Where does it say £800? I can't even find the page for it on the RM website. Anyone have a link?

So it's a normal sovereign with a portcullis mark for £800 . Not good value for money 

It actually makes the gold 50p better value... shame the design is just terrible.

Thanks. Wow, like others have said £500 quid extra for basically a privvy mark. Interesting...

Is that mintage considered low, or no?

For a strike on the day not really, most of the modern ones are more around the 650 mintage mark, with the 2017 SOTD 200th anniversary being 1817 i think due to the year significance. so 1500 is pretty high for recent standards.

Does anyone know what is going to be in the two coin set?

1973 proof perhaps?

I did wonder......do you think it may be similar to the 2019 Kew coins? They would have JC's fifth portrait and be dated 2020?

So you will be paying 30 for two cupro coins in a posh box. Bit like the Indian Sov they are currently flogging for 400 quid. Nah. Thanks, but no thanks. Zero interest in this. I will be asleep at midnight dreaming of a world where ceramic pigs full of spot price sovereigns live in peace alongside their human masters.

I thought I had done a good job previously of hiding my communist persuasion? Damn it........

[Oldun]

I do hope someone comes up with an absolute belter of a homemade presentation.

[TheMadKing]

Well here it is

[terakris]

I presume that photo is to scale and that makes the price worth while... result.

[Oldun]

That is a VERY expensive plastic box and coloured piece of cardboard...

[TheMadKing]

@terakris Nope that's for the new packaging (picture above) ^

[trp]

You’d have thought for the price they’d have put it in something that looks a little less like a lunch box. 

[Tn21]

Are the 50 p version worth buying ?

No knowledge in this space what so ever 

[terakris]

So another matt finish... again.  A nice DPL finish is much nicer and especially as they cant do matt finishes to save their lives.

You would have thought for £800 the SOTD sovereign would have been in a glossy wooden box.

[Downs523]

Currently in their online queue, says over an hour. Off to sleep 😀

[goldmember44]

So.. turns out we ARE paying £300 extra for a pretty box (or, rather, same box with coloured flip).
