Maybe convert british pounds to US Dollars in your next video for those watching across the pond 😊
@@dannyzuehlsdorf3697 sure thing, that's for the note will make sure to include going forward 👍
You're completely missing the point; this is a silver proof coin, not bullion. Buying a silver proof 50p will set you back £75, and a £82 for a £2 coin. Compare it to the gold proof sovereign - that goes for £800-900 putting a £300ish premium on it. £80 for the silver sovereign for a "first ever" is a good deal IMO, and the less people that buy it will only increase it's value on the secondary...
@@shaung75 I get that it isn't a bullion coin and is struck at the higher standard but as a comparison for metal content/value it's no where near the same as the sovereign. Yes the sovereign is very over priced but the premium/metal value you are paying about 48-50 over value where as the silver sovereign is around 1100 percent. Just my opinion but I just don't see the value in it at all.
Interesting. It’s always a challenge to make predictions. Thank you for making yours. I’m thinking gold and silver have popped up into new trend channels and will largely trend sideways within them. Platinum looks like it could break out but I’m not convinced it has found a bottom.
@@tomtharos4440 always a guessing game with these things, we shall this this time next year. I hope platinum jumps up a little.
I've got number 43,XXX so they must be shifting
@@picklerick4944 you can't go by the COA as they just get randomly assigned it's not a case of how many they have sold

@@JamesWilliamson-w8y maybe so
I have seen huge spikes in the gold pricee in recent days problably caused by large deals by major traders . I simply ignore them.
Gold has definitely been on the rose this year
@seanbrennan4447 please do reach out on the email in the description
I predict gold will be around £2450 this time next year. Silver will be £28. And platinum will probably be where it is now give or take £20. Really disappointed with platinum. Thinking about getting rid of all my platinum bullion entirely and buy junk 50% silver with the money.
@@daviniarobbins9298 sounds like we are on pretty similar thinking regarding spot. I only have the one platinum coin just on the off chance
Wrong but in a nice way. Lol
@@fragdad yeah would rather be wrong like this than the other way round
Don’t think anyone thought it would be as high as it is! £2500 next year or under what it is now?
@@davisstevied will be interesting to see how things go. I thought it wouldn't have gone as high now so who knows
Does the £80 include VAT ?

Thank you so much
Will there be a bullion silver sovereign, not proof and not limited? Brilliant uncirculated?
@@aquiestou77 no idea, I hope they don't but anything is possible with the mint
@the_islandstacker I've questioned the royal mint, but they couldn't give me an answer to this question. I find the limited proof version also too expensive for a 7 gramm silver coin...
@aquiestou77 the silver proof is not worth buying in my opinion at the price they are charging and I think launching a bullion silver version would take away from the sovereigns history
I agree. Let's wait and see what they'll do...

I think I may be the only person in the UK to actually buy one. I made an unboxing video yesterday and 24 hours later the regret hasn't set in yet! It's a beautiful piece but my god.....the premiums and the mintage figures are hilarious! Great video as always!
@@SyTheSoundman thank you, glad you are enjoying the coin, that's the main thing. Just couldn't justify those premiums.
@@the_islandstacker I hear you, I adore the Pistrucci George and Dragon design and I'm a bit of a fan boy. Let's hope the community get the chance to own a standard bullion version one day!
@@SyTheSoundman personally I hope they just stick to gold but that's my preference, just prefer the yellow stuff 😉

The RM should be prosecuted and exposed on the TV "Rogue Traders" programme for shafting customers with this average,bog standard offering. Con artists springs to mind.When a plumber cons a customer by charging double what the job should cost and is exposed on TV how the fcuk can the Royal Mint not be exposed?. Con artists of the highest order.
@@AdrianSams I would love to see a programme of what really goes on there and what they would find
Why would the coin be cheaper on the secondary market that makes no sense?
@@Bill-lg1xy it happens all the time, once the hype or initial launch has died down some coins don't hold their value
These coins are a stupid idea, to put it mildly. What will happen is that criminals will gold plate them and sell them off to the unsuspecting incautious as gold. I expect the mint knows this and could not care less.
@@MichaelMatthys-p2m its crazy, I hope people don't get caught out by this
Unbelievably stupid move by the RM….. again. They had a genuine chance to produce a new, globally desirable bullion coin (if it had been say 1/2 or 3/4 ounce with a price linked to spot I would have bought them by the tube), but no, another blatant rip off product. Sorry to rant in your comments but when they do stuff like this it’s just cr*p. Good video - thank you! 👍
@@UKDark_Mark oh have at it, I agree with you. I hadn't thought of that but yeah a half ounce silver bullion coin with the same design as the sovereign could be quite good. But as you say more money grabbing as usual.
This has to be the worst value coin they've ever produced.
@@aucourant9998 I think so too
I demand The Royal Mint do a 1/40th of an ounce colourised "Una and the Dragon" copper round. I insist on exchanging my house and all its contents for one.
@@mik1967 😂😂 be careful what you wish for
They haven't sold anywhere near as fast as you're suggesting in this video - the stock count for the cheaper one was only 4,500 at 9am on release day and it took about 4 hours for it to go down by a thousand. They will have given a fair chunk to other dealers to sell, but probably not 45,500 of them. The delivery times suggest most if not all haven't even been minted yet so it's a spectacularly risk free operation either way.
@@MrJibble That's what I thought, as I mentioned it's hard to know as they release in batches so unless it sells out then only way to truly know
@@the_islandstacker if you keep checking it you can tell when they 'bump' up the number
@MrJibble 👍I would be surprised if it sells out by the end of the year
@@the_islandstacker at those prices definitely!
@@MrJibble might show the mint people are fed up with paying these stupid prices
The Royal Mint has been a rip off these last 15-20 years. So many variants of coins in different metals as to make coins more like medallions. It was never like this and coins were worth collecting before they simply threw out overpriced versions of the same coin. They have gone the same way the Post Office did years before when they began issuing a new set of stamps every month instead of 6-8 sets a years. Less is more and people aren’t mugs.
@@markwiles3485 they definitely need to do less at a higher quality, but the mint is just churning out stuff after stuff to just make money and not focus on the customers who are buying these things.
Yes absolutely correct a seriously bad investment. Just another way of heavily taxing the public. Nothing changes they have been robbing and stealing for hundreds of years. Customer rights go out the window. It should be £15 with box and not a penny more.
Totally, if it was £50 and the mintage was 5k and 1.5k then maybe
I would have purchased both, if they were a more reasonable price!!, well over priced
@@JamesBrown-mg6cy I think if the mintage was 5000 and 1500 and the price was £50 and £75 then think people would really have gone for them
Agreed!, typical RM!!
皇家铸币厂的索维林,真的是他们的现金牛,疯狂收割市场。与其担心这枚主权银币的溢价和二级市场表现,又或者会不会在明年延续出品,我更担心银币的牛奶斑问题。皇家铸币厂的银币质量,真的是非常糟糕,一言难尽。
That's another thing to consider as the mint has a really bad record with silver milking. I have to say I have a few silver proofs and they do seem to be better than the bullion coins, but still this should not even be a consideration.
I come from the perspective of a sovereign lover,and see this coin as of note in that regard.However,whilst I appreciate it has added value I certainly would not consider purchasing one at these at super high premiums. I will be looking at secondary market options in the future. Of course I expect to pay over spot,but not at these extreme`s. I would love to own one and may well do eventually,but not at all costs.
Agreed, it would be a nice coin to add to the collection but maybe a £30-50 not £125 🤯
7:10 no way! RM rip off
It's crazy right!
We all know they will milk spot. Garbage. I think I will stick to gold sovereigns and silver bars.
👍👍
Slightly off topic so apologies, but what 's your take on the Piedfort Sovereign for £1445.
I don't really like the piedfort versions myself, it's just a thick version. If it was a bigger diameter to make it standout then maybe or just buy a double instead.
