Wasn't a for sale post. But One of commenters offered 19,000

Just received my coin and wasn’t overly excited to have a look at the condition so here it is - a few marks and what concerns me more is the shine isn’t there like most silver proof coins it’s kinda not polished if you know what I mean. 

Never???? The RM don't are mistakes,unheard of...🤣🤣🤣

It's the same story time and time again unfortunately...we all get hyped up with a new release....in the days running up to the Monday morning 9am queue fiasco we are chatting away on the forum with excitement, queue, either lucky or not to be 2000th in the queue at 9.01am....
We receive the coins and....they are damaged dents,marks or spotting, loose capsuals damaged box"s...and then get frustrated..moan..and take out our frustration with the QC with the RM...send them back,albeit not all of us as some do come through ok. 
Then we do it all again on the next release.....I guess the question is simple....WHY!!!!!! 🙂🤣

It would be good to know how many people got this coin on the forum (possibly 3 or 4 hundred?) and how many had significant issues. Folks complain when they get terrible, some folks showcase if they are really pleased. The majority I suspect add to the collection with no comment and set their sights on the next target. 
Having said all the above, not received mine yet so may well get another disgruntled post!!

A bit random and my attempt at sounding like I know what am talking about. which I have to try and do more as I am now a mentor of the forum 😂
but after looking my as this coin, I think the gillick of the queen would of been a Better choice 
after all a young Vicky is being used so why not marg 
“apologies if already mentioned” 

For the quality issues, I think it's one (or both) of two things:
1. Gold coins getting gentler treatment, more time to pack and generally better QA. Also delivered by DHL/UPS due to value, which appear to have gentler hands
2. Silver coins - many more to ship of lower value, undoubtedly a different team. Less time to pack, less QA and delivered mostly by Royal Mail. Some areas have postmen that juggle parcels etc..
Just my assumption, also the reason I stay away from silver proofs, as just not worth the time it takes to get perfect coins and then having to worry about milk spots over the years.

My set is complete! To say I'm very, very happy is an understantment 😂
Few bits of dust on the capsules I've not cleaned off yet, though the coins are perfect.
 
 

Exactly what I thought. The excitement of collecting proofs has evaporated when the game is over before it even sodding started, for me at least. Just getting bullion now, much more bang for my buck too. Thank you. 

Yes, well spotted!

Maybe the way forward is just to buy standard Gold bullion and sovreigns, can never go wrong and will always get what you want. We all get caught up in the hype with these new releases,get stressed on release day and pay well over the top premium wise.
The only people that really benefit are the RM and the Flippers...Stick to bullion...we all might live longer without all the stress.. 🙂

Buying from the Royal Mint seems to be like buying event tickets where you can't get hold of the tickets you want as they've been snapped up by the likes of Ticketmaster, so you're either forced to buy from them at a premium or just walk away empty handed.

Totally agree, sent a similar message via my RM profile last week. Heard nowt since..

Plenty for sale on ebay now....

Glad I didn't get one I'll be dead by then and wouldn't get  the profit...🤣🤣

Well think I'm ready...
