2023 Coronation King Charles III and Queen Camilla Gold Sovereign

[JohnV66]

Mine arrived this afternoon. A few quick pics. The 1/4 gold proof is exquisite - that'll be batched up and sent for grading soon.

Totally unacceptable given they could pump hundreds of pre-graded PF70 to some American site yet struggle to do basic QC for their actual customers.

A very good way of putting it!

King's side is very good too. No hiding that Charles III is a 74 year-old man. Looks dignified with crown.

Really cannot wait for the Sovereign proofs later this year. Exciting times.

I've just recieved my dispatch email with tracking code, arriving tomorrow. For my SOTD sov from the RM. 

Wasn't expecting that, considering how long I had to wait for the memorials.

Thanks for sharing. Although not everyone will agree with me I think his portrait has been very well depicted on coins for his age.

He looks dignified but yet looks like he’s carrying the weight of the country on his shoulders or head. I noticed that watching the Coronation and felt quite sorry for him. It’s not a job I’d want.

I could be wrong but I sort of see him as the Edward VII of our time, a Prince of Wales in waiting to be King and possibly only one portrait of his reign. Quite sad really when you think of it.

SOTD just arrived. I've got to give TRM credit where credit is due because it has arrived in decent time and has no visible marks under initial close inspection (not that I'm too bothered about that considering what it is).

My old man is waiting at home for mine, the Royal Mail tracker is rubbish!!! No idea where it is, hopefully he'll still be home when it gets there!

I thought he looked bored. 😄

It's a good likeness though.

Looks like more of the SOTD Sovereigns have dropped.

Considering the demand I think the RM has done a pretty good job on delivery. That now only leaves 3 coins left from my orders, the 1/4 and 2oz gold and the 1Kg silver (from Britannia Coin), everything else has arrived.

Mind they did have 6 months to plan.

Which one of you tampered with the colour grading? 😏

What is the actual colour of the SotD - is it more yellow or tending towards rose gold?

unortunately the ipad doesn't allow me to change colour temp (that I can find) mine is possibly a bit anemic. it's more rose than yellow I would say.

Wishful thinking! 😆

Considering I couldn't even be arsed to remove the black fibers from the box off of the capsule before taking a photo - I'm sure you can guess who the culprit is...

Here is a side-by-side with a Bullion Memorial sovereign + 1oz King Arthur Bullion for comparison:

hopefully this one is closer to the colour

One thing that I do find interesting is the little 'QC' sticker. I've never seen that before. New policy to improve quality control, perhaps?

Not on mine - probably just accidentally put on there 

[Arisian]

It’s inside

They're usually kicking about in the box, QC confetti

Just lovely to me. First matte entering my collection (and first Sotd); love the way the numbers are represented. Reminds me of 1840's Vicky sovs

Reminds me of the "checked and correct" stickers they started putting on McDonald's meals. Half would still be missing or wrong lol it was so bad they stopped doing it.

This will probably go the same way if it is a new policy, just blindly sticking the stickers on stuff. I'm not convinced they really care
