2024 Proof sovereign

[refero]

this is a thread for those, like me, that are facing a serious withdrawal....

when the 2024 proof sovereign is due?

i am now so used to a new sovereign every few months... that i had a terrible terrible summer as my last purchase has been the Coronation sovereign in June.. i barely sleep, i check RM website few times a day, i m not myself anymore!  

HELP!

It won’t be long now… I think now that the 2023 definitives are out of the way, (being the last ‘major’ release for this year), the 2024 Sovereign will be coming soon.

No birthday SoTD? Hoping they cut back on ‘24 mintage

Hopefully we go back to normal portrait and G&D so I can give it a skip and rehabilitate the old bank balance after all the special releases in recent years!

Totally get this as I also need to re-stock the bank balance after the last couple of years but I'm in two minds...

The first 'normal' Sov for Charlie boy 🤔

I thought they had talked about a birthday SOTD but no mention of it so far by the RM.

They had difficulty in selling this year's large number of proofs.  They must surely cut back for a 'non-special year'.... and reduce the price?

I can’t see there being an investment case around it being the first ‘normal’ Sov for KCIII.

We’ve had his first Sov (the memorials) and his coronation - both are trading at substantial discounts due to the market being flooded and the RRP is now very poor value.

I think it’s almost certainly a skip on release and pick up on the secondary for £425-450 in a few years time like you can do with the 19s/21s etc if you really must have it!

There’s a lot of sovereign stock hanging round with dealers and at the mint so certainly it’s taking a bit of time for the market to absorb them.

You have to view it in the context of what’s going on with their business at the moment - circulating coinage is in terminal decline so commemorative coins and bullion are their big hopes. Let’s hope they don’t kill their golden goose by flogging the sovereign range to death in an attempt to try and keep revenues up.

I can only hope that the 2024 sovereign is normal and therefore not worth buying 😅

Or sending back with QC issues.

I’m still pretty certain they will do a 75th Birthday SotD with a limit of 750.

I am with most of you and sovereign overload. I bought them all, including SOTD coronation and I need a rest.  Don’t see the birthday one as anything special, especially with the coronation in the same year.  I may take a deep breath and pass on 2024 for now

[GoldDiggerDave]

The 2024 sovereign needs to go back to pre 2017 mintage figures,   17,500 full sovereigns is just way too high we need this under 10,000  ideally the 5 coin sets sub 600  495 would be better.   

I'm glad to be seeing 1 proof sovereign launch per year instead of 2 per year for the last 2 years.

I'd wager, I'll be able to buy a pf70 in the secondary market for less than RRP six months after launch.

More folk do this. Snub the launches and daft RRPs

The next sovereign will be the first to have combined privy marks of Ukraine, Israel flags and an added rainbow 🌈 🌈 🌈 so it is seen as inclusive, representative and diverse

[paulmerton]

With the huge decline in circulating coin production, I do worry that the mint is going to jump the shark in compensating for that by churning out even more commemorative tat or slapping privy marks on anything they can think of just to make it different.

Whilst they're at it and they can remint the 2012 issue with an actual good design, hmm dunno, St George?

Depends on mintages I guess.

Do wonder what the RM will be charging for the next one though.
