I am worried enough about buying one proof coin (especially silver) from the Mint, let alone a set of ten, that takes a brave man or woman indeed imo. This 100% absolutely should not be the case but alas many of us know the Mint too well by now
The ridiculous thing is they sometimes get it SO right. For example I've never had a problem with proof Sovs. I believe it's different departments or 'teams' at fault (perhaps QC only) but that may be another topic.
The really worrying thing on these is the milk spots. That points to a bad batch of blanks (not necessarily for all 300, but there's a fair chance). I'd be nervous about holding a set of these, much less exposing them to greater risk by getting them graded. Milk spots happen, but on quality coins should be very few and far between. I've only ever had one bullion Kook milk on me out of hundreds, for example, and I was shocked to see it, such is Perth's quality. Worse was a proof Libertad in a set, but that was years after production. These should not be turning up milked, or milking after days.

Nice!!! The 2000 and the 1993 kook proof designs are my favs as well. Are there any other design/specific years you are looking to get?

Just received this beauty the 2oz completer which is not a completer lol. I'm very pleased there are no milk spots although the screw cap was loose ffs (how hard is it to tighten a plastic cap) luckily the coin was OK. As a collector I feel gutted for you guys who have got the 10 coin set with problems, this should not be happening to a premium set grrr.
 

My 2 1oz gold bullion Queens Beasts completer turned up today!  

Funny you should say that!

They are nice, aren't they?

Today I received a 1 oz liberated. I am slowly going back and picking up the previous dates so I can have a date run at some point in the future. Wish me luck!

90oz of Kookaburra proofs. I was searching for the 2000 set for quite a time now, finally got it. For me one of the best Kookaburra designs ever made. With a low mintage of 266 only it’s very welcome to my collection.
 
 

5oz Silver Graces returned from the grader and is now a PF70. The coin is almost impossible to photograph but in hand is flawless 
 

Ordered 9am Saturday and arrived today. One of the best finishes I have had from the mint.
 

Received this 1996 2 oz Kook privy mark in today. For several years now its been relatively easy(for the most part) to find any privy kook you were were after on ebay. Even if you had to wait a couple of months, it would show up eventually. Now its getting harder and harder to find some of these as time goes by.

More from the EIC...............Crown pattern silver proof 3 graces.   Plain edge  

My 2021 Double Sovereign.................Bought this simply because I think it's a beauty. Even got some free tea!
Only 50 minted, it has the original inscription as the original 1489 Sovereign. 

My latest acquisition, probably over paid but really wanted it 😬😂
