?
