Cool I would do it then cos I was told they was gone the piedmont is a good buy to I ant got that much spare cash lol 

yeah it has just sold out ...... all double thickness sov  gone, u give up your electric fags will help  save money

[Ravinella]

whats it tell us?

[whitesands1]

Is this likely 3,000 sales in 12 hours?  Yet the Strike of the day - lower price - lower mintage still available?  There is a great interest in these coins but maybe the piedfort has just captured the imagination a bit more.

I have to say that it was only when I started to really analyse the coins that I saw the features of the "Strike on the day" - I love them both.  Very exciting!

[Ravinella]

Actually what does it tell us is the most correct sentence construction....so please tell me oh thou of superior intelligence

So if a 3500 mintage sells out before an 1870 mintage that does tell us something about which coin is likely to do better ?

Did you get the piedfort? 

[mr-dead]

gutted I missed the piedfort.

Debating if I should grab the regular version

[Kman]

At what point does it say they're sold out? because it lets me put one in my basket and checkout and it's still there

[mr-dead]

add to basket not showing for the piedfort version for me.

Some of these will have gone to dealers, keep looking around. @Kman yes I was lucky enough to buy one, I added it into the "today I bought" thread earlier today

Nice, I must admit I didn't expect the piedfort to sell out in a day with 3500 available 

Some things at the mint seem to be selling out pretty suspiciously fast though if you ask me....

the 1/4 proof gold unicorn for example

@mr-dead the 3500 sold were limited presentation, but the maximum mintage is 3750 so they have 250 stashed back somewhere, for a set of some kind I guess 

[Ravinella]

Having read ALL of your last post,way up the board by now, several times you give no indication of what the one coin selling out before the other tells us other than you suggest, a pure assumption, on your part that the first to sell out is "likely to do better". What do you base that on??...to give you a clue some people only by Proofs,I know some collectors that only collect Piedfort coins.Personally I believe it tells us nothing and I was politely interested in your views.

Then you reply to a complete stranger with the rudeness and ignorance of Donald Trump with quote "but I wont say as I like to keep idiots in suspense:.

You certainly don't have to feel for me in any way, as I find it impossible to believe you that you have superior intelligence even to that of a single celled amoeba as you obviously only  possess the good manners and civility of an ignorant degenerate.

In the 12 months I have been a Member of this site I have made several new and good Friends and now having had personal correspondence with you for the first,and LAST, time I can easily understand why many of them have said to me that you are without doubt the most ignorant,rude and decidedly unliked, member of the whole Forum.

Finally you will notice that I have said that I have spoken to you for the last time and that is a simple fact. you will get no further responses from me on this matter, it is closed.

Should you wish to respond that is your right but may I just humbly suggest that will be a complete waste of your time and effort on your part as I have far more important things to do with my time than to read anything you may wish to write, let alone reply to.

Having referenced Donald Trump above I will do so once more.............SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also just another thought, but it could be that people who wanted the 2017 Proof Sovereign saw the piedfort as an option to own the design in proof standard

I think that is exactly it.

People who missed the sovereign at issue price of £400+ will baulk at paying up to £900 on the secondary market but £800 for a double weight coin of the exact same appearance will seem a bargain.

And in the box it will look the same!  If you hide the certificate only you will know that it is a heavyweight!
