    £25 million in sales in less than 24 hours!  even @arshimo2012 can't match that here with his always reasonable / forever flying out prices

    Here's my 10 pennies worth, already I've seen guys a little shaky because the coins they have bought have not sold out.......do not be premature,   look at every single first monarch coin set.  1831, 1839, 1902, 1911, 1937, 1953...........Us moral plebs have been given a chance to buy the first KCIII gold proof sovereigns and we are concerned about them not selling out instantly, guys this is an opportunity of a lifetime.   How wealthy would you have to have been to buy a 1937 gold proof sovereign set on launch day?    You would have had to be comfortably middle class and well off, what about 1911? Or back in 1839 with a gold Una and the lion in the set you would have to have been in the elite classes. 
    Some people now have a totally instant lifestyle and when things don't move at light speed they don't appear to have the attention span or the ability to step back and look at the bigger picture.  Make your own decisions, but how many times have you said in your life I wish I'd bought X when they came out or I wish you had bought more of them?

    My plan was to have a look but instead I bought:
    2 x 3 coin sets
    2 x 1 Sovereigns
    2 x half sovereigns. 
    Still might add a bigger set but have been on the edge

    Just my 2 pence, but I like the fact they're changing the designs so often.
    If I wanted a boring homogeneous stack, I'd just buy bullion bars.

    Depends what we deem a winner, but in terms of desirability and importance yes, 100% its going to be desirable and important forever more. Its a superb design and the first sovereign of a new monarch and we shouldn’t let the madness of release days distract us from the bigger picture.
    Its only in very recent years have any coins sold out in the first days / few hrs (since mid 2020) and that was due to the very weird and pumpy environment we were in. 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012, 2016 & 2017 and everything in between took days if not weeks (and probably months on the early ones). These will all be sold out soon enough if that is what some measure success by.
    In terms of mintages these (the 5 and 2 anyway) are low for proof coronation / first of a monarch sovereign sets if you look at anything from Edward VII 1902 proof set onwards. Regardless of what comes, this set is as important as any sovereign set that marked a new monarch and also rarer than most, with the odd exception (1953 for example). Arguably for Sovereign collectors, particularly type collectors this is the most significant and important release in 85yrs, since George VI.
    1902 5 coin proof set 8,000 ish sets
    1911 5 coin proof set - 2,800 ish sets
    1937 5 coin proof set - 5,001 sets
    1953 5 coin proof set - 3 or 4 sets
    2022 5 coin proof set (KCIII) - 1200 sets (less than 2000 2 Sovereigns in total)
    as something to think about, even the 1839 Una has reported mintage of 400 and I doubt that fully accounts for the extra’s struck in the years following 1839.
    i grade so I've picked up a few sets todays where I could, i’ll put a 5 coin 70 set together and then move the rest on, a  profit would be nice but not essential.
    These are superb and i think once im hand collectors will be very reluctant to let them go.

    No they did not. The 2022 proof was on sale for more than a day. If you want to change the rules to the 5 sov set then fair play but talking about the 1 sov. 
    Also when the piedfort released nobody took interest. 
    The covid sell out releases are over. We are back to reality now.

    The exact same scenario as the 2022 proof. Didn't sell out rapidly. Everyone got fearful and thought I will just wait because they did not see an instant sell out. The Queen croaked it and what do you know everybody flocked to get one.
    If people don't see an instant sell out they wait and when it eventually sells out they get FOMO. 
    By the time the coronation comes around you will be sitting pretty with these. Every time RM have hiked price or mintage a few more question this. Those who sat on the side will pay the inflated price. IMO

    I managed a Piedfort and 1 Sov via dealer so was just browsing today, it means I have both 2022s in these formats.
    Chuffed to bits is an understatement as I thought I'd only afford one 2022 Sovereign proof this year - for **** sake don't tell the Mrs 🙈
     
    Now to desperately start saving for the 2023 Coronation...

    I purchased a 2022 proof 1 Sov directly from RM on release day (arrived in Jan) and another again from RM in Dec as some became available again (arrived in Feb).
    Yes the 5, 4 and 3 sets flew out the doors compared to this release.
