Those silly upside down coins always get me 🤣

Well I'm glad these ones all arrived the right way up!
The full set of 2019 Britannia proofs from the Trial of the Pyx (1/40 oz to 1oz)
Oddly, they are all "one of ten" apart from the 1oz coin which is one of six returned from the trial.

So eventually, today I received...

All fine in the end apart from the glaring error of the Year of the Pig coin being put into the tamper-evident card the wrong face up so you can only see the "Trial of the Pyx" lettering on the Queen's side.
Where do those premiums go...

Oh man, I feel so silly now, but also rather annoyed at the Royal Mint.
Anyway, I'm pleased to say I have found the coin!
It was not present in that slot, nor anywhere else in the completely-sealed folder like it was for the other coins I'd ordered - it had instead been chucked loose into the outer brown cardboard folder where I have just unexpectedly found it wedged tightly into the corner. Quite a relief, but also annoyed that they had done that, and also annoyed that I didn't find it until after spending half an hour on the phone with them (it was really well hidden, I missed it on my first check!).
My recycling bin nearly went into early retirement!

Today I received my Trial of the Pyx order.
Can anyone spot why I'm not very impressed?!

There is literally no coin in the pack at all! It arrived sealed and everything!

I have a 100g cast bar as a "desk fondler" because I'd probably lose it otherwise.
I think it's better than a 1oz coin because it's a smoother shape, and chunky enough to better appreciate the thermal conductivity properties.

I have pointed it out to them and I'm waiting to see what they offer to do about it first.
