Thats a little worrying given all the dealers have had theres and they were getting fulfilled after retail orders.

Have you asked them what the delay is?

Maybe they are having trouble gluing all the frosting back on!

Yes, I asked them and they couldn’t give me a reason. They just said that I should receive it this week and that I am not the only one waiting.

Not the sort of service you generally expect for £850 though...🤔plus post!!! Hope it turns up OK.

The SOTD case is an embarrassment! For a coin so important, historical, and expensive, this is just terrible.  The regular proof Sovereign comes in a very nice wood case.  Why doesn’t the SOTD come in a similar case, perhaps a darker wood to differentiate it?

On a side note, the coin was packed so tightly in the case that it was almost impossible to get out.  Plus, there was a tiny piece of plastic in the coin holder.  Had to open it and blow it out.  WTF??

Maybe they're waiting for the COAn signature since I believe it hand signed and I can't imagine how long it would take to sign your name  1250 times.

@Chrisplym it’s probably not much consolation but if the RM has assured you it’s coming then it is. If they have taken your money, the coins are minted and it’s likely some logistical foul up.  Over the years they have caused me a bit of anxiety, but in the end have come through.
 

The dealers may have received theirs already due to some contractual agreement (and buy in larger volume).

 If you’re planning a flip, the prices will hold.  If you’re a collector it will be worth the wait.

Now been told that there is a further delay. This time there is a reason and it is that they are waiting for packaging! 🤦‍♂️

Not sure if you mean the King or me, but either way I hope not! 🤣

Looking at the maximum coin mintage for the full coronation sovereign, it looks like this definitely won't be made available as a strike your own option later this year

I bought a couple extra 50p Piedfort, 5£ crown, and a 1/4 oz gold to sell in US. No bites at all.  It’s like trying to sell a case of Covid- am I just being impatient or is the bloom already off the rose?

[MonkeysUncle]

Just ordered my bullion Sov... shipping next week in theory 🙂

[paulmerton]

Some people received their orders of the silver crowned britannias a week ago because one bullion dealer mistakenly sent them out before they were supposed to

In need of a little help guys, i was lucky enough to get the above 2oz matt proof 'fully frosted' upon release direct from the Mint at launch for RRP £5,495

Yesterday Ive been offered another for £6,700  (so would be paying £1,205 over list RRP)

Whilst i have followed information here, I'm struggling to find any confirmed flips, re-sales, eBay sales, auction results of any of these 

i.e. anything actually selling over RRP 

The one sale on eBay UK i found for was "best offer" accepted at list price of £7500 appears not to have gone through as the same one is relisted for sale again now 

Is everyone HODL'ing them ? given it is for the Coronation and only 100 of them, Ive only see a couple come to market

Is their no interest in them?

I remember a few chance super quick flips appearing on FeeBay at launch, were any confirmed sold ?

Has anyone seen any sales outside of UK in USA or Far East ? or on Facebook groups?

Wait until we see what the first graded PF70 sells for at auction ? to gauge market value 

I am normally clued up and can judge market sentiment on most things, but I'm on the fence with this, as a it seems a marmite type of release, love or hate it

Parting with £6,700 for 2oz of gold is a big chunk of chancing paying £3350oz on a 'hunch' it 'may' do well if the right two people want it a few years.  My gut says it could pay off down the line when times are better but my wallet says no

£6,700 invested in coronation year sovereigns would get me x18 bits of gold

HELP !! 😬🙄😕🤔

Any opinions, advice, help, guidance, insight would be much appreciated

I think the Royal Mint have sold 100 collectors a pup.

It is inferior to the "normal" proof in terms of eye appeal.

Few collectors will be impressed with the low issue number going forward, the "normal" proof will be more in demand.

It's certainly a different looking piece in hand. Like a glossy satin finish it has. The standard proof looks stunning, surprised how few have been flipped out. Time will tell how it plays out with the Matt proof, market sentiment certainly seems to agree with your opinion immediately after release. Thanks for the input

I prefer the matt finish to the mirror finish.

One has been posted on a Facebook group for £7500

Didn’t one sell at auction for £7,936 including buyer’s premium a couple of weeks ago?

I got PM to remind me of the sovereign rarity sale. Hammer price received was £6400 (what seller received) 

£1280 @20% buyers premium, vat +£256

Graded 70 

My price I've been offered ungraded isn't a million miles away 

 

[Upsidedown]

@Paul if you have the money, then trust your instincts.

Not much interest I imagine as not many can afford such a piece.

But if 100 rich guys want 1, demand will be there you just have to find it.
