I got my 2022 Queen Elizabeth Memorial Definitive Uncirculated Set on Thursday and it includes the memorial circulation £5 and the circulation 50p with the other denominations having the privy mark. I love it and the effigies of Charles III are very realistic. I wish they had allowed Jody Clark to design it, however.
I am having a tumbler cup made for me in England, it’s going to be made by an outfit in Sheffield, it will be raised, completely made by hand, then sent to London for assay, starting March 1st, there will be a hallmark available for Charles coronation. I’m having that added so this will be a true Charles III piece of silver. I’ll post pictures here when I get it. Probably 4-6 weeks out still. 👍
Congratulations- I have several of the memorial issues coming (50p, sovereign sets, etc) but it’s a waiting game. They tell me most proof stuff is delayed. I’ve given up stressing and figure they will come one way or the other.
I got my Gold Sovereign yesterday from APMEX to add to my Great Britain Gold Sovereign type set. It's pretty reflective and was somewhat difficult to get decent pics.

My cup isn’t back from England yet, but it shouldn’t be too long. Anyway the other day I was on the London Assay Office’s website and saw this picture of the Coronation hallmark, struck in aluminum

amazing detail
only offered on coronation day, or 2023 post-coronation?

Actually, a very large window of time… March 1 of this year through December 31, 2024.

Nice one.
I cheaped out and got one of the circulation types that they distributed in late 2022 through the post offices. It’s very bagmarked.
That's really cool actually! I like the normal strike version.

I'm waiting for the Sixpence - yes they actually make them again.
I think it would be cool if a moneyer were commissioned by the Crown to make Chaz 3 hammered groats.

Somewhat surprised that the Royal Mint hasn’t capitalized on hammered groats yet! Great idea though. 🙂

I just can’t get past the Dumbo-esque ears that just seem to remind me of the less substantial aspects of the monarchy.
Well, just Love coins, period.

Still waiting on all my qeii memorial silver proofs, and trying to snag one of the die trials in the auction this weekend.
Wish me luck 😅💸
I have two coins at this time. A 2022 5 Pounds Tribute to the Queen and a 2023 Silver Britannia.

It took several months to get these.

Apparently my cup has been made and videos sent by the maker!
It’s awaiting assay in London, then it should be on its way.
Here’s a short video of the planishing (final hammering)

They are on sale here in Athens, Greece, but at a premium that does not make much sense to me, it’s a bullion sovereign after all.
@3stars was the APMEX price similar to other bullion gold sovereigns?

Apmex currently has them for $473

I've had Charles III in hand for 29 years now.
Dug this pair up about ten feet apart from each other. They were the first 1700s coins I ever found while detecting.
