2023 Coronation King Charles III and Queen Camilla Gold Sovereign

[refero]

who missed it on 24-04 should try to secure 1 asap in my opinion. As said already my idea is that there wont be so many available on secondary market on regular basis. 1200 is a very limited number indeed, if you balance the number of collectionists worldwide and the importance of the event. Most of those 1200 will just rest within collections.

Were there any coins struck on the day of the last coronation? Just wondering if there is any precedence to it all.

Hi looking for advice. I am fairly new to collecting. I manage to get a SOTD and other item. Both are confirmed pending on website and payment was pending on account.

I checked account today and the pending payment has gone.

is this normal. Will they just take payment  again once item is being posted out when available.

The magical mystery tour of The Royal Mint. 
My experience is that they always take the money straight away and on your transactions/ Open orders always show up as pending/in progress. The delivery is, at best, erratic and is pot luck. I’m waiting, among others for stock Proof from March(Charles I 2oz).

They are sitting on my money. If it wasn’t TRM, you’d never trust them.

So I take it have the now dropped the 'payment up front' where payment is immediate, even though it may be weeks/months before dispatch

Payment always up front for me.

Took the £2770 for the 1oz Coronation Gold with delivery in July. Didn’t say what year though.😁

No. No gold coins were issued for the coronation of the late Queen, as the country was under ration. There were specimen pieces made, and you'll need 7 digits to look at any piece on the market.

But there really isn't much precedence to follow. For example, £5 sovereigns were only issued on large occasions. prior to 1980 there were only 10 years when £5 sovereigns were made, including the famous Una & Lion. Back in the days proof coins weren't so common and there was no need for coins to be struck on the day to be distinguished.

The Royal Mint at Tower Hill was probably too busy minting the worlds coinage to concern its self with the needs of collectors in 1953, apart from a standard proof year set.  Imagine what it would have been like, if possible? - You would need Postal orders to the value of £5 or so, and then sent by registered post etc. Mind you, no queue, no internet, no forums - sounds great to me!😀

Nearest gold sovereign in reality a 1957 Gillick.......

Tomorrow morning at 6:66.  Unfortunately, your Sovereign will have a curse over it.  However, fret not!!  The RM said that they will remove the curse if you promise to spend a minimum of £5,000 in RM products by the end of the year.  The folks in RM sales are little devils, aren't they?

Wanna be jealous?  I have been promised Anne Jessopp's sandwich wrapper and napkin from her lunch that she eats tomorrow (May 6).  It's her very special coronation lunch trash, and I'm getting it!  I am so blessed!!

They all sold on preorder last week/week before. You’d be looking at secondary market now and they’re fetching over £1,500 on the likes of eBay

5oz Silver Coronation Proof Coins are still in stock through the Royal Mint if anyone wants to get one

That looks to be the matte SOTD, I expect the proof soveriegn issues will be the same design but shiny

thinks its a normal coronation sov, that photo is from the link above https://www.royalmint.com/shop/monarch/charles-iii/coronation/ryi-sovereign/

but since its RM. it could well be a special matte bullion proof

Shameless promotion but I’ve got one up for sale in the Uk section at £1400 delivered which I think is fair going on recent sales that have actually sold on eBay 😊
