Haha, you’re not wrong.

I don’t think it’s worth keeping in that condition to be honest. Best case scenario, they replace the coin. Going off their mintage numbers; they seem to have an extra 250 portraits lying around somewhere, so I may have some luck. Interestingly, the quality control sticker is located under the removable insert that the coin sits on. It is therefore likely that the sticker goes on the box well before the coin has been seen.

The capsule was completely loose. I’m honestly starting to think they’re doing this on purpose. I cannot fathom how something like this is able to clear quality control.

That’s slightly reassuring, thanks. If I’m lucky that might mean they're preparing to send it? I guess I’ll find out soon anyway. I’ll probably give them a call as you suggested.

The exact same thing just happened to me with the 2oz silver. I was actually going to ask if this kind of thing was normal with the Royal Mint, as I’ve been lucky that all my previous orders were despatched within the week or sooner. The coin is still visible in my open orders, so I suppose that’s a good sign? I’m not really sure what to think at the moment; nerve-racking for sure.

Yes...well, there are four legs on the Tripod after all. 😐

Yes, she was ”aware” of the books. It’s not as if they’ve sold over 100 million copies and spawned 8 film adaptations. I too am ”aware” of the books. Maybe get someone who’s actually interested in the subject matter to design the coins? Just a thought...

Yeah, the colourized version isn’t terrible, I really don’t think it translates well to gold though. The eyes on the cat... It may just be the images though, coins do generally look better in hand.

You can view the designs here, https://dam.gettyimages.com/s/3gvt5rtqc6p2b2665kvvx2w Honestly, I’m not particularly impressed. They could have done something quite interesting and played with perspective a bit. Quite generic if you ask me, though they are using the original illustrations. The Alice and Cheshire Cat is 9am today. The other design for Through the Looking-Glass will be released later in the year.

“With Blackstone’s support, we will accelerate our growth by hiring and training more graders“ Is it too optimistic to hope this will reduce grading waiting times...?
