  1. NCG will probably pass this as a PF70 because its manufacturing error. It will have been better if they omitted "Pistrucci" altogether then you have a rare variety. I notice this with RM proofs were coins struck with worn dies are merely frosted over to conceal the defect. Chances are you see a perfect coin but not what it seems.
  2. A PF70 does not address manufacturing flaws. Some of the flawed ones being returned are manufacturing flaws but may still be graded PF70. Personally I won't pay a premium fo a PF70 with those kind of flaws.
  3. The unveling at the end was actually a perfect set of 2024 Master Engraver Pistrucci 2oz, 5oz and 10oz coins for them to take home🤣
  4. This is were all the good coins went, to the super rich Louis Tres sipping collectors club https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/dec/01/billionaires-only-please-london-vault-for-the-ultra-rich-opens-its-doors
  5. I bet their quality control cherry picked the good ones for themselves and send out all the bad ones to customers. If they have good ones spare they may go out to a lucky customer like a lottery or a dealer of their choosing. They are a public sector employers, they use your taxes to hire people, It keeps people in the job to process returns and if bad coins are not returned they have gotten rid of a rotten apple.
  6. Its a Swann from the 70s, thick trays. I got many bad coins from the RM. Only about 1 in 10 are good.
  7. You mean my cabinet? 😀 It use to belong to Baldwin the dealer.
  8. I always thought it was acid. Sand blasting sounds very fragile but if that is the method I'm not suprise there are so many frosting flaws.
  9. Looks like its a "Trial of the Pyx" example got sent out by mistake😕
  10. Not trying to defend RM but even the "Hero" ones on there website are not perfect. St George's ribcage has a unexpected wound The letter "O" on the edge The question is would you return the coin if the above was present on yours? Other flaws might have been cleaned up before it goes up on their website but who knows?
