I am indeed, but I have been buying for a long time I have the luxury of cost averaging which a new stacker would not have
I remember people asking the same thing in 2011 and then panicking and selling up when it dropped £200-250 an ounce, but those same people if they had held on would be up 250+% right now, (from memory we went over £1100 an ounce and dropped back to around £750ish within a few months/couple of years)
The price when you buy only matters if your looking to make quick money, if your looking to hold, gold only ever goes one way in the long haul.  Though buying any dip is always a nice feeling  

Looking good

We’re now two years on from this post, why does time go so fast.
So, we’re halfway ish to March 2026 and even reading some of these predictions two years later are interesting.
I am going to make one prediction and that is that two years on you’ll all be laughing (with interest) at others predictions.

Let alone the SOTD, the price of standard proof sovs is also on the march, so much so that collectors must be turning to more affordable proof half sovs.
Supply versus demand. What’s the chances of the Mint holding or slightly dropping proof sov prices if/when demand drops? Will they mint fewer? 
Off topic Monarch series wise, but just joining in the recent conversation.

I think it just adds to the general feeling that the RMint is completely ambivalent towards its customers. I know it’s a large corporation, and they aren’t known for good communication and flexibility… but to just leave everyone hanging many months after a scheduled release, especially those going out of their way to ask directly , is just poor. But we are on broken record territory now. 
 
the cost of the gold proofs for this series.. eye watering in 2022 are now not to be even thought about 🤪 surely the number of complete sets of 1oz gold will be crazy small, never mind larger. 

For sure, with the gold price skyrocketing AND the RM’s model of adding a huge almost 100% premium on proof coins, it will very soon be unsustainable for a majority of collectors to justify purchasing proof gold coins, because as most of us here must know from experience, wages aren’t exactly rising at the same pace.
Even the smallest 1/4oz gold proof coins (smallest to appreciate a design)  will be hard to justify purchasing at almost £1000.

Have we hit the ceiling? 
 
we all want gold and silver to go to the moon, the knock on effect for commemorative coins will be painful, the “postponement” of the monarch series is likely to be the first of many.   It’s okay if they can use the same dies for 50ps for example as these can be used for the  BUNC base metal, silver and golds.   The monarch series is far more limited like others.
 
At a bullion sovereign being circa £440 a proof sovereign and the 1/4 proof coins will now be north of £800 per coin (unless the RM drastically cut their margin) which will never happen.
 
I loved collecting gold proof 50p’s but when they hit over £1000 it was a step too far for me…..Jesus how much is the next gold proof 50p gonna be at todays prices £1450-£1500?  Usually close to double the bullion price.  
 
Look at the sales figures for recent years they have only sold the low hundreds sometimes sub 100 gold proof 50ps not just 50ps but other coins as well.
 
we we’re always going to have this problem and it’s here today folks collectors in their droves will be shaken out of the tree……
……it’s not all doom and gloom and there’s loads the RM can do but they are acting like rabbits in the headlights.  

They can certainly change their mind.
This might be an oversimplification… but I think in order to release any coin, there must be a proclamation in the Gazette; but just because a Proclamation exists, doesn’t mean a coin has to be released.
Most recently, the 5oz Petition Crown was scrapped even though it was part of a Proclamation.

Lovely looking coin thanks to great photos. I don’t see the RM holographic security logo on it. Much prefer Brits without it in all honesty.
If you can confirm that my blurry eyes aren’t deceiving me this time of night and there is indeed no hologram on it then I’ll take it please. 
Please PM me accordingly and I’ll get back to you in the daytime. I expect your bank details won’t have changed since my recent Lion of England purchase?

Thanks @Anteater. That’s very helpful of you.

thanks mate. The internet prefers memes, gifs and humour to walls of text, so do I 🤷‍♂️
I get scolded for being a boring git, which is fair enough because it's true 😂
