Just got the email - available from 07:00. And pre-registration doesn’t reserve stock - order yours on the release date...

thanks! 

Won't be able to use a computer at that time, will be fiddly doing it on my phone and a bit slower hmm so let's see how it goes, might be a bit stuffed not being able to auto fill payment details

I think they’re just hyping this one up because the 2019 Proof and BU Matte finish are still not sold out, and after the last few years of specials, they needed something to make 2019 “special”. 

Hence the combination of matte plus plain edge plus privy 😐

There’s no limit to the variations they could come up with.

Managed to order one, pay for it and get it under “open order” on my account of the SOTD Victoria 200th plain edge matte finish sovs.

£416.67, so a nice surprise. Cheaper than the £500 I was expecting.

One coin per household

[Oldun]

Wow, and 5 minutes after 7am, sold out !!!!!!

5 minutes !

[terakris]

Now showing as sold out. noticed they had a 1 per household limit so i expect my order my get cancelled.

[TheMadKing]

Wow sold out already

[Kman]

I ordered at 7:01 or 2 latest, says in progress so we shall see 

[1817Karl]

Got my order in and received the confirmation email - worryingly it states on the receipt 'subject to availability'...

[westminstrel]

Insane... not sure what to make of it all 🤷🏽‍♂️ 

[Oldun]

Bloody hell, talk about quick and the dead

[fehk2001]

I was trying to get one more but it sold out within 2 minutes haha crazy stuff 😁

This is what good marketing can achieve.

The “closed registration” aspect was just a way to create a sense of FOMO. It worked.

Looks like a lot of us who registered (I admit I did too just to see what it was all about!) got in at 7 am assuming this is a winner. And turned out it became like a self fulfilling prophecy 😆

was removed from my basket as i was paying

Full sovereign with a mintsge of 650 was always going to be a winner 

They can do another 2019 Matt finish and plain edge combo this year but the vic cypher guarantees unique

Hi, this is normal for The Mint..I have had that message quite a few times...what happens next is the cruel bit...when the Account Managers start arriving at work, they will start working through their private client orders which take priority I suspect....after they have been fulfilled then the rest of the coins will get distributed...this is why I think orders can get cancelled after a waiting time....could be completely wrong though!

£416.67 totalled billed (plus the £12.50 for international shipping). That is all I have on my order.

[westminstrel]

If I knew it was £416, I would have totally got one. The £500 psyched me out 😐

It’s 0200...time for more sleep. Congrats for everyone who was able to pick one up in under the two minute sellout!
