Any sneak peaks of it anywhere?  I've had a look at heritage auctions.

The coin depicts George I having dinner with Anne Jessopp.  There is a large bottle of fine wine on the table, and they appear to be quite happy.

It also reads GEARS GRIN THAN down the left side, which are the what3words code location for the end of the Kennedy Building at Cambridge University. Nice touches. 

What's this a reference to please?

I wouldn't buy this new collection at spot. Sloppy and amateurish. Looks like they commissioned a 7 year old to have a crack at them. Credit to the British Museum for the photo of the coin on the left and Royal Mint's version on the right. I only spent 2 mins looking but I'm sure there's probably a better condition one they could have referenced.

 

 

 

That's a terrible 'replica'

I’ll be in the queue I always am 😆

[CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions]

If you don't want to queue - I have only 5 left for reservation at the release price of £1185 . If I haven't dealt with you before I will need to take a small deposit, as my allocation is very small on these I don't want anyone who messer's me around. PS : Also I have only 3 left of the £5 BU's which I think this is a small mintage of around 700ish. (please don't quote me on that.) £2635 Release Price.

Credit to you, good to see you get a head of the embargo.......Can you get allocations  of other coins before the are allowed to be sold?    

[CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions]

@GoldDiggerDave  Yes, we do pre-orders of the new Proof issues later in the year and have done for 20 years in October. Though I don't normally offer them on here - this is the first time, which hopefully isn't a negative. 😊

Are these prices the offical RM release prices too, if you can reveal that?

Might start using you for a few on the next launch as I don't get any prior confirmation from my RM account manager.  Is the £5 BU matt I can't find this out anywhere. 

 

 

[CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions]

@GoldDiggerDave Neither of these issues are out. The Royal Mint have delayed the release. Most dealers get an allocation of new issues or commemoratives (we get a trade discount) within the trade. Though tbh I only normally get the Proof issues. This is the first time I have allocation of these.  I think it will be the Matte finish on the BU £5's, but I also do not have all the details for full confirmation. 

The prices I have given are Release Price

[CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions]

I know it's frustrating to some people that trade get some prior allocation - but it's good that small companies get some allocation rather than just the big companies,  - and in the past I have given part of my trade discount to many.

The allocation I have is small, but I do intend to sell these to customers not trade.

Last year the RM struggled to sell 350 of the Matte BU £5s, so I would be surprised if the mintage was doubled to 700 this year, but no doubt the Platinum Jubilee one-off design will stimulate additional demand.

[CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions]

I may have the mintage wrong - I'll try and confirm this next week

The strike seems so blunt compared to the original from almost 300 years ago, ugh!

Even the newest 2022 Sovereign in comparison to the 2002 shield Sovereign has a relatively blunt strike. 🫤

[Alz111]

It’s been months since I’ve queued up for a coin I’m so looking forward to 12pm can’t wait. 

[westminstrel]

Blunt strike!

Gives the impression that while the whole rest of the world is about 100x more technologically advanced compared to 300 years ago, the Royal Mint has somehow managed to devolve in that time!
