Not sure how new they are but I noticed 1/10 carded platinum Brits appeared recently

Those went up on 11 Jan. I bought one straight away

@paulmerton- Just a website glitch as suspected. They’re all back now.

Aww shucks, I was hoping my H&B 2022 Sovereign would suddenly be more exclusive if they had stopped making them for the rest of the year

Your feedback led me to search a bit more and got these cases, they are superbly packaged a real good quality. Know I’ve paid more for the 2022 sovereign buying through the mint, but I couldn’t find any dealer offering similar cases.

Space for a carded birth year or proof underneath the tray too.

Going to have fun filling them with a date run later.

I wished they can make one that fits 1oz silver coins given that most have to choose the economic ticket for the new monarch series with 21 1 oz silver coins.

Have any of you bought or considered the 2022 bullion quarter sovereign?

I didn’t think I would with a 30% ish premium but I’m thinking of buying one or two but I just don’t know if they’d hold their premium in the future.

I prefer full sovereigns, so if I did they might arrive and leave me wondering where they are!! 😆

I have. They were about 17% more than a literal quarter of a full sovereign and haven't arrived yet (apart from the one in the blister packaging), but in a few years maybe these will become the new entry point for gold collectors. Besides, they have the special 2022 design, so why not!

With the quarters they are very small.. I've had some other quarter sovs previously. I'd maybe pick up a few halves though I think full are the best option in bullion 

[Foster88]

I think we can all be thankful that the Royal Mint didn’t use this design for the 2022 sovereign. 😆

Del boy would have loved it, lovely jubbly!!

Quarter sovs are so tiny. And so light. And the premiums are so high. I honestly don’t know what to make of them. If someone had only a little money to spend, I do wonder why they would buy a quarter sov with its high premium instead of just a pure gold bar or coin priced closer to spot.

Usually I would agree with you, however for this special one-off version I'm getting a couple to put away for my children.  Will get the complete set in bullion form eventually.  Will increase in value in my opinion.

Yes totally agree with this. For 2022 because of the special design the quarters could be worth getting. 👍🏼

I think if you can’t afford a half sovereign a month minimum, just buy one every two months.

Quarter sovereigns are a novelty or to fill out a set

I agree and I don’t have any but the 2022 might be different in the years to come. I’ve never seen a quarter sovereign as it’s never been anything I’ve ever wanted. Full sovereigns have always been my preference.

This is the reason why I’ve been considering them @paulmerton

I remember the first time I bought a 1/10oz Britannia and I couldn’t believe how small it was and but these are even smaller.

True. And as a completist, I want to have all the denominations of the 2022 bullion Sovereign since the Double Sovereign too is so much more affordable compared to the Proof sets. 😅

Agree, and me too.  Wait and see if 5 soveriegn bullion is available later this year.

Apparently it is supposed to be available later this year (someone here said it, but I don’t remember who, and in which topic).

[paulmerton]

Does anyone remember what time of year previous bullion five-sovs have been released?

The annual BU Five Sovereign is usually released around June/July.

However this is different from a bullion Five Sovereign which, to my knowledge, has not been released before.

[westminstrel]

The BU is usually priced like a Proof - so approximately 2x of spot. Or almost 100% premium.

[Britannia47]

The 1/4 sovereign has no historical significance for me as a collector. It never existed in circulation, but the RM decided to create this 'tiddler' to make more money. I liked the 4 coin proof sets as they were. However, I do like the 1/4 oz gold Brits and QBs. 

[Fishface220]

Just had a  courtesy call from Bleyer and the sovereign is getting posted out today! So can’t fault the company so far... not only have they honoured the price mishap but a nice call to tell me it’s on its way! 

[paulmerton]

Just in case anyone wants a special 2022 bullion sovereign that for some inexplicable reason costs twice as much...

Where did they get their inspiration?:
