This bullion version of the last round pound design is news to me, so thank you. No doubt the Mint and Chards will email me at their leisure. I only have the cupro nickel last round pound still sealed in its OMP. I’m tempted by the gold bullion version though. Yet since starting to acquire some bullion coins for investment, I do miss out on the satisfaction of buying proof gold coins as a collector. Difficult choice.

This is what the Royal Mint is good at, the "bread and butter" stuff which while some might find boring, is well done and will sell. Hopefully, some of the Australian Bullion suppliers will bring it in as I'll definitely buy the 2oz silver

I picked up one of the silver four nationals so far. Nice design. Not keen on how they’ve slapped a 50 pound premium on the quarter gold which ends up being $100 aud for me… on the fence of picking one up if funds allow

I got the sealed last round pound.. love the design .. shame they have the cross hatching on the new designs.. edge lettering would have been enough... as for the seal .. packaging looks really good , and I think some future designs will be awesome ... but they have started with a dud .. well .. the coat of arms side at least... I'm done with buying silver altogether from the R.M as sick of sending coins back for QC issues .. but maybe gold quarters .. proof and bullion could be an option..

Yes, in the same way that the royal Canadian Mint leverages the maple design and does quite well with that, The Royal Mint could just draw from it's ri h history and heritage and be selling new issues in perpetuity to an eager market which goes to them because of that. Maybe not for their proofs though, those premiums, stacked on top of the unruly breakout in the price of gold (and silver), relative to our hardly moving incomes, makes adding Royal Mint proofs to one's life, an unnecessary expense.

Northern Ireland does not have an official animal, the stag has nothing with it, so not sure what that's about. Best I can google: "Northern Ireland only became a separate country in 1921, and no animal serves as its national symbol today. There is an ancient Coat of Arms for Northern Ireland that displayed a beautiful Irish Elk, but it fell into disuse in 1972. That animal was actually a giant deer, extinct for thousands of years"

I learned my lesson years ago about buying from the mint. I am now an after market buyer where the coins eventually trade as bullion. It just means I am years behind. If everybody stopped buying from the mint there would be no after market.

stopped buying from the mint last year and they have lost my business due to the price hikes

How has Perth mint held off increases , they should ask themselves. They should look at other options like process improvements that make it cheaper to operate instead of taking the easy path of raising prices. There will be a point where only the top 10% or less of the population will be their market and revenue will diminish

beautiful queens beast coin, one of our favorites !

The U.S. Mint is doing the same thing. Prices on silver coins increased again yesterday.

Paying a grading company to tell you your beautiful proof coin is a beautiful proof coin doesn't make sense. Especially when they knock a point off due to a microscopic flaw, which makes the graded coin less valuable than the raw. Buy made for collector proof coins on the after market when the hype has cooled down.

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.
