So, I got a very kind reply from emailing Anne Jessop and the website listings were shortly amended thereafter. 
 

I was contacted by the Head of Collector Services and a (hand)signed certificate was being issued from the mint, looks like they’re also now making an effort to make it right by sending the same thing to everyone who purchased a trial piece prior the updating of the listings. 

The generic “dear customer” letter was sent after the above and I’d already received my certificate.

@paulmerton you’ll need a binder to keep them all in! 😅

I’ve cropped the details on the certificate to avoid doxxing myself! 

Will consider all reasonable offers on these too, just message. Thanks!

I don't even remember this coin being released!

The coin itself wasn't released to the public (per se)... A private pension company in the US got the entire order of this coin for 2022!

The Pyx coin did release for purchase but given the above and that (I think...) 2 of them had already sold at auction before the release, they didn't hang around long! 

Definitely a good purchase (imo)  

well, well, well... An update after my emails to TRM today (after my purchase arrived) has caused a change!

Arrival today! 
 

Had done some snooping prior to purchase and was hoping for number 6 or 7 as the others showed a lot of milk spotting. Win!

The famous Poosevelt error coin!

You'll have to report if any of yours too features this print error! haha

I’ve always maintained that coin grading is a business based off of a non-existent problem that was fabricated to create a solution.

A coin AUTHENTICATION service makes sense.

Grading is not a science or fact - it will always be a grey area, and as we’ve seen, companies that have a duopoly can come up with anything they want.

Brilliant Proof, Gem Proof, Gem Uncirculated, Brilliant Uncirculated, star, cameo, ultra cameo.

Not to mention designations like First Releases (as if that makes any difference to a coin’s quality!)

Or special labels.

Novelties.

You can see how it’s a business model that’s gone well beyond its purpose and nicely suckered people in. 🙂

The grading and that aside though, what do you think of TRM describing it as "handwritten signature" v the "facsimile" that turns up? 

Seems a bit meh to me; describing it as something it isn't and it does make a difference to some people in terms of what they're getting. Even if they point to the image of the coins on the site, they very clearly have the disclaimer that it's "representative of the coin you will receive" and all that. 

No doubt it's a genuine mistake that's just been C+P across all the pyx listings, but a bit of difference!

I guess they'd say they're being up front by stating it's a facsimile signature... but you'd think given the limited number of the Pyx coins, and the extra cost attached to them she could actually sit down and sign a few cards... 

Yeah; but I think the point is in their description of the product (as posted above) they describe it as "Housed in a display holder which features a handwritten signature by Anne Jessopp.."

That would suggest actually handwritten; like when they sold the Martin Jennings graded and signed pieces (that were actually hand signed)

Hmmmm.... Has a whiff of miss-selling about it 😇
