Silver unicorn proof buyers, hows the quality? milk spots? 

The quality is much better than the Lion silver proofs.The silver unicorns I received were perfect with no spots.

@sg86

They are awful quality.

I will take a good look at my ones. It makes you think is there any quality control. I did notice the QC stickers that are usually on the proofs were not present on the pair I received.

what is that next to the chain on the REV and before the linear circle, hair? piece of plastic?

Also, i think the earlier you get them the less chance of a crappy one

Its not a scratch thank god. its the fluff from the felt/cloth packing around the wooden box.

That was quick!  Impressive delivery time for the RM.  Man, those Gold proofs look even better in your photos than on the RMs website.  How's the quality on both?  Have you put them under the loupe yet?  I must say, I'm hoping for the best from a quality perspective for my 1 oz Silver proof but I'm keeping my fingers crossed just in case 

Thanks I really like them they are a lovely coin.  Under the loupe the obverse is not perfect there are a few dots. Compared to the Lion 1/4 gold they are great quality.

The Lion was a nightmare it took me ages to get one I was confident to send off for grading.

Maybe they actually did a proper quality check and weren't happy with the condition of the the majority of coins, that and slow sales so they pulled them

It’s looking like that is what’s going on. I wonder if they will reappear.

I will phone them and ask tomorrow.

I live just down the road from the mint they are very cagey regarding this coin. I have two on back order and cant get much sense out of them. Also I know others who are waiting and going by what my friend was told they have been pulled.

2500 is correct on the 1/4 ounce proof.

That was the figure but they did not sell the 2500. Sales were very slow then they just went overnight. A bit like the silver proof 95% sold then sold out. Two days later 1200 back in stock.

Splendid! Do you happen to know the maximum mintage of these? RoyalMint only shows "over 60% already reserved" but no numbers. Thanks, Aaron 

Edit:

Found these numbers: 8,500 for the 1 oz. silver, 1,500 for the 5 oz. silver, 2,500 for the ¼ oz. gold, and 750 for the 1 oz. gold.

Can anyone confirm these?

Not sure on the mintage of the Queens Beast ¼ proof.

 500 disappeared from the amount available. About six days later the remainder vanished and they became no longer available. Within hours they were sold out everywhere.

Not sure if the mintage figure has been released, the proof mintage is 1000

Some very nice pick ups there, I really like the new Rwanda rooster coin

Yes I also think they are a very nice coin, the vacuum packing is very handy for storage. I will pick up a few more with my next order.
