Had a better look this morning using light at various angles in a dark room to pick out frosting flaws. The 1/4 obverse has a pinhole frosting flaw on the King's face, a tiny spec on the field not sure it can be rid of, you cant see these when you look at it normally. The half is perfect. The full the obverse field has a very light smudge maybe grease, otherwise perfect but again not noticeable under normal viewing. The double the reverse on the back of the unicorn there is a few tiny spec of frosting flaws, its not immediately obviouse.
So overall its goodish but not great.

Selling coins describing them as proofs, flawless struct to the highest possible quality and passing them off with questionable quality control only for them to show flaws of every description you would find in circulated coins sounds like fraud to me.
To fraud a fraudster is justice for me.

It took them 2 months with phone calls and online complaints to refund me last time. its always "we will ask the finance department" like their finance department are some kind of outsourced department. Had I not complained they most likely never refund me.

Mine arrived yesterday but I was out so it just got redelivered now. The 4 coins set looks pretty and I agree with others this might become a classic. So far no flaws to be instant worry but will check closer later. The £2 coin looks impressive with the busy design but the smaller 1/4 to my surprise is also very appealing and might be the dark horse because of the lower mintage.

If the quality is less than perfect its going back and I'm done with RM.

I got my email about to disptach my 4 coin set.

Maybe. I'm not that petty, I just don't give any feedback at all. Last time I gave anyone a neg on ebay was almost 20yrs ago and I got a retaliatory one back. By hassling about with the refund it actually makes me want to give a less than postive feedback.

I think he deserves to be hung tbh. 😆

The higher price might be to cover fthe cost of postage when you return the coins due to poor QC😃

Its their "flagship" coin they were hoping it would be a sellout in days, they raised the mintage figure by more than 70% in some cases hoping to maximise profit, certainly don't want it sitting around unsold passed summer 2023 well passed Charles coronation in May when RM would be issuing another set to commemorate that event. They did not anticipate the lost of momentum in sales, not that people who bought the Jubliee coins won't buy because clearly many who bought it also ordered the Memorial sovereign, but fringe and first time collectors, many who are not usually financially committed to collecting these but would buy now find they had to tighten their belt and thosee extra high mintage was aim for them.

RM were hoping they were a sellout in days but because it is not shifting quickly enough they put a new announcement that sale will end on 31st December. I won't give them the benefit of the doubt, its obviouse what has happened.
