Sorry about the second post but slightly improved pics - also the obverse feels like an old style proof strike rather than the ones the Queen was using. The reverse in my opinion is too cluttered when viewed from a distance but spectacular close up. It’s a nice coin tbf. 

Also the maximum mintage numbers 😂
 

Ok the negatives, the capsule wasn’t closed properly and there is dust on the coin. It’s also a nightmare to photograph but here are a couple from my phone. No idea why Charles head looks do grainy - in real life it looks ok

It’s a very nice coin in-hand, it’s different and I think that helps it. I’m just hoping others now have the same strike as my obverse and this isn’t a quality issue. I suspect this is how they are struck but time will tell.

The grading companies are going to need new designations:
NGC - 'Ultra Grained Cameo' and 'Grained Cameo' and 'Grained'
PCGS - 'Deep Grained Cameo' and 'Grained Cameo' and 'Grained.
Imagine sending off to NGC and it is returned as PF68 GC. That would be terrible. (and when I say terrible, I mean terrible. This is not the forum changing a naughty word).
