Got my replacement set today, better but still have issues.
Going to be returning for refund

Hello folks. Sorry to say it's refund time on the restruck 2Oz Queen Beasts I've received this morning. Actually worse than my original set.
Maybe I'm expecting too much? Spotting galore but also a black charred mark on the corner of the Unicorn.
 
These aren't all the pics but a decent flavour of the issues.

Well, today i got to complete the date AND number run of my 1oz TSF Bars I've been on the hunt for. Thank you @BackyardBullion for pointing @Trumar in my direction. I just came back from meeting this true gentlemen - we agreed a swap for another 2017 bar i had, and I sealed the deal with some clotted cream from our recent trip to the South West! Pleasure meeting you, and thanks again for your open spirit and kindness. Here's the full conga!

Stamping serial numbers today, going to do some of them on a live stream later this afternoon!
I have 1050 individual stamps to do over the next few days.....

Same same - confirmed restruck replacement late August.

Well well, what a coincidence - the day i complete my number and date run of 1 oz bars, I get to ask for #96 of this years 100gers!
 
p.s. @FlorinCollector 2019 and 2020 bars originally, just for your records!

Here's the one I was talking about, but @FlorinCollectorposted a good one above too from Baird & Co.
So it seems there's 3 methods.
Pressed - these are the ultra perfect bars which are cut out from pressed sheets and then machine stamped.
Casted - these are shot/grain melted directly inside the mold to form the nice bar.
Poured - these are the ugly DIY ones that youtubers are selling with numismatic premiums.

Since deciding last year to fill some tubes of coins and getting 2 empty Philharmonic tubes I have been plugging away. Picked up a few great deals here on the forum, the rest here and there. Got the last 2 at the weekend when Atkinsons very sportingly put some pre owned Phil's up despite spot falling!
A full tube of coins feels nice and weighty in the hand. Makes me want more..... Another tube of these and then on to something different.

I have previously picked up this beautiful Queens Beast Completer coin from @Dazzlinh. I sadly missed out on picking up the designs of this beautiful Queens Beast coin series. I am going back and pick them up as I hope to have the set at some point in the future
