I cannot believe this is how my proof 2022 sovereign has arrived.

This is how it looked when I opened the box. Why aren’t RM using the screw capsules anymore!!!! 😩

How the hell has this happened, I’m so annoyed and disappointed.

 

 

That's awful I trust there was no damage to the coin....😳😳

What date does your order show?

They have recently mentioned guarantees before Christmas! 😳 

No date showing was just a verbal confirmation..well not a confirmation just an idea I think..🙄

I just come off the phone from the RM they said another 10 days as awaiting stock??????🤔🤔🤔

Sorry to hear that! I'll be watching mine. 

Although it's a good excuse to buy a load more milkspotted silver and then have a chat with our famous @BackyardBullion and get him to custom make you one of his pieces with it. I did just that earlier in the year. Obviously that piece is one for the private collection, not to be sold if at all possible.

Yeah...but is there any evidence that poured silver doesn't milkspot????

 Your right, if I could inspect them myself i would send them back but seeing as I can't then I think just keeping what I have may be safer

What would people rather do if they had the option to: buy the 5 coin set and hope to get a clean “perfect” set? Or buy as many full and half sovereigns as they can, to grade and in the future trade for a pf70 £5 and double sovereigns to complete the set?

  

Personally I'd just keep what I receive.  Chances are sending them back you might possibly get a replacement from someone who is also unhappy with their coin or sets that they have returned which could be inferior to the ones you have returned...its a dilemma,and a gamble you might receive something better than the coins you send back!!!!!! Then again you might receive something inferior.....

if i owned the 5 set a scratched double is a small sacrifice to have a good 5 sovereign quintuple 

i have the 3 set and my sacrifice is the chipped 1/4

At the end of the day maybe 40% will be perfect,and just what you ordered and expect from the RM......But that's never the case..just read the threads on here to ascertain who!!!! Has got a perfect set and those who are returning theirs because they are not happy with the quality and their purchases.....in around 2 weeks we will have the same comments,disappointment,threads....  and problems when the Victorian Gothic Crown gets released.......................😫😫😫😫🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😲😲

 I am in two minds now about what to do...my double has a small scratch but the rest seem perfect.

 I'm going abroad next week for a while so if I get a replacement set I can't personally check it, the missus has a good eye and has said she is happy to check the new set...but she has no idea how much these cost and just how closely they must be inspected...and I'd rather not tell her! 

 I do feel uncomfortable putting that responsibility on her especially when I know there is a really good chance I end up getting BackyardBullions returned set.

 So...do I take the hit on one slightly scratched coin or chance getting an even worse set?

 We all know this will be a great investment item but will a single scratch on the double ruin the set? Hope I don't sound like a flipper but these are long term investments and I don't want to mug myself off....part of me thinks its better to just take the refund and have the money in the bank for a shot at the gothic crown.

 

 Basically would you keep a 5 coin set with a small scratch on the double?

Maybe you should have been honest and told your wife how much you paid for the set?? 🙄🙄😆😆😆😆

I think mine is getting delivered by hand by an eskimo being pulled on a one dog sleigh with no snow!!! 😂

More likely a blind 3 leg dog...😄

My 3 Coin set is still an 'open' order. I spoke to them and they said all was fine, but it's slightly frustrating it's not even showing closed. 

RE the marks - unless you're grading them, the set with the marks will be worth just as much as the set without them if you sell them. Morally speaking it's not the way to act, but it should give people some peace of mind that it shouldn't matter in years to come. 

Totally agree sir....🙂

Just looking at this quarter sovereign - I mean you can see the damage next to the Lions head without any magnification required

 

How on Earth could the QC Dept miss that?? Sorry to see that.😥

Anyone who is grading what label are you all going for? I'm usually just a brown label but think the royal celebration label would be nice?

I'm keeping mine in the omp...when I get them..not a grader.

Well I assumed you wrote your message three times to mimick royal mint ( as they like to triple orders in your account) but now I'm thinking I got that wrong 🤣🤣

Haha no...I only posted 1 comment but I always find when I post a comment it just doesn't go through..maybe it's my mobile app or their servers?  I waited for it to be submitted and it froze..so tried again..waited and nothing...again I tried to submit...and then I saw it went through 3x????? I don't know if its my phone or there servers,hence 3 comments....🙄🙄🙄🙄😷😷🙄

Yeah most likely just damaged capsules from where they get em,then they are rushing to get the coins out the door.

No....the money we pay for these coins there is no excuses for any faults on proof coins...even capsules..its just careless,bad QC and I can't be asked attitude...When will it ever change with the RM? I'M guessing never..😴😒😴

My capsules cracked and chipped on mine but coin is fine will be asking for another capsule.

And here's mine just wish i bought more now lol

 

I can never understand how they can dispatch a coin in a cracked capsule? It can't happen en-route..its placed in the box,packaged and sent...which means the coin is placed in the cracked capsule. How blind do you have to be in the QC Dept not to notice that and simply replace the capsule for a new one.....Astonishing 😳😳

Grade them on their own submission form in order so you get them numbered xxxxx01  to  xxxxx05

Get all 70 grade

keep as a serious trophy or pick your time to sell as a set

Might have to buy them from her Maj..I would imagine she always gets
