Just a beautiful coin in every way. I hope Spain eventually mints these in 1/4 and 1/2 ounces.

I just found and joined this forum today.  There are no gold and silver shops within 150 miles of my home so I am in hopes of finding out if there are any reputable gold and silver bullion dealers in either Phoenix or Tucson, Arizona.  It appears the vast majority of members here are from Great Britain and probably would not know.  But I will ask anyway....... Does anyone know of any bullion dealers (not pawn shops) in the two cities above?
Thanks in advance

@Ceaiu and for those that collect 10oz kook, the 2022 is out on presale
 

My wish is that Perth did the gold kookaburras in 1/4 oz. I can't justify premiums on the 1/10 oz.

I really like the 2023 Kookaburra. It appears they took inspiration from the 2013 coin with two baby kooks.  The same flowers and everything but the birds are now adults.

I like the Valiant a lot more and sadly it seems the RM doesn't see it that way. For me it's Valiant>>>>Britannia>>>>>>>>>>Royal Arms.

I find the current color difficult to describe.T he marketing is reddish pink but in hand it's like a shiny brown with a golden shine if one rotates the coin. Personally I rather like them as sovereigns mixed with the matte gold of Perth Mint coins looks really good. I've never seen a sovereign with partial silver alloy but I guess a little changes it quite a bit or otherwise it wouldn't be such a persistent talking point. US Eagles have some silver and certainly have a more 'gold' look than a sovereign but clearly aren't 9999 pure. Based on that, I can see why people want silver in there.
I would assume adding silver would add more production cost and it's just easier to go with the 9167 gold 833 copper.

Hope so, at this rate the St. George will soon become the rare special reverses...😅

Just want him back lads.
Reckon we'll get Georgie back in 2023?

As any Male Porn Star will tell you, it's all a matter of lighting...

Both are great but the lion in the memorial sovereign is awesomely fierce.

Always been a fan of JC designs and this time is no different. Not to say TN isn’t goodC I really like it, but personally, I much prefer the hyper detail and more realism style of JC interpretation of the shield. Normally ‘less is more’ - but I think he even gets away with such a complex design without much white space. An achievement in itself. I think JC design will be a big plus point for the future desirability of this coin. If 2014 Brit, QB, are anything to go by - people like his work. Absolute beauty, and can’t wait to see it in hand.

If Sovereigns with King Charles III are now less rose gold it will all make more sense to me.
Historically gold Sovereigns have pretty much been 22 / 24 parts gold and that tradition will probably continue.
- Rose gold for the Queen.
- Gold gold for the King.
And makes it easier to identify the monarch on your Sovereigns just by the colour.
Very clever idea by the RM if this turns out to be true and really like the concept.

The Queen wore a crown. That alone makes her much cooler. Charles is progressive enough to not wear a crown but not progressive enough to keep the earrings. It's very disappointing.
