I have tied my gold and silver to my body if we are going to the Moon when I sleep. I am ready.

Gold and silver are very heavy.  Careful if you go on a boat, lots of unlucky accidents happen around here.

Look carefully at the lettering and at the ear. look carefully at the ear in the coin below, even if it was worn, it would not look like something has broken off in his ear

Looks like an elf from lord of the rings

I can’t see the 2oz silver proof in the shop. Please can someone send me a link - or has it sold out?

Ignore that I had to scroll down past a Charles I coin but found it in the end

Has anyone had the colour hogwarts coin delivered? Mine is still not dispatched and I paid for it what feels like ages ago.

Yes I have had all 4 colour 50p coins.  The last one was delivered a few weeks ago.  I had signed up to the series, not sure if that makes a difference.

Hope yours arrives soon 

Has anyone had their Bull coin yet?

And what about the display case?  
 

I had an email at start of March saying both would be with me soon but not had either.

Seems I've been refunded for the Henry VIII I returned when I ticked exchange on the return slip, anyone had this happen before?

I returned mine and ticked the exchange box.  They emailed me saying they had received the return and that my refund would be processed soon so I contacted them and they said they were just waiting for stock for an exchange.  I got the replacement a few weeks ago.

Not sure they know themselves!

Just a quick update . . .

I've just received my replacement Henry VIII coin from the Royal Mint this morning and I'm happy to report that it looks perfect (to my eye). Hope everyone else who's asked for a replacement is equally happy.

Fingers crossed this is my one and only experience of poor quality control from the mint!

I received my replacement for Henry VIII today as well and it looks fine.  

Well the coin looks fine, the pictures as ugly as a cats arse, and Henry doesn’t look too handsome either.

Pretty much no queue for me either - 2oz is in the bag, not literally you understand, it’ll be another couple of months before I actually get hold of it
 

Hopefully the quality of this one is better than Henry VIII - I’m still waiting for my replacement 2oz silver proof after I sent the first one back

Hi all

I subscribed to the Royal Mint Harry Potter collection for the colour 50p.  I can see that they have taken the money at the end of January for the 3rd instalment (Dumbledore coin) but I haven’t received it yet.  I know the RM is a bit of a shambles when it comes to all these new releases so cut them a bit of slack but we’re now inMarch and no coin.  Just wondering if anyone else  on here has received their Dumbledore colour 50p yet?

Just found my old sales post for it.... only had it for a few months so about July - August release would've been about right. 

 

Wow those reverse proofs look awesome

Aha, gotcha - hadn't thought of that!

Damned autocorrect-I meant to say mintage not montage.  Well it’s either that or fat fingers

Hi StackerBritt,

Mine arrived today too - and appears to have the same imperfection - assuming that's what it is? I question it as it strikes me as being improbable that two coins have the same issue. It's difficult to say with 100% certainty that the mark on my coin is identical to yours because it's very faint and, even, disappears altogether depending on the light and the angle one views the coin. One would need to see the two together to be completely certain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the marks are identical, then it's reasonable to assume that every coin minted will be the same? I'm still a newbie and may be talking bollox - I'm just thinking out loud! Anyway, I'll hold off returning mine until others have posted to say (on the 2oz) that their's is imperfection free.

I doubt the entire montage will be affected.  Perhaps they were both made in the same batch before the die was cleaned?  

My 2oz silver proof of Henry VIII arrived today, it’s on its way back now.

First time I’ve ever had any QA problems with the Royal Mint which I feel fortunate about.  I have to say the returns process was easier than I thought it would be - I guess they have had a lot of practice 😁

Lol. I haven’t even got the 2nd ones yet

Second one came for me really quickly.  I’m signed up to the colour 50p series so that may make a difference 🤷‍♂️

Looks like the third coin is on its way.  I’ve got a pending transaction on my bank statement from the Royal Mint which equates to this series.

Fingers crossed it gets delivered quickly 🤞

Elizabeth's reign on the obverse is a nice touch but I'm not sure how I feel about that kangaroo.

Yes I agree,  any picture of a kangaroo without boxing gloves just looks wrong - perhaps too many cartoons for me when I was young.

 Bit of a resurrection here, does anyone know what the next beast will be and when we can expect it?

I hear the next beast is hideous!!
