2018 proof Sovereign - 65th coronation "crown privy"

[sovereignsteve]

So, the 2018 proof sovereign will have a little crown privy mark to celebrate the 65th anniversary of HM's coronation.

10500 mintage.

How underwhelming! or is that just because of all the excitement of 2017?

If it's worth commemorating, it's worth a one-off reverse imo

Will give it a miss

Suppose the Royal Mint in 2019 could release a "66 Crown" Privy Mark as that would be one year only as well

Is it a trick of the light in the photography or has the colour of these sovereigns changed?

Well just glad that RM has FINALLY stop milking the 2017 design with another coin variation. Probably not they still have a month till the end of 2017...

Any chance of anyone selling one of these on release as missed out this year ??

I’m kind of bored of the Sovereign after the overkill that was the 2017 range.

Edit: Also, the description states “Includes the first sapphire coronation anniversary mint mark to be struck on an official UK coin”. Is that supposed to be the selling point? You could put any privy mark for whatever reason and call it a first - there’s almost always an anniversary to celebrate every year for something or the other.

Easy pass for me

As well as being bored, they were bloody expensive to get the different versions lol I wouldn't be surprised if there's a dip this year after rinsing everyone's pockets

Absolutely! I just edited my post after seeing the description on the RM site ?

Maybe by contacting the mint they'll bear it in mind for a future year.

This wont be a rinse compared to the silver crowns, other silver proofs and god knows what else etc that are being lined up no doubt.

 

13,350 mintage....I would rather get two sovs for the 445gbp they want for this sov proof

[fehk2001]

The 4 generation of royal family crown is better when they are on discount  sales 

[Oldun]

13;350 and 10,500 avaiable as single proofs.

 

Soooooo, where the heck are the other 2,850 going....?

I smell a best of queen cd box set coming...loooool

Mint mark or privy? Surely the mint mark is the Llantrisant cross crosslet?

Indeed! It did not at all strike me that they referred to the “crown” as the mint mark in the description.

Premium Five Coin Set: 450

Four Coin Set: 300

Premium Thee Coin Set: 750

Three Coin Set: 1000

That’s a total of 2,500, which leaves 350 which will probably go straight to companies like NGC etc. for things like early strike designations. At least, that is what I think.

Also, I don’t recall a Four Coin Set last year ?

[Oldun]

What do these sets contain ?....Rhetorical

Four coin is new for this year, we weren't offered this one. Our first allocation  of the other coins and sets are selling fast, looks like it's going to be popular with regular collectors.
