I've not had any whisper of anything new

The last Comms I had from my RM account manager was trying to peddle off the last QEII items they've got left and option to get at a very uncompetitive discount.

Not sure what may be due to launch? 

Maybe a plain edge piedfort crowded portrait coronation set in limited numbers?? Highly unoriginal but understandingly predictable after the QEII plat success jubilee.

Even x70 lots of £10k+ is a nice litter earner whichever way you look at it 

I'd take something like that tbh. Seems they've been super secretive with this release unlike usual though

Not to my knowledge,  I would be a beauty.

Is there anything significant historically happening for this release? It must have something to do with KC first year surely to warrant an exclusive release

Hype was there at the time. Nothing has really done well from there in a long time. I picked up a Plain edge for 6k not so long ago & sent it out to Japan for a quick £500 profit. I have had a couple 5 sets since then 2022 & 2023. Lucky if you got your money back on those. 

From what I am seeing crazy inflated prices are gone for now on RM items. The modern coin market is really poor right now.

Which plain edge piedfort pattern Sovereign denomination did you get for £6,000?

I have checked already August 1923, 1823, 1723.

Nothing significant.😂😂😂

Likely utterly mindless ramblings of someone that doesn’t have a clue…but…a mintage of 70, in a Coronation year, exactly 70 years after the last Coronation. Some kind of Mother/Son Coronation effort?

@Oldham25 said the mintage is supposed to be 75.

The only thing that comes to mind is King Charles’ 75th birthday.

Ah my bad. Thought it was 70. In that case 75 for a 75th makes perfect sense 👍🏼

[Chrisplym]

Isn’t King Charles’ birthday in November (and his official one was in June)?

[Paul]

If the release is so posh and exclusive why is it being released in the peasants metal, silver ?

I smell a SOTD shakedown incoming for this

It's a mintage of 75 not 70

Maybe it’s combined gold and silver set - like 2023 definitives we’ve been expecting?

Isn’t this the 2023 Piedfort Sovereign set? Crowned Portrait.

Apparently it’s gold AND silver; but not sure if separate gold and silver sets or combined in one set. I love a mystery. 😎

May just fly off in the post with that (lack of) weight. 😆

[Olivard]

Could be something to do with a year since coming to the throne.  Since he doesn't want to do anything to celebrate it (for obvious reasons) a very limited release of something special might fit the bill.
