I Think I am DONE...We Need To Talk About The Royal Mint!

You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean the mint will care enough to refund customers. Another question is that a few of these in recent auction results are actually achieving above issue price. Some, definitely not making money and go under issue price...Others are making a little money assuming you sell with a sellers fee offer and don't get scammed! To clarify, these screenshots are of sold listings on ebay, not just buy it now's unsold.

I don't have a screengrab of the original product release. BUT, I did copy and paste all the information on the first coin into my YouTube video description: The British Monarchs Collection is a revolutionary new coin series celebrating some of the most iconic kings and queens in British history. Naturally, such a landmark collection deserves a worthy introduction and there is arguably no better place to start than with one of the most famous regal families in British history – the House of Tudor. SPECIFICATION VALUE DENOMINATION £2 MAXIMUM COIN MINTAGE 1260 ALLOY 999 Fine Silver WEIGHT 31.21 g DIAMETER 38.61mm REVERSE DESIGNER Alexander of Bruchsal OBVERSE DESIGNER Jody Clark QUALITY Proof YEAR 2022 PURE METAL TYPE Silver EDGE Milled Beginning with the founder of the Tudor dynasty, the first coin in The British Monarchs Collection features a classic portrait of Henry VII as it would have appeared on the coinage of the time. As one of the most iconic kings in British history, this design provides a fascinating glimpse into the rarely seen coins of his reign, whilst also presenting a unique prospect for would-be collectors and history aficionados. As one of the oldest working mints in the world, we have produced coins for a plethora of regal dynasties throughout our 1,100-year history, including some of the most legendary monarchs to wear the crown. The British Monarchs Collection uniquely celebrates these iconic kings and queens by providing a numismatic snapshot of their reign through coin designs of yesteryear. Utilising genuine historical samples coupled with state-of-the-art technology and numismatic processes, our master craftspeople have faithfully recreated these classic designs just as they would have appeared during each monarch’s respective reign. This innovative, five-year series will feature 21 monarchs in total, featuring iconic kings and queens from four royal houses: Tudor, Stuart, Hanoverian and Windsor, formerly known as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Each year will see the launch of several new coins, released sequentially in January, March, June and September*. Whilst the designs remain true to the originals, the coins in this new collection are finished to Proof standard, which provides a clearly defined finish that accentuates the details and enhances the overall aesthetic of each one. Available struck in 999.9 gold or 999 fine silver, the first release in the range celebrates Henry VII. Featuring a Tudor design, it is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from one ounce to five-ounce editions. Here is also the original mint schedule too:

Oh don't worry I will be holding them to task on this. Our voices won't be ignored.

So, I can just about see a small scenario where if you can demonstrate you were collecting the whole run of a particular coin type you MIGHT get a return refund IF they were acting in good faith and practice. One off coins I think that is a much harder argument to make. The big IF here is that The Royal Mint would act in good faith and "do the right thing" and we all know just how much that is likely to happen. The good news is that my request for a return refund has not been declined yet. They ARE considering it (or so I am lead to believe).

They are taking this more seriously now. I hope for more information to share around historics soon enough. I have a meeting with my MP scheduled for late April!

Well, This Is Just A Lovely Silver Coin - Come Have A Look How Good This Day & Night Jaguar Is!!

You're just not special enough buddy!

Did you have a winning bidder email? I think they have basically assessed all the bids before and after the emails and have then got in touch with the 23 people that were winning when the emails went out.

That's going to have to come from those that were affected. They told me there were some that were directly affected by the emails and had impacts on the bidding. Good to know they have been trying to resolve this on a case by case basis though. Should never have happened in the first place, but its good to get some accountability from them.

WE WON - The Royal Mint Formally Apologies For Their Underhanded Auction Tactics!

The Royal Mint Apologises!! Starts “The Royal Mint sincerely apologises to our customers for issues regarding our recent silent auction, closing Sunday 17th March 2024. “We accept that a silent auction is just that - and we should not have issued communications to bidders whilst the auction was still live. We have taken steps internally to ensure that this does not happen again. “We have reviewed the impact of this communication on the outcome of the auction, and we have been liaising directly with affected bidders. Each has been offered a solution that works for them, based on their individual cases. “The trust of our customers is fundamental to our business, and we are sorry that we fell short of expectations.” Ends

Be careful not to put more value than the insurance on the package. If you put £3000 worth in a £2500 value package it could invalidate any claims you need to make. Split them up. As Spyder said though, no need to tell post office staff what is inside and make sure to package well.

Well, my offer I messaged is only valid for payment on delivery.

Testing My Gold & Silver Once Again - Sigma Metalytics Pro Mini Review!

Point 1: The Royal Mint's Website is absolutely usless. However, when you placed the order hopefully you had an order confirmation email? Point 2: You are correct, they wont accept a return for bullion products Point 3: If you need a formal invoice to help your claim then get in touch with customer services and they should give you one, by law they have to. Point 4: I have shipped gold to Ireland without issue. When declared correctly with the right customs codes it works smoothly. Don't give up hope!

I would not be surprised if the Royal Mint have made a boo boo and put the incorrect customs code on the package. Seems like a very Them thing to do.

I think you will be able to sucessfully challenge this. You might have a lengthy battle with the ROI customs department, but it is possible.
