Has to be the crowned Sov. Hopefully it will have a little premium over the std one.

Next Tudor beast bullion release is the 16th July ..

Greetings from a BYB subscriber #Rabbit

I'm not a fan of the new sovereigns I think they look a bit like copper

Good luck,👍🏽

Completely agree, focus on the bread and butter, and when doing limit run things, take the skills from your high quality foundation and apply. Make it more special. Over saturated "special" coins just become burgh coins in my eyes.

Like #1 🎉

Sovereigns are my favourite British gold.

Is that Alderney Puffin £5 silver coin a rotation error?! 😂

Nice video thank you:)

I can guarantee those special sovereigns will sell for gold in the fullness of time. When there is flood of rare made for collector coins, they become common as a group. E.g. my Canadian low mintage proof 5-9's gold coins.

I went for the first series, 3 each of the 2oz and 2 each of the 10oz plus the 1oz gold completer. I did miss the 2 of the 10oz completer due to covid messing things up and I had to order 2 10 ouncers from Bleyer bullion for the same reason. The 10oz coins were all flawless but it was hit and miss with the 2oz coins. I avoided the gold coins as they tended to have the usual RM bullion flaws. I was able to cherry pick the gold completer from a group of them at a friendly coin dealer. Anyway, that was enough drama for me, so no more big series through the mail. I now mostly collect aftermarket RCM proof gold and silver coins that I can see in person and get for bullion prices.

Back in 2019 I bought 16 flawless proof sovereigns of different years ranging from 1979 to 1999. Only 5 came in cases and all were purchased at spot + 2%. It pays to buy them outside of the UK. Being proof only coins with relatively low mintages, they make a wonderful collection of which I am quite proud. However, my chances of increasing the collection are very slim now as the supply has dried up. Much earlier, I got 1989 and 2002 proof half sovereigns when they weren't considered special, also at bullion prices. I do believe it's pointless paying for coin graders to tell you the coins are beautiful when it is already obvious. Slabbing only makes sense for older rare coins.

Do you know where I can buy one now?

RM’s business development strategy is certainly flawed and by producing such items as shown in your video, they are further compromising their once good name. Sad indeed…….

Oh dear Royal Mint. Shame on you. Which idiot sanctioned a totally irrelevant anniversary (as far as the history of the sovereign coin is concerned) just to flog more SOTD (Scam of the Day) sovs? A hefty price to pay for matte gold which comes 2nd in appearance behind proof sovs. I’m not belittling the anniversary of D-Day but I think they’ve issued a separate D-Day anniversary coin (a £2 one perhaps) and that’s even a repeat of the £2 coin issued in 2019 to celebrate the 75th anniversary. I wasn’t aware of this SOTD privy mark and I completely agree with your concerns (expressed more tactfully than my own ones). Royal Mint - you’re turning one of your cash cows into tat.

Good luck for the 1k subs 👍🏻 #rabbit

Love the lunar series 3 coins but the #Rabbit is one of the better years.

5:48 they love a good milking.

Just subbed as well. Saw your video on BYB. Good luck on your sub progress.

#rabbit love Perth mint quality wishing those standards could be adopted by other mints ;) or one in particular..

Royal Mint jumped the shark years ago

I don't think this issue, as dilution of available sovs. will impact the pricing of the recent special year sovs. They're more likely to face cold winds of high mintages, in a cooling market. As such, they're a long term hold.

Well people don't have to buy this privy sov, then they'll be less likely to try it again, with the anniversary of X number of years since y. Ironically if it doesn't sell, wouldn't that drive rarity and so drive up the price of this privy sov. As to why they may have minted it, speculation time. There's talk, amongst governments of the West, about reinstatement of military drafts, they are drooling at the mouth to lay waste to the European youth in a stupid military action against a Russia just defending her borders. Seen in that speculative light, an attempt to gee up militaristic war fervour, this issued privy, is a sinister thing indeed.

Good luck everyone #rabbit and let’s hope you get to one 1k subs soon 😊

Thanks for the compare and contrast video. The QB wins hands down for me. Tho not seen either in the flesh to be honest. Like your channel by the way (new subscriber).

SOTD Sovereigns are great but the pricing rules it out

Agreed, but they have been doing this for some time.. a privy for this.. privy for that.. Matte sovereigns .. strike on the day .. some.. when sent to NGC have to be sealed / or with proof of what day or date is being celebrated.. as they don't have a privy! it's all about money rinsing and marketing .. and false low mintages to hike up the prices... just look at the coronation Matte proof set that sold at auction recently.. around £7,500 for a KC matte Sov .. It just seems that .. only the richest collectors will see all these in their collections..

Just subbed, BYB sent me👍

I've always been under the impression that these types of coin aren't made by the Royal Mint. These are products from the Tower/Commonwealth/Pobjoy Mints, which is why they use the 'off brand' portraits of the monarch.

I just need the 2 oz dragon and panther if they decide to release em. Proofs nice but i just want the 2 oz ones they release.

Beautiful coin! I would keep it.

I think that you did very well. Grats. I am on an island, too. lol

Only sell very rare coins at auction ,,selling sovereigns you always lose to the commission 😮

For me it's just mid to long-term savings.

Stopped buying from the Royal Mint due to price hikes last year 😊

'Liberty Bell' is the main reason. It was not on 2023 Lion and Eagle coin.

Rip off!😮

I had not see this coin. I do like the look better than the Britannia/liberty coin. Thanks for letting me know.

Hold onto it for abother year let the gold price go up further then bang it back in auction next year itle do welk .

PF 70 Ultra Cameo, nice. Keep it.

Very nice ,I'd keep it and royal mint auction are 20%+vat buyers premium

That was an excellent result. It’s always good when a plan works. The purchase from the auction was at a very good price irrespective of the grading outcome. In terms of keeping it or selling it for a profit that really depends on what you want to do next. If you can replicate picking up a proof sovereign(s) at the price you paid for this one and then brining them up the value curve through grading then sell it. That could act as a test to see if you can make money.

Nice work and great result! I’m looking at doing the same with any ‘tired’ Makloufs and other special dates I come across at a decent price Never had a coin conserved before so good to see it can work I’d keep it if you can Money in the bank

I also think that you should keep it. The value of gold and top grade sovs in particular will only rise in the long term, so if you decide to sell it then you may regret it. Was the conservation carried out by NGC as well, or by another specialist? I’ve used both, much to my satisfaction. Well done to you.

3:56 you've done very well there I would keep it❤

i think you did great keep it

The Tudor beasts is not a beautiful series ....the Queens beasts were by far better designs.

When you stop buying from them?
