The million pound question, from a technical point this is how they are made and there’s no post production imperfections then it should not affect grading, however as you know it’s highly subjective.
got several gold and silvers in already for folks just have to see how they do.

Is that the engineers technical term for it ?

The wibbly edge shouldn't affect the grade, as it's an artefact of the striking process.

5oz door stopper arrived. Pristine coin on both sides. Lovely presentation to the viewer. Lettering edge marginally off but it’ll do fine as a door stopper for my grandkids’ playroom in the future.

I am so pleased that I bought this coin. The design looks so good in hand.
Here are some photos of my 2oz gold. I was lucky enough to have a low COA number of 8.
It looks great but has some curved indentations around the edge of the obverse between 12 and 3 o’clock. Does anyone know what has caused this? Should I return it to be replaced? Thanks for your input.

It stinks 💩 on all levels
Even basic little me here, I've popped stuff on eBay for auction and it didn't make what I had expected. What did I do ? Took it on the chin, honoured my part of the deal as seller, sent the goods and got on with life.

The raised edge lettering caused as much trouble back in 1818 :
"MY DEAR SIR, Saville Row, May 26, 1818.
THE raised letters on the edge of the crown piece are so much admired that I have determined to make the coinage upon this plan, notwithstanding all the difficulties which present themselves. I therefore beg you will set Jerome and Harrison to work to make the collars of these pieces. I mean that all the eight presses shall be employed in the coinage, and collars must accordingly be made for them all. The greatest care must be taken to have every collar as perfect as the one in which the pattern crowns were struck. As the crown pieces will be of the exact size of the pattern, the collars may be made without delay. As we are free from work, we have no excuse for not making these crown pieces perfect, and by using the eight presses, and keeping them constantly going, we shall soon get through the coinage, which will be unique and inimitable. Pray do not allow any difficulty to be thrown in the way, but follow this up as an order which must be enforced, and upon which I cannot hear of objections.
J. W. Morrison, Esq., &c. &c. &c. (Signed) Yours very sincerely, W. W. POLE"
The edge lettering required 3 blows, and the coins were expensive to produce, but as you can see Pole was having none it.
