Both my replacements have a battle scar, must've been a vicious battle on the coin press.    

Thanks

If you scroll down you can see the figures for the 2oz 6-68   105-69   and  192-70 
I think there is 42 5oz  at 70 and also 1   10oz at 70.
There may be others in different cats on NGC 

received the 2 and 5 OZ Silver today.
No expert but nothing specifically wrong with this under a glass
 

Just taking a look on NGC and all graded 2oz gold are coming back  70 thus far, 17/17

It seems ok, nothing obvious wrong with it using a magnifying glass. 

Whoa! If this is on both coins, could it be a hairline die crack? Or just a fibre stuck on there? The imperfection is too similar across both coins.

Mine arrived as well. Both are struck of centre, causing problems, is yours the same?  
 
 
 
 

Such a stunning coin... I'm going to keep requesting a replacement until I get a perfect one!
These are relatively minor imperfections, but I've paid too much not to expect better.

Looks like mine is finally arriving tomorrow. See how it looks then!!

What's oil got to do, got to do with it?
What's oil but a second hand crustacean?

Yet to receive my initial 2 OZ. RM stating delays in production for these.... hopefully it will be OK when it finally arrives

Replacement 2oz silver arrived... going right back again!
At this rate, it's going to cost them the full value of this coin on postage charges alone!
 
Missing frosting from some of the lettering and scratch marks and damage around the rim of the obverse.

Paper to gold ratio indicated as being up to 123.16 from around 122.2 https://usdebtclock.org/gold-precious-metals.html a few weeks back. Around 0.8% more, so with around 200,000 worldwide tonnes in total above ground gold = 1600 tonnes (back of napkin figures) additional paper gold having been created out of thin air, which is around the same amount as the 'unknown' big buyers 1500 tonnes purchase that drove the price of gold to spike. Could be a indicator of a pipeline reversion back down to £1600 former (pre 1500 tonnes purchase) price levels. 25th April Option settlement date (downblip) has now arrived. Next down blip may align with subsequent settlement dates https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/gold.calendar.options.html until getting back down to the £1600 level (give or take £/$ FX and/or rise/fall in world geopolitical fear-factor).

Why thank you!

I received an email yesterday saying that my 2oz silver is on its way. I'm pretty stressed about it but we shall see. 

My replacement 2oz is apparently also on the way... Got the email notification minutes after speaking to my acc manager about a different issue, where she confirmed, "we are waiting for this to be struck and will then be sent out to you"...
Talk about efficiency!!!  

Thanks for the update. I’m still waiting for my milky 2oz replacement. 😓

True but its an issue they should be trying to resolve. I have plenty of RM coins without milk spots, most of which are from the 1990's to 2000's since 2010 it has become more and more an issue on coins I have bought that were made by them. If they can produce coins without the process is good and they have purified the metal well enough, if they haven't they should be actively melting it for bullion only and trying again. Or at least be changing their quality control methods so that they can pick up issues early and remove coins to be remelted and replaced with a good minted coin for proof issues.
The whole arms length check must go, how is it they can't bring a coin closer to their eyes in the same space of time to do a quality check, why arms length, 

I remember when I bought a Queen Vic jubilee head sovereign for £250 thinking that was expensive a few years back. You end up wishing for those days again.

In the not so distant future you’ll be looking back on that purchase and think it was sooooo cheap. However, I know the feeling of stomaching such a purchase at the current pace of the gold price can be daunting. 
Highest so far for me is 433 on TSF. 
Copper sovereigns should be half price! Absolute daylight robbery! 🤣
