The crimping is different on the two. 

Yeah the silver looks to have less of a rim

 

[9x883]

Prefer it, not that I'm buying any😂

Another horsey coin calm down @James32

Poor Davids face when he wakes up all excited in his sovereigns pajamas and see's a matte proof

I wouldn't touch that with your money.

Will join the queue though, for research.

It's two lines rather than one line, 1935 had one line raised edge on proof version of the crown whereas 2 lines would be much harder to achieve a good finish.

What would the reason be for the wider rim on the gold? It just looks like it's stealing space from the design, similar to how a normal £5 sovereign's proportions are shrunk down despite having the extra space.

I think you are all crazy waiting in a queue for something which the dealers have preordered and you’re fighting over the scraps left. The FOMO is real.

Why not buy some Hattons of London specials next week and really cash in!😁

Good luck everyone though.

Silver pops but matt gold does nothing for me personally

Reminds me of my last visit to Specsavers

Exactly. At first I thought these were decorative dots!🧐

 George looking properly jacked on the silver coin, I reckon USADA may want a word after he's done with that dragon

The old Goldfather reverse Psychology- Don't bother, leave it for me.

All these negative comments-should be a short queue and lots of inventory.  Maybe I’ll just sleep in a get mine in a couple days

The matte finish is definitely looking rather sexy. 

At least on the silver.

That gold really does look the business, looks like the same semi-matt finish looks great!

Looks like the WWP on the buckle on the garter.

Much of Pistrucci's work tells a story especially the famous Waterloo medal where it reads akin to hieroglyphs........There always has been a story behind this iconic scene.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it

The gold looks very similar to the gothic golds......If it's the same finish I doubt anyone will be upset.....Let's be honest they an't gonna be a lot of people on the planet who will end up with one.
